I'm not an AI but did initiate in to a collegiate chapter as a graduate student. I thought I'd put my two cents in since i initiated in my 30's.
I'm not much of a tshirt person so my tshirts with letters I tend to wear when I'm at Curves working out.
Sweatshirts with letters I wear quite a bit. My lavaliere or my Archon's Key (charm for necklace) I wear quite often too.
There are times when I think, wow what must people think of this 30something (now 37) year old wearing those greek letters. do they think "What is she trying to do, recapture her college days". But then I really start to think why should I feel ashamed for proudly displaying my affiliation, I joined Phi Sigma Sigma for life.
Also, I always see a lot of members of the NPHC who always proudly wear their letters no matter what their age. When our campus president was installed a few years ago, you should have seen all the NPHC women who came dressed to the nines proudly proclaiming their affiliation. I never ask what "does that woman think she's doing". Actually, i usually think there goes another fantastic Greek woman.
I often wonder what makes many NPC members feel like they shouldn't wear letters etc once they graduate and yet the NPHC members often do no matter how old they are. As I tell my sisters, Phi Sig is for life not just four years so remember to always proudly proclaim you are a Phi Sig (not was a Phi Sig).
