So what if a couple gets lavaliered? Isn't the woman wearing letters?

I've always thought that sweethearts and lavaliered girfriends were the only 2 women who could wear a fraternities' actual stitched letters.

Most fraternities will give their screen printed rush shirts to friends, girlfriends, sorority littles or bigs.

I also see tee shirts at homecomings at numerous schools where tje "partners" (Like a fraternity or two and a sorority) wear shirts that have all of the letters on them.

Are these "rules" selective?

I see one night stands wearing letters for the walk home . . ..

That happened to me one time actually....she kinda just grabbed it and it pissed me off. But ya our sweethearts get a jersey with our letters and then their sorority name stiched on it as well

As a Delt sweetheart at Tulane, I have an official sweetheart necklace the guys bought for me that I love to wear, but I don't wear any DTD articles of clothing. There's no really official chapter policy on it, but I would feel akward with the on-campus culture to wear one, unless it was maybe a sweatshirt that I borrowed while I was out with the brothers at an event or something. Occasionally, they'll have 'sweetheart' shirts printed that they give out to women at parties, etc... but they're very hot commodities on campus, and I've never been offered one - it's more of a recruiting thing. I'm sure if I asked for one, they'd be happy to get me a shirt that actually said 'DTD Sweetheart' or the like, but it's just never been an issue. Only occasionally do I see any other women associated with the chapter wearing letters, either - and again, it's usually only in the context of borrowing a sweatshirt with the intent of returning it shortly, etc. etc.

At tech, the fraternity i am a sweetheart for buys us letters that are specific for rose petals. We get them when we are revealed and we are than allowed to wear any sewn on letters and we also get each of the rush shirts or philanthropy shirts. But girls that are lavaliered are not allowed to wear letters, only the sweethearts. There are other fraternities on campus that dont allow them to wear letters. In most guys eyes, girls can wear letters that any brother gives them except sewn on ones.

That makes the most sense...sweethearts are picked by the chapter, but not lavaliered girls.

Sweethearts wear letters all the time... at least the ones that I've seen. One chapter of LXA gives their sweethearts laveliers w/ the letters.

At my school, not only do sweethearts wear fraternity letters, but big/little sisters of individual fraternity members wear them as well. Only a few fraternities don't give their big/little sisters their letters. DU and Fiji are two that come to mind.

Letters maybe, but Kappa Alpha Theta came to being because our primary founder, Bettie Locke Hamliton refused to wear the Fiji badge (Her Brother's fraternity). Personally, I am glad she refused and started her own fraternity!

I would never give my letters to anyone that was not a brother. Period.
