That's very different from wearing letters and announcing "Look at meeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm a Thetaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Hey now...I didn't say I was morally bankrupt. I was a weird kid. My parents wouldn't pay $30. for a sweatshirt with a little "C" on it. Now, when I think back, I can't really blame them, even though $30. for a sweatshirt doesn't seem like much anymore. I agree with what IrishLakes said. I haven't found anyone perping my letters (except that one girl on GC who said she belonged to Phi Mu and AGD, as well as Delta Gamma, I think). I don't think she sounded like she was being rude by giving the girl money for the jacket.
I do have to say, however, I do think it is weird when people want to wear letters that don't belong to them. Even in high school, where only a small number of people even went to college and an even smaller number went Greek, I always knew what sororities and fraternities were. I would have felt weird wearing letters, not knowing if I was representing a men's fraternity or an honor society I did not belong to. That would be just weird. I want to also add, I grew up in a small/ poor town, too. I still wouldn't have done what that young girl did.
