Greek life is really important to me so I thought it would be neat/cute to have letters that spell something thats as important to me as cannibus

I have no idea why I did this....

I looked in my Baird's directory and Rho Omicron Tau has never appeared as a GLO in any edition of Baird's. So, if you don't find any trace of POT online then I'd say you're good to go.

I wondered if marijuana and cannibus might have been the case.
I would think that there are other more professional ways to show your support of medical marijuana and cannibus.
Wearing a POT shirt would just make you look like the stereotypical pot-head-stoner who thought it would be funny to put POT in nice sewn on letters.
Show your support of marijuana and cannibus through your actions and instead of your clothing. Surely, you are involved in some sort of activism.

This isn't even clever since the Greek letters look just like the English letters.

It's lovely that Perpberry has decided to broaden her horizons to sororities other than Phi Mu. She really has taken the "keep an open mind" advice to heart.

Good for you. I'm all for legalizing, personally. But I know better than to associate my GLO (or anyone else's) with marijuana regardless of my feelings on the subject...it doesn't matter that I think it should be legal. It isn't.

There might not be a specific "POT" group, but there are many fellow Greeks out there that aren't down with illegal activity. Keep them out of it. There are plenty of ways to advertise your viewpoint without offending others. (And another IMO: if you want to make a career out of this and be taken seriously, cutesy shirts with Greek letters spelling "POT" will not help your cause. You are far more likely to be written off as just another immature college kid who smokes pot and eats Cheetos instead of going to class).

I haven't laughed so hard in a while.


Oh, and I belong to POT. Please don't disrespect our letters. It's a super secret org on double secret probation. Don't wear them if you don't understand their meaning.

I'm part of a local called POT, but we didn't know about your group. I don't think our creed, ritual and symbols are the same as yours, though.

Our open motto is "Shit, or get off of us." Yours probably isn't the same.

The thing is, even though a Rho looks like a P from the English alphabet, in the Greek alphabet, it means R. So if you make this shirt to look like a Greek letter shirt, people will be asking you "What's ROT? Does it have to do with your crotch?" So I definitely think you should go for it.

Because that's where all the activists show their support.

Stop before you embarrass yourself any further. Oh wait, that's not possible.

We really have reached the end of the internet.
