Ok next question, I saw an ivy leaf pattern that's white with ivy leaves on it. If you put that on a pink shirt with a green background, would that be ok to give to an AKA, hypothetically speaking?

Ask the AKA you plan to give it to. Or, ask someone in her chapter if you want it to be a surprise.

As a member of an NPHC organization, I can say that our colors have a ritualistic, secretive meaning; therefore we are not permitted to wear our letters with any color just because we like the way it looks, or whatever the case may be.
Thank you blulady. Now it makes sense. The fact that it has a ritualistic meaning is the explanation I think a lot of people needed to understand this.

Gucci letter pattern....shudder. I'm sure there is a LV and Burberry floating around out there too....

Hell, I get siht cause I had my pledge class embroidered on the sleeve, my last name on the hood, and my nickname on the back
Look like a "cultural greek"? Oh, perish the thought of celebrating a tradition of fully established, long-standing organizations much like your own. Hmmm...I'm glad you went ahead and did your thing!!

Why thank you very much. I want people to know how much love I have for my org, and that includes every aspect of it, from my chapter to my pledge class.

My bros often wonder why I know every chapter by heart, or most of the fraternity and chapter history, or stuff like that. They may think that means I'm like "cultural greek", but I just tell them this:

"I know what my letters stand for.....b*tch"

Question

I guess I am as stuupid as you are! DeltaSigStan, what the hell is a cultural Greek?

Hell, I beleive in My and Love My Fraternity! Stan, can you explain what the H she was talking about!!

In the words of OTTER, "Is Not Each Fraternity/Soroity have rights and feel that they are The Best"?

Oh, just to parphrase of course, I finally destroyed my Animal House tape from over use!

"Cultural Greek" is an ignorant reference to non-NIC/NPC GLOs. It would seem to me that we all represent cultures, but I could be wrong.

The ADPi's at The University of Akron let their Alpha's wear their letters. We used to not let them, as we thought it was tradition and found out it was more like hazing. I believe the truth is that Alpha's in ADPi have almost all of the same rights as active members...so there is not much, other than the crest, they are not allowed to do other than ritual...they even have voting rights after so many weeks in the chapter.

I know that.
