I just have to comment on a scene I saw a few days ago.
I was out with some friends at a restaurant. There were 2 ladies there who had on nalia for another BGLO. Neither had her hair done and both looked like they were having bad days. I guess the service was not to their liking, and one of the ladies proceeded to get loud with the waitress. The manager approached and the lady began cursing loud enough for almost everyone to hear. The ladies soon left and apparently did not leave the full amount of the bill behind.
Now this incident did not involve drinking, unless they had some beforehand, but they didn't order any at the restaurant. However, this behavior was very unflattering for their organization. When considering whether to wear nalia at certain functions, consider your behavior as well as those who will be with and around you. I wouldn't want to be at a table with someone who is cursing loudly and acting inappropriately while I have on letters. The company I keep speaks about my character, as do the places I attend and activities I participate in.
Just be careful to remember that we represent more than ourselves when we wear our letters. And my mother always told me that you never know who's watching. I just had to share.
