Fraternity Letters on Females and Sweethearts wearing letters?.

(Not trying to blow off the question -- I just knew that it had been discussed in these threads not too long ago.)

Furthermore, yeah I know that at least in my chapter, they get tree'd... I had to clean up the mess from it when I was pledging.

I agree if anyone who is greek has any respect for our values and beliefs and what is left of us you would NOT pin, drop, letter, or whatever a GDI. And for those that believe GDI's could understand, they have no idea, they will never understand, and it can never be explained. Until you earn them you do not under any circumstance deserve to wear them.

and on a last note GDI God Damn Independent is a perfect phrase. and those that are GDI's should plan on being referred to in that term especially if you are around Greeks, if you don't like it maybe you should hang out with other GDI's or go greek yourself.

I was wondering the exact same thing.

I noticed an influx of new posters with Fratty-like posts recently.

I was thinking the same thing. $5 says she (or a 'he' who's posing) doesn't answer.

Isn't there always an increase of "Fratty-like posts" during the holiday break? Often of the hit and run variety?

Don't even get me started on that again!

Wow I never heard of anything like that before. In my Fraternity Psi U, we do have what we call our sweetheart pin which is given to those who is close ot us. It depends though. I know my chapter in particular is very strict against nonbrothers wearing leters, even sweethearts.

IOn looking at this post, I wonder how you were so sure about the above statement and seeing how old this post is when it started?

OP is long gone!

DAH!

[LucyKKG]

Yeah, I wouldn't wear my bf's letters (on a sweatshirt) if he did drop me. Event shirts are different, IMO. They just have a different connotation than block letters.

A lavalier though...heheh...you can find my other post about that, if you really want.

My boyfriend is joining a fraternity this fall and I am kind of nervous as to how they will treat me being his girlfriend, we've been dating for over a year now, I just want to make sure I am prepared for what is to come. BTW he is joining Pi Kappa Phi! Also, I am not part of a sorioty at his school or any where to be a matter of fact, im a senior in high school.

Thank you!

[samtay92]

I am not jumping ahead, it must have typed this in a confusing way, i am just wondering how fraterinites treat their brothers girlfriends, im not worried about "dropping" or anything. When i said "i just wajt to make sure I am prepared for what is to come" I didn't that he is going to be "dropping" letters.

[samtay92]

Its okay, after reading it, I completely understand where there was some confusion :]
