wearing your letters on your rear?

[tunatartare]

I say those are definitely a no-no. I feel like it shows disrespect to your organization and the letters if you do it, but whatever, to each her own. What bothers me even more than pants or shorts with letters on the butt is thongs that have letters on the frontal area. Joe Toga even makes "sorority granny panties."

the color of the fabric of the greek letters has to be a. gold by itself but then the gold must touch white. so the shirt has to be white. you cant get gold only letters on a khaki shirt or any other colored shirt.
now if you get the iron on greek letters, or the stitched on ones, you can get gold and white together, (at least at our greek store you can). usually we get the gold fabric with white stitching and then you can put that on whatever shirt / jacket etc color you want.
does that make sense?
here are some examples...
blue shirt with letters, white shirt with letters, black shirt with letters

I get it....thank you!

Possibly in private. Alternatively [speaking as an adviser], I'd say something to the chapter officers and make it something the chapter votes on whether or not it's acceptable.

I think it is a no-no. Ditto with GLO tissues.

Those aren't really big here, but I wouldn't wear them if they were. I think it's tacky. Same with tissues and toilet paper, you wipe your nose/butt with your letters? No.

Regardless of whether or not its ok / disrespectful.....i wouldnt do it because I wouldnt want more attention drawn to my big butt!!!

I think they are very disrespectul, enough for me to lose my position over. My chapter had bought sweatpants with the letters on the butt, which I chose not to get. Well then we had more new members come in, and they really wanted these pants. The only problem was that I was the purchasing person for that year and I refused to order them. I told everyone where they could get them but I would not be the one placing the order. It got to be so bad that I finally just stepped down from the position, cause I refused to by stuff that was disrespectful to our letters.

What about the flip-flops that imprint your letters when you walk? Doesn't that mean that you and others are walking on your letters? Our chapter used to forbid writing letters in wet cement - never mind that it's tacky and vandalism-like, but we didn't want people stepping on our letters.

There is absolutely no reason for a brother to be wearing letters on his butt. This is something chicks do.

I wouldn't do it. I saw someone wear letters on her butt, and it didn't look respectful or flattering. I saw someone wear letters down her leg on the thigh. That looked okay. I remember someone said that she thought it looked ridiculous, and everyone agreed.

Never say never. I saw a guy with his letters on his tongue ring...

As long as there is demand, manfacturers will make these things.

Meanwhile, to those individuals who are against them, hold fast to your principles and lead by example.

ETA: I actually worked with a chapter in SoCal that put an addendum into the bylaws specifying what was letter-appropriate and what was not. "Butt Letters" were outlawed.

So does that mean that everything his tongue comes into contact to is done in the spirit of his letters? Hmm...
Back on topic, no, no, no, and no. No stitch letters on the behind. Imagine organizations with 3 characters, and having the middle character split by, well, the crack. Not an appealing idea whatsoever.

I had a pair of shorts with my letters across the back- I wore them on spring break while i was a collegian and at the lake with my family- with bathing suits. i always got complimented on them and my sisters got some too- i gave them to my friend that was an active because they dont look the same on me anymore (i grew an ass).
I guess I am just disrespectful, but honestly I dont see the problem.
ive seen letters in way worse places-
my pet peeve are people that drink alcohol in letters- have some freaking respect- nothing uglier than a drunk fraternity or sorority person with letters making an ass of themselves.

[Jill1228]

Down the side of the leg? Yeah, I am cool with that
But on the butt or the "kitty" (ie lettered thongs) HELL NO!

Sorry ya don't sit or fart on your letters!
