Generally no, although I knew people who did. I also know people who managed to make it work. I think a lot depends on how strict your chapter is. The people who did truly had no other choice, I knew them well enough to know they weren't screwing around and just being lazy/whiny.

This.
Another favorite: the girl who couldn't pay her dues, yet had a new lettered hoodie for every day of the month, every little knicknack that Greek Gear sold, etc.
That's not someone who is trying to make it work.
Take care of your basic fees first, before buying extras. lol.
but back on topic: Generally speaking, you don't have to depledge if you have money problems. We will try to make it work for you if you're willing to try.

Sometimes people see the financial reason as an excuse when in all actuality they're just not that into greek life.

It is never okay to perpetrate. As a memeber of a NPHC sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., we frown upon those who would be disrespectful. As a member of the International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi we feel the same way. We worked hard for what we have. No one has the right to wear letters of a Greek organization that they rightfully do not belong to.

So someone asked this, but apparently was a troll. But it's related, and fits in, so I figured I'll ask anyway.
I have two older sisters who are members of an NPC organization. Every year, their chapter has a family weekend and orders shirts for the families that attend. The shirts are usually very cute, and I have quite a few of them that I've accumulated over their years of membership. The shirts do, however, always have their letters instead of just spelling them out or whatever. I'm not affiliated with a GLO at the current time (though I will be going through recruitment at a school that does not have a chapter of this organization in the fall), but I've become increasingly wary of wearing the shirts in the past few years. In general, I basically only wear them to sleep or around my house. I've been wondering what the policy on this is, because I feel kind of uncomfortable wearing letters that aren't (and never can be) mine in any sort of situation other than this. Input? Is this perping?

Ack. I would edit, but you quoted me. lol.
Our Family Day didn't have shirts (for this reason) so it was kind of a moot point for us.
