I have an Alex and Ani charm bracelet with my letters on it that I wear regularly.

I'm 38 years old, graduated in 2000.

I still have a bunch of letter and event tee shirts but I don't wear them. They are all pretty worn out and may not even fit anymore. I can't bring myself to getting rid of them however. They are all in a plastic storage tote in my closet.

I still have some letters sweatshirts that are in decent shape. I will throw one on to wear to the gym from time to time etc.

I have the Alpha Gam bracelet, I love it! Subtle, but still there :)

CIC, the creator of Alex and Ani was a Greek (Alpha Xi Delta at U Del, IIRC). Before I upgraded to the new iPhone, I had the Lily Pulitzer AXiD case and when I was at my niece's (a Theta at Alabama) wedding, I asked a woman to take a picture with my phone. She then asked where I was an Alpha Xi at. It turns out she was one at Ga. Tech. I made a new friend and met a sister that day. :D I wish they made that case for the new 6.

Hate to nitpick, but it was actually the University of Rhode Island where she was an AXiD (the company's headquartered in RI as well which is how I know this). I do wish Lilly had continued the Lilly line as well, I would love an ADPi iPhone 6 case for my phone.

My mom gave me all her old ADPi shirts, although she could only find a couple. I'm sure the rest are floating around in a storage tub in our basement somewhere. When I was visiting my little brother at the University of Arizona in February the ADPi chapter there was having their Dad's Weekend, and my dad got huffy about he doesn't have a shirt that says ADPi on it. I have to re-outfit both my parents now:p

Woops! My bad. *blushes*

Just this week I have seen a woman (age 45-ish) wearing a light yellow headband earwarmer discreetly embroidered with the Greek letters Delta Phi Epsilon.

Before Easter a husband and wife briskly walked near campus while she wore an olive green sweatshirt sporting a giant KD crest on the back and large Greek letters for Kappa Delta on the front.

Yes!

I wear convention t-shirts, an AOII Foundation arthritis t-shirt as well as a cute t-shirt from our Memphis alum chapter on a pretty regular basis on weekends. I just won a super cute grey sweatshirt with "Exceed the Expectation" boldly printed on the front. I can't wait to add that to my collection. I'm more likely to wear a badge than letters during the week since I dress up everyday. I need to do it more often since I have so many beautiful badges to choose from.

P.S. AOIILisa and Alpha O, I cannot condone the use of pepto pandas!

I usually wear my letters (sweatshirt, t-shirt & hat) when I go to the gym, go hiking and bike riding. You would be amazed how many fellow Greeks wear their letters to the gym.

ZBT:"BROTHERHOOD & BEYOND"

I see this http://projects.universitytees.com/13851.html
and am so tempted to buy, but don't want to look like I'm trying to relive my college days. I know. I know. :p

Would this be wearable at the pool/beach over a bathing suit?

I have 2 apo paddles (necklace size)
2 apo tshirt.
2 line jackets.

I'd wear it more, but I don't get the chance to. So I wear it when I get the chance.

The only thing that is usually ok with dress code is the paddles. And the line jackets are mostly good for the winter otherwise it's just way too hot to wear it.

At 45, I wear letters shirts, event shirts or sweatshirts as often as I want, and if someone wants to think I am trying to "relive my college days," they are welcome to think!!

It's amazing how many AXiDs I meet at conferences, ComiCons, shopping malls, trains in London, airport in Toronto...........

Letters
 

Yep, I'm 61 and wear my letters whenever I can. My husband recently bought a Jaguar convertible and I needed a hat. His car is British Racing Green, my hat is a deep green with Red letters and a Buff stripe.

At 73, every chance I get and then some! I am proud to wear my letters as much as possible! Amazing how many people I meet who ask what they mean or fellow GLO's!

Makes me feel good!!!!

I am not just a part time Alumni!

I don't my wear letters when it comes to t-shirts - I just don't feel "professional" since I moved past that stage of my life, no offense to those do wear theirs. Polos, maybe, but in the end leaning to "no." The closest I'll get to actually wearing my letters if were on a hoodie or sweatshirt, but I'd only wear it for lounging.

I do hold my pledge & member pin with great dearness and would like them to become heirloom pieces for my future children. In saying that, I was thinking buying my fraternity's flag. I graduated five years ago, but the nostalgia has hit me as I reflect on my college years, and I would like to hang it somewhere in my studio if I ever choose to do so.

Wearing a Convention t shirt as I'm waiting in the lounge at the spa for a massage!!!

I need to make it to Convention one day. Where is next year's?

I do not because I still look young enough to be in college, and I've come to really hate being mistaken for a college (and even high school!!) student :(
Maybe in 10 years, I'll start wearing them again! I gave some of them away but kept my favorites :)

chUCK YEAH, you DDD better be wearing your letters. How else will Chuck know to leave you spared when Chuck comes-a-reapin?

