I wear event/rush/bid day t-shirts to work out in, and I have a VERY beat up AEPhi sleep shirt that I wear a lot. My favorite letters (also my first - big fuzzy black sweatshirt with floral print letters) come in very handy on chilly winter mornings! :)

I don't wear my letters to work, because I don't think it's appropriate to wear t-shirts or sweatshirts in a corporate environment. If I had a lavalier I'd probably wear it (I somehow never got around to acquiring one).

I was thinking the same thing. You probably wouldn't wear letters to work because it isn't appropriate...especially working in a corporate environment.

But for everyday wear, why not?! Sport those letters while going to the grocery store, or sitting in the garden, or picking the kids up from school, etc, etc.

I wear letters all the time. I've retired my jersey though, I wore that almost every day in college. I wear my lavilear every day and I got my letters on my college ring too. I also have a ring with dolphins on it. And I wear my badge on special occasions (Founders Day, Pansy brunch, etc).

I wear mine! My current fav is a yellow polo shirt with the AGD red yellow green greek letters. They aren't that noticeable unless you are pretty close, lol. Wore it one night to the local pizza place and ran into hubby's co-worker whom I've know for about 4 years..turns out he was an AGD big bro (his now wife wasn't an AGD, lol.)

You better beleive it!!!!! Hat on weekend and going to Sports things!!!!


Polo Shirt when I can!:)

After 38 years and am still PROUD!:cool:

Arent You????:(

If Not Why?:confused:

i definately wear my letters a lot. in the first 5 years after graduation, i worked at a job were i wore jeans and t-shirts EVERY day, so my event shirts got lots of milage. i have 4 letter shirts/ sweatshirts, but the tshirts are ruined...and the sweatshirts i wear a lot in the winter. i have been wearing my event shirts all summer while working at the pool...and one of the guys asked if i owned a shirt that *didn't* say phi mu! lol. i also have a phi mu travel coffee mug and now a great new bag to use so that everyone who didn't know i was a phi mu at work, would know now!

Most of my letters aren't in the best condition, so I'll wear them to the gym, or going jogging. My best letters, I gave to my little sisters. I may not wear shirts with my letters, but I have a lavaliere I wear a lot, a keychain, and my workout bag.

It's not that I'm not proud; I am, and plan to be very active as an alumna. But I've just grown out of wearing any logos emblazoned across my chest--that also goes for my college.

I totally agree! When I'm 80 I'll still be wearing my letters. I may be crusty by then but I'll still be as hardcore about my sorority as I am now.

You're not rude at all. I didn't become greek till last year. I'm not in school. So you better believe I'm going to sporting the Carolina Blue and Lavender with pirde:D

I don't have many shirts and things. I'm hoping to make up for that at Convention:D I do wear my lavaliere everyday

I graduated over a year ago and I still wear my letters with pride (I'm also still in school at another college right now). Like many others have said, being Greek is for life, so I don't understand why you WOULDN'T wear your letters after college whenever you could! Liek we heard in college, letters are advertisement for our organization, and we want to show everyone how proud we are to be a member of that organization. I can't wait to have children who will hopefully see the benefits of being in a Greek organization for themselves...they'll definitely see their mom sporting her letters! :)

That's not always the case. You can't find greek letters at my current school, nor could you buy them at my undergraduate institution.

Since I only became a Phi a few months ago I only have one Alpha Phi shirt, and I only wear it to the gym. It's getting pretty skanky though. :p But I also kind of feel like I'm getting a little old to wear any shirts with collegiate/greek logos on them - and that includes my beloved red hooded sweatshirt.

I promote my affiliation in different ways. I have an Alpha Phi magnet on my locker, I write with an Alpha Phi pen, I drink from an Alpha Phi tumbler when I'm in class, and my security badge for my building is attached to an A Phi lanyard. I'm hoping to buy some subtle A Phi jewelry some day, and I'm always trying to create an occasion where I can wear my badge.

That polo sounds really cute! I'd definitely like a polo with my letters on it, where'd you get yours?

I still wear all of my shirts from college, and my collection is still growing because the collegiate chapter that I help advise now also makes a point to get me shirts from their bid days, formals, etc. I'm proud to wear them and the girls love to see my "older" shirts that they've never seen before. To them, it's cool. :D
