And more casual dress standards all around equates to fewer opportunities to wear it. It’s a shame.
What Would Our Founders Say to THAT Noise? Is that a new NPC mandate?

And where, other than during rituals, would it NOT be considered hazing for women to wear their new member pins?

Are some women refusing to wear sorority pins/badges because they are ashamed of what others perceive the NPC and/or their sorority represent?

This year, for the first time in about seven years, I observed NO women and NO students wearing their NPC Badges during Badge Day last week.
