letters worn by non members

[KissASinfonian]

My chapter is having a problem and although I am not a Sigma Pi I am generally asking random groups their opinion about this problem.

I go to a relatively small school with only about 3000 students in all and only 3 non-ethnic sororities on campus. We have been having a lot of problems with non-members wearing our letters. Mostly freshmen who want to pledge. Most of the time it is something simple like a key chain but these people have no idea what this means to us.

My question is....What can we do about this aside from telling the person outright?

Can we go to Greek-Council or to our Student Affairs chairman? Or should we go to our faculty sponsor? PLEASE HELP US!!!

Thanks a lot

Damn.. sounds like ya'll need to do some PR. Or maybe organizations need to start selling their t-shirts internally (to members only)?
