It's all good. I feel you, but for me, I'm not going to make insults about anything associated with my frat. Even if it's shit I don't like.

I agree with you on the larger point. However, some of the items in this thread are not only ugly, they are violations of the GLOs' protocol, policies, and procedures. Do you consider paraphernalia that violates Iota's protocol, policies, and procedures to be (officially) associated with your frat? It would be different if those items were official items that are sold by your NHQ or a licensed vendor. You would then be slamming your NHQ and licensed vendors that sell official Iota items.

With that said, I typically would not call another GLO's paraphernalia ugly or horrible. It could be ugly and horrible to me but completely in line with that GLO's protocol, policies, and procedures. Therefore, I typically only care about and therefore comment on inappropriate Delta items from nonlicensed vendors. I would also talk about other NPHC items with the understanding that my take on their items may not match how the members feel about the items.

I feel you to a degree. Yup, we do have protocol, and policies. I think most BGLOs do, but if it's related or associated to my frat, I'm not going make insults about it. If it's something that makes my frat look bad, I'll step to the bruh wearing it. You feel me?

Good, then don't -do you. For me, I don't like to see perry that's degrading to women. Yes, NPHC glos all have stereotypes that are sometimes fun to joke about, but when it becomes a reality (and I'm speaking about my fraternity) then it's not only disrespectful to women, but that person is also disrespecting himself as a result, and the fraternity. Then, to advertise that mess (The Kappa - The Nupe with arrows pointing up and down)? Playboy bunnies? shirts that talk about making women "go drawless" "Nupe Juice, a taste akuired by women everywhere", etc? (yes, I've seen it) it's silly. Women are to be honored and respected, not degraded, and Kappa Alpha Psi was not founded on womanizing principles. Period.

Perry like this is what I like to wear and what's acceptable (TO ME).

Perhaps not just to you. Doesn't your fraternity have protocol/policy/standard regarding 'nalia and any representation of your fraternity? For instance, your fraternity and the Playboy franchise made that statement regarding the Playboy bunny being used as a ridiculous representation of your fraternity.

It does, but unfortunately, not all members follow it.

I felt that symbol was a ridiculous, silly representation of the fraternity long before those statements were made. Or at least before I knew about the statements being made.

Thanks. I bought it at a greek website called "Doomwear". They have some really nice perry there. It looks really good with a nice blue shirt, a nice tie (complementary bow tie or neck tie) and a pair of nice pants, and shoes.
