Therefore it's just not as big a deal if I wear someone else's...I mean, you can't say I'm dogging DZ if I wear pink & green, cause you could just as easily say I'm dogging Chi O when I wear my own colors. Comprendez?

kappa alpha psi and delta sigma theta have the same colors. so regarding wearing colors, that has nothing to do with it. they still wear their respective colors. i'm talking about an organization wearing their letters in all different types of colors.

You know what, we've reached the point where there isn't going to be an agreement on this. I disagree with some of your procedures, you disagree with some of ours. It is in no way shape or form disrespectful to our ritual for me to wear letters in colors other than brown and mode. The meaning behind our colors is completely open. I am not violating my protocol, so it should not be a problem with you. Thank you, drive through.

whoa, you need to calm down. i didn't disrespect the procedure so i'd appreciate it if you got your panties out of that bunch. clearly, i'm speaking on me and my bruhs not wearing our letters in anything but our colors. i didn't say anything about it being ridiculous or stupid and i didn't say anything about about agreeing or disagreeing with anything you do, so why not relax, rub your ears and woosaah.

co sign...in now way shape or form. there's a reason for the letters chosen. if i see someone who isn't frat with my letters on, best believe that can and will be handled. intakee's aren't frat, prospective's aren't frat. in addition...none of my frat will EVER wear our beautiful letters in anything outside of the colors of our organization. that's something i've noticed, a lot of organizations will allow members to wear the letters in all different colors.

I have one sweatshirt in our colors and it is the most hideous shirt ever-- it was our Bid Day shirt, and we all had to get it when I was a younger sister. Thankfully we abolished it when we were seniors and got cute T-shirts. Red and Green are just nasty together, and they remind everyone of Christmas.

needless to say, most of my letters are NOT in red and green. My favorite set of letters is a black hoodie with blue background and the letters themselves are a star pattern. all the NPC sororities on my campus wore a variety of colors of letters.

I DO notice my sister, who is a DPhiE, only wears actual stiched letters in her colors, i should ask her why she doesnt have any others. im getting her pants for Hanukkah and she told me to get them in Purple and gold...

She would look like CHRISTMAS if she wore them together. I don't think my colors look particularily cute on sweatshirts either, which is why most of my letters are pink rather than brown and brown.

yes.

I didnt choose my sorority because of the colors, I chose it because of the sisters....

if that makes you think I'm a bad sister, then you need to get your priorities straight...

Edited because I'm horrible with grammar

sorry for being on the defense... i just dont think colors are important.... but thats me.

i'm thinking that the difference in wearing the colors is that (once again, this is a guess) for many NPC groups their colors, for the most part, don't have a super significant meaning/ritualistic meaning. Some groups, if there is a meaning behind the color, it is public information.

That might be part of the difference in views here......

One thing I have noticed that differentiates the NPHC groups from the NPC/IFC groups when it comes to clothing is this wearing of these:



and



I've always thought they were very creative!

[DeltaSigStan]

I was told by someone (NOT a Delta Sig) to NOT buy a jacket like that because I'd look too much "like one of those cultural greeks".

I'm still buying one.

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

[DGMarie]

Well, they are certainly noticeable. And they appear to be very expensive from what I've seen. I've always thought of them as being half written in secret code. but certainly fun!

[AXORissa]

i wasnt thinking that maybe the colors had significance.. i mean, I know the reason why our colors are red and green, and I suppose its somewhat important, but I just dont care for them. In fact, our chapter dislikes them so much that we changed it into Rutgers colors-- the new bid day shirts are these in t-shirts:

(this is on black)

hehe, and to show you all what my favorite hoodie is:

(as is this)

just having fun with greek101.com letter generator, haha.

*edited because im not used to this vB code thing*

[DeltaSigStan]

Actually, they're cheaper around here.
