Drinking in letters

we're not allowed to drink in our letters, but it's fun to watch some girls easily forget they have something on...so on our get togethers we are always on the look out!

the frat boys at our school drink in their letters all the time, but i never wanted to ask if that was ok

Because my chapter is a bunch of alcoholics we clarified the whole symbol and drinking thing, and we were clearly told not too. We use those symbols, and in some cases they are very visiable so it is a representation. Plus it is the whole if your letters mean something, what about those symbols associated with them. They should carry meaning aswell. We aren't supposed to which is anal, but we I guess are supposed to follow the rules.

For those GLOs that do not have specific rules about drinking (or other questionable activities) in letters, here's a question for you to answer:

Will the actions I do embarrass myself, my brothers and sisters, or my organization?

If you can answer "Yes" to this question, then do not wear your badge, pledge pin or anything that would identify you as a member or pledge of "XYZ".

Or better yet, don't do whatever it is you were thinking about doing.

Amen.

My personal opinion of the matter is that I don't think there is anything wrong with drinking while wearing letters. People can embarrass themselves just as easily when not drinking as they can while drinking.

Or if there is such a rule-why limit it to just alcohol? Why not add in smoking, or other such activities that may not be good for image.

In the military there are whole host of activities we are not allowed to do while in uniform-granted b/c military guys can be total idiots but that is beside the point.

We also don't let our girls smoke in letters, because that looks bad as well.

I think this applies to any situation where the people around KNOW you are in the organization. If you have a mixer with a fraternity and a few of the women get absurdly drunk and act like idiots/sluts/whatever, it doesn't really matter whether they were wearing letters, does it? The men certainly know which sorority they are having the mixer with.

Perhaps it is because I'm outgoing and friendly, or maybe I'm not as in tune with other people or as observant, but somehow, in all walks of my life, more people know who I am than I know. When I was really sick and lost 65 pounds in 5 months, people I never saw before at work came up to me telling me how good I looked. I have had total strangers at work comment on hair cuts I've gotten. I had a woman stop me at the grocery store and say "I didn't know you lived around here!" She said she worked in my building. I didn't remember ever seeing her before in my life, but she knew me and where I worked and apparently was in the cafeteria every day when I was. It has made me realize that no matter where I am or what I'm doing at the time, I could run into someone who knows me in another capacity and I may not be happy that they've seen me in a different role.
