Drinking in letters
I know for Alpha Xi, we CANNOT drink in our letters. What about other GLOs? I have seen others in letters drink but i was wondering if their were rules against this from other nationals.

I know that KD's aren't ever allowed to drink in their letters, and on my campus neither do the Tri Delts, Kappas, Thetas, or Chi-o's. The only sorority that does is Theta Phi Alpha and my friend that is a Theta Phi told me that they have no national rule against it. Hope that helps...

We tried to be cognizant about it and refrain if we had our letters on. Inevitably, someone would forget to take off their lavalier or carry a mug with our letters on it to the bar and forget to tape over the letters, but for the most part we didn't. Though I think there were some girls who took delight in drinking in letters. Pretty much, though, you knew everyone at the bars or parties and which house they were from, whether they had their letters on or not.

Add Alpha Delta Pi to the list.
Drinking while wearing letters is one of the faster ways to a Standards hearing!

ADPi's (at least in my chapter this is what we were told) are not supposed to drink in their letters....but there are times people do forget they're wearing their letters, so we try to remind them when we see this happening

I don't know if Alpha Chi Omega HAS a specific rule against drinking in letters, but I know I never would. The stereotype as Greeks as problem drinkers is bad enough without my adding to it by drinking in letters in public.

My freshman year many people drank while wearing letters. Within a few years the campus stopped doing it. It was a matter of risk management and the greek stereotype. My senior year we had Greek Olympics with t-shirts designed by the President of IGC. The genius had a cartoon character wearing letters drinking a beer. What a douffus!

NO drinking in letters for Phi Sigs either... sometimes it's hard to remember your jewelry.... but yeah it's definitely a way to be called to Judicial Board ....

Members of my chapter of Alpha Phi Omega aren't allowed to drink in letters...we're not even supposed to be in a bar with letters on. I'm not sure if that's a national rule or not...I would suspect not, since I know some brothers in other chapters who drink with letters on. But I could be wrong.

Nope for DGs as well. Although I will say that forgetting jewelry is common. I know that I tried not to have my lavalier on in the bars (but since I wore it every day it was hard!)...but if I did, I either tucked it in my shirt, put it in a pocket/purse if that was an option, or if not, just didn't make a big deal about it--usually if you don't make a deal about having them on you don't call attention to the fact that you do.

I think it's safe to say most, if not all, NPC sororities are not allowed to drink in their letters.
My chapter of Alpha Phi also does not allow smoking cigarettes or swearing.
