I think we're misunderstanding each other here. Obviously, no one knows the MEANING of the letters when they rush or even are given a bid. What I meant by saying "without really knowing what they're getting" is that they're not really aware of the imoprtance of being a select few able to share in the priviledge of being part of a Sister/Brother-hood. They can't possible understand the awesome gift they are being given, not nearly in the way that someone who has pledged for eight weeks understands.

Also, I think we're confused on what is meant when I say "letters." I think maybe it was a typo but it seemed like you contradicted yourself at one point. There's a big difference in my mind from wearing a shirt with ALPHA CHI RHO on it and wearing a shirt that has AXP on it. Also, if it's for some big NPC or IFC rush event, and the shirts have all the organization's letters on them, then odds are they're pretty small, and you can't really count this either. That's just sorta being anal. I know that somewhere there is a rule at our school that you're allowed to reproduce letters like that as long as they are under a specified size.

I see nothing wrong w/ walking around wearing a shirt that says: "I'm rushing alpha chi rho" or even "alpha chi rho pledge #54625" or whatever to be funny. Giving NM's things ilke this is fine, but honestly, I think it looks a bit tacky and cheesy most of the time.
