Our sororities and frats are national, but it's a campus policy for pledges not to wear letters until they are initiated, but most of the sororities are required to wear our pledge shirts EVERY DAY during the pledge process. no joke.

I've never heard of a campus regulating that.

You can wear things that have, "Kappa Alpha Theta" written out, though, so that's what's on our bid day shirts and totes for new members. I haven't heard anything about wearing our coat of arms, but then again it really isn't printed on too much, either. I'm guessing you can't wear that either until you are initiated.

Kappa Alpha Theta does have a policy regarding how the greek letters, name, etc. can be used. It's probably something you can find on our website. If you don't have access to the Officer Portal, PM me and I will shoot you a copy. The chapter I advise has a person in charge of designing t-shirts, etc., and she runs everything past an advisor to be sure it's in compliance with our policies.

Definitely, this is something that varies across GLOs at an organizational level. No universals.

I'll have to check that out! I do have access to the officer portal, thank you! We have someone in charge of apparel as well, I'm guessing she does the same.

hey thetaj - there are two sections to look for, one is in the Constitution and the other is in the bylaws. PM me and I'll send those specific pages to you if you can't find them.
