I'm honestly a little appalled.

Well, AST rules say that you must not associate the sorority with alcohol in any way, so for us, those t-shirts WOULD be against the rule. Interesting that other sororities find that acceptable.

As a member of the sorority in question, I'm frankly a little offended that you felt the need to specifically write Alpha Chi Omega. This could have been any of our organizations- why did you feel the need to call out my sisters and say that you were "simply appalled" and are clearly judging them throughout the thread?

To my knowledge (and I have reviewed our Policies and Procedures multiple times, as well as done the majority of the work on revising the bylaws for the past year), there is no rule prohibiting those shirts. Would I want that shirt produced by my chapter? No, and I would say something about it. But, that is not my chapter. And, as long as the chapter followed all FIPG guidelines, then there is no problem. Now is it likely that FIPG was followed for this party? I'm going to say no. I don't approve of it, but I know there are chapters where this might fly, and therefore I respect them.

Well isn't that nice for you. I guess AST never has parties where alcohol is served or allowed? Your sisters never drink? If it is, then AST is associated with alcohol in some way. Interesting that you are so disapproving of the practices of other organizations, when you likely don't know what every AST chapter in the US does on their campuses. For all you know, there are chapters of AST running around with similar shirts. Be careful calling out other groups when you don't know whether or not your own sisters may be doing the same thing across the country.

Seriously.
