Wearing letters

[onehundone]

I wear my letters a lot still. I believe that they are mine and i wear them with pride. I also get stopped sometimes and its fun to strike up a random conversation especailly to find out its a sister. Wear on, and if they are tattered might I suggest you order a new one from your sorority.

Is it o.k. to wear greek letters to work?
Our business is business casual, but some co-workers wear their greek letters almost every day if not every day. I have a problem with that dress code.

That depends on where you work.

Agreed - and also on how they're wearing them. Lavalieres? Embroidered polos? Party tees? Hoodies? Is it a Greek Life office?

[breejayden]

POLOS, T-SHIRTS, JACKETS, HATS, CAPS, SOMETIMES DOUBLE LETTERS OR COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN THE GEAR.

It is a professional establishment, we are allowed to wear jeans on fridays just to give you an idea. We work with the community and sometimes they don't know any better and think that greek organizations are like "animal house", so it sends a negative message.

If their dress is inappropriate HR would likely have the first say. If your coworkers are representing themselves professionally in the community and HR doesn't have a problem with what they are wearing I would let it go. Many people have negative opinions for all kinds of stereotypes, I'm not sure it's a good idea to go down the path of trying to anticipate all of them. For example, I might encounter a man who thinks a woman has no place in the work force. Perhaps I should stay at home lest it send a negative message about my employer.

Are you worried about your company or about yourself?

IT IS NOT A GREEK LIFE OFFICE.

I just graduated and I of course continue to wear my Tri Delta letters and t-shirts. I have lots of little items like keychain, headband, bracelets, necklaces that I like to wear around.

LOVE my new AXO flip flops....wear my silver engraved bracelet lots and lots....in the dead of winter, wear my sweatshirt with Vera Bradley fabric letters with my sweats to the Y.....this from an O-L-D alum---class of '82! Oh, and I have my letters and crest in my car's back window....me on the driver side, my husband's letters and crest on the right - a little emblem for my oldest tucked in there, too! That's why I'm...

I'm still a sister!

I'm thinking Pike . . .

[Psi U MC Vito]

It was Pike. The greek system at my school is really small, so I wasn't aware of their colors. And it happens that Garnet and Gold are also Psi u's colors. Now I will be leaving this thread to the alumni.
