That is when she became more uncomfortable. The unofficial word was that the upperclassmen (and most of the sisters, anyhow) thought it was great for one, and a no-go for the other. I just think that kind of sucks. She's not someone who is okay with confrontation, so I'm not sure she knows what she will do next, if anything.

Ah I see. Quite frankly I think that if you're working for Joe Politician, you shouldn't be wearing letters, if you're going to see Joe Politician speak you can wear whatever the hell you want. And that it should be that way no matter what issues Joe Politician stands for.

I think it makes a difference, one makes a claim for the org, the other doesn't. Arguably individual members don't have the authority to make a claim for the org. anyway so there are probably few if any legal issues associated even if someone wanted to go after non-profit status.
NPC chapter get so many event shirts that wearing them only to greek events doesn't make sense and it is often encourage that they wear letters on campus anyway. (YMMV of course, but this is pretty standard in the NPC) Also if there's not a problem listing College Republicans as well as College Democrats on the "List of activities our members participate in" there really shouldn't be an expectation that Sally ABC isn't going to go to Joe Politician's speech on campus when one of those orgs brought him there.
/thinks this has a lot to do with how we demonize "the other side"
