Unusual sighting- etiquette of it?

I guess I don't understand this thought process because I get pissed when I see someone who is not a member of my organization rocking my letters. Most people that I know feel this way.

I would bet he is a father.

I mean, it's not ideal to have someone else wearing your letters, but I can't think of any etiquette or procedures on it. It's not worth getting into a contentious conversation about it, and in the end it's not a big deal.

Here's my take on it...

If you are not Greek, you do not know what the letters mean anyways and you do not care.

If you are Greek, you know that a man is not a member of an NPC sorority and so you know he is not a member.

If you see a woman wearing letters that belong to an NPC sorority, do you REALLY know she is not a member? She could be.

So in the end it really doesn't matter.

If you aren't greek, you shouldn't be wearing letters that represent a greek organization.

If I see a woman wearing my sorority letters, I usually go over to talk to her anyway and I can usually tell when she's a perp.

I have known of incidents where people have literally snatched letters off of a perp.

You know...the sad thing is you probably don't realize how poorly Greeks are represented by those who "literally snatched letters off of a perp."

To me, my sorority is what it stands for, not the letters that stand for it.

Ok. Yes, I'd be concerned if I saw someone who's not a member wearing my letters. But these were not Scandia's letters that she's talking about.

And honestly even if they are yours, what are you going to do, assault the man and demand that he not wear them anymore? Nothing says devotion to your sorority like jail time.

It doesn't bother me, really. A guy wearing ZTA is obviously NOT trying to perp. And, hell, if he is, more power to him. We must be pretty damn awesome if a man is wanting to walk around in our letters.

I think perhaps we're talking about different lanes here. Correct me if I am wrong, but NPHC and NPC differ in their views of getting all bent out of shape about people in letters that are not theirs.

Some sororities even have a baby wear line. GLO moms can get their kids the appropriate one-sie.

I second this motion.

If it was my sorority, I would talk to them. I have yet to meet a sister (not on GC) who isn't in my chapter. If it wasn't my sorority, then I wouldn't worry or react. They are wearing the letters for one reason or another.

As far as snatching letters... Unless they were hurting the reputation of my sorority, I would not touch them. Even if they were hurting the reputation, I might confront them, but I would not rip anything off. If people are getting our name out and not making us look bad, I am pretty okay about it.

There is no way I am going to embarrass myself or potentially harm someone over letters on a hat that aren't mine. Heck, I'm not even going to harm someone over MY OWN letters. I may say something, but I'm not about to curse at someone, rip something off of them, or hurt them in any way.

Anyone who is going to harm someone else or have the cops called on them over their letters needs to quit drinking the Kool-Aid. I'm sorry, I love my sorority but I can assure you that there are far more important things in life.

I never said that I personally snatch letters. I don't because I don't invade personal space, but I am quick to call someone out when I realize they are a perp. And I have no problem with doing it.
