I would think that SDT's in particular would want to avoid butt letters... "Mommy, why does that lady have the word 'EAT' on her butt?"

(with apologies to the ladies of SDT)

No Its so true!
Its looks like EAT bum and then, USF's bookstore had thought it was a good idea to order lettered Cheerleading shorts. Well our colors are Old Blue and Cafe Au Lait (Coffee with Milk) well ours were Navy and doo-doo brown, so then it was EAT bum in crap brown

GRRRR. the sisters who wear those shorts!

OK, I looked at the last page of this thread without reading the first three and I'm still giggling.

I don't have any DZ shorts/pants because I just thought one letter on each cheek looked funny, but hey, you all have just given me plenty of more reasons not to get any!

As for the original question, I always felt kinda stupid when I wore a letter shirt and carried my tote bag with the letters on at the same time...whenever I forgot and did that, I would just usually turn the bag around so that the letters faced inward. Being proud is one thing, but looking like an overly-eager pledge (new member, oops) is another.

Yeah, boo to the USF bookstore for getting your colors wrong! I hate hate hate those cheerleading shorts with stitched letters on them. The worst part about them is when girls wear them to play football, and happen to be the center...let's just say sometimes the middle letter gets lost in the buttcrack. Kind of makes you wish you only had 2 letters, but then what? One letter on each cheek?

I can't be the only one that actually likes the pants with the letter on the butt - if I was they would stop making them! My big gave them to me at initiation and I think they're really cute.

I think letters on the butt are cute, but I didn't like them enough to get them.

Grrr! If you can't go the Cafe Au Lait right, they should have done old gold...it looks similar and looks A LOT better! And yes, our letters do look like EAT to non-greeks, I have freinds that used to make fun of me every time I wore letters around them

Kinda reminds me of the Saturday Night live Tri Delta skits. They did some SERIOUS triple lettering!

I remember my first chapter as a new member, they gave us this whole PR presentation on "double lettering." They basically told us that it just *looks* tacky to have your Kappa bag, with a Kappa button, Kappa shirt-shoes-hats, etc. They told us that if we're wearing a Kappa shirt and want to use our tote bag, just flip the letters to the inside. So I'm just used to that whole thing, and now I see how tacky it looks. I remember seeing girls from one specific chapter quadruple-lettering with all the stuff they got on Bid Day... and it just looked so TACKY!

I still wear my lavalier, but I rarely wear it with just a t-shirt anyway... mainly with a shirt that has a nice neckline to show off the lavalier.

Okay, enough talking about this silly stuff... just wanted to share! lol

Yeah, it's all a superstition thing... here though it's called "double greeking"

Its too tacky.

People in the 80's used to double letters and people thought of them as tacky. At times they would wear the jacket, a shirt, a sweatshirt, sweatpants and flip flops. Its a HUGE joke on my campus to be seen in such a mannor.

Personlly I think it is tacky and makes the organization look too cliche.

Conventions, parties, meetings....nuthin' but red/white and DST head to toe! I guess we would all be in "violation".