Be Still My Heart.

Heeee's heeerrreeeeee.....

Yay :D

I still own and fit into my very first lettered sweatshirt; it was a gift from my Big Brother. I had packed it away for a number of years, but just recently dug it out.

One day, I wore it inside out (because I spilled something on the front), but the letters - though backwards - were still noticeable. I was at Starbucks waiting for my drink and a guy next to me looked over and said my chapter name out loud, and then said "they were total d---s at my school".

Wearing my letters tonight at Chili's - a woman approached me and said she's also an AST and was extremely excited to finally meet a sister on O'ahu! She said in all the years she's been here, she's never (knowingly) seen any of our sisters. She was even more thrilled to find out that we both went to school in Pennsylvania.

You never know when wearing your letters will lead to meeting a sister or brother!

ASTalumna06 The Chili's on Kuhio? I used to live on Oahu and was just there for Thanksgiving.

Hm, is that one still open? I thought there was only one on that part of the island; the one in Kahala (where I was at).

Midwest, I do not take offense to your comment, but I am saddened by it! I was initiated into my sorority almost 21 years ago, and I still wear letters/regalia! For me, Alpha Sigma Tau was not a stage in my life; she is a huge part of my life. I've made sure that I continued with AST as an alumna - it truly IS for life if you want it to be. I am lucky to serve as a chapter advisor, and I am also involved (currently vp) of an alumnae Panhellenic association. These two activities alone give me reason to wear my letters/regalia at events. But I don't exclusively wear them in the circumstances. I wear them because I am proud. Plus there are anchors & yellow roses around my house as daily reminders :)

Last night at the gym there was a woman wearing an AXO sweatshirt. It made me smile. I guessed her to be in her 30s.

You know, I'm not sure. I was assuming it still was. I did eat at Zippy's while I was there, and made a stop at Leonard's.

I just impulsively ordered a new Theta T-shirt for the first time since my college days! :D

Since I went through AI, I chose to wear a lot of my stitched letters and event shirts handed down or purchased online for the first year or so. I still carry my Lilly tote, and recently wore my Lilly SK scarf. I will still wear letters, not as much, and wear my Alex and Ani.

I have my pin on my little lanyard that I use to keep up with my work badge- also goes with my work 5 year pin and my work 10 year pin and my honor society pin. I figure I gotta wear the work badge, might as well dress it up. And I wear my hubby’s LCA ring.

I don't wear letters as much as I used to. As I have gotten older when I do it is typically more subtle with jewelry, a tote or luggage tags etc. Instead of letters across my chest, I have anchors on just about everything I can find them on. And, when I see someone in anchor gear, I always inquire.

Me too! Anchors and nautical things in general are very popular right now. I've got lots of anchor jewelry, and tees that feature an anchor as part of a print.
I don't wear letters, though.

I would wear letters if I had them!



Even as a collegiate, I wasn't exactly covered in sorority gear. I had one AOII sweatshirt and two tshirts, IIRC, which was pretty standard in my chapter at the time. I particularly loved my stitched US/Canada flag letter tshirt from the Emporium, with starry A, maple leaf O, and striped Pi (I SO WISH THEY WOULD BRING THIS STYLE BACK!). I wore everything so much I relegated it to workout wear until the tops were falling off my body. Sadly, I never really had an opportunity to replace them. Sometimes I check out what's available, but nothing ever really catches my fancy or is just too "juniors-y." Does anybody have any advice as far as good places to get high quality, stitched letter tees and sweatshirts?

I still wear letters...but, I'm also President of my alumnae chapter, so I head to a lot of sorority events. We have special t-shirts we wear to community service events. And, a friend of mine had some alumnae chapter t-shirts made that we wear when we are out "representing". :-)

I’m sad to report that this shirt developed two holes along the seams after the first wash :( I’ve avoided wearing it for fear of making them worse. Has anyone else had this issue with Comfort Colors?

I love some of the replies to be sure.

At 76 years young, I still wear my letters proudly! T-Shirts NO! Polo Shirts yes!!:) Sweat shirt for winter!!!;)

Wearing my letters let me meet to Brothers from different chapters, My Eye and Pee Pee Vets. Both take good care of me for that!!

One should never be old to be Proud of who you are!:D

A few months ago, I ordered a t-shirt with my sorority's name and founding date on it (kind of your basic "athletic" t-shirt that's great for when I workout or do yoga). Ordered it from my sorority's website. Wore it maybe three times, and then discovered that a big hole had opened up right along the seam in one armpit. Classy!

I'll check if it's a Comfort Colors. Regardless, I expected a bit better quality for what it cost.

I did purchase another t-shirt on Etsy, a nice heavy cotton with patterned, twill Greek letters. First twill letters I've purchased in 25 years! Gotta say that I love wearing it around the house and it's very good quality. I may even get a long-sleeved one for when the weather turns cooler. :)
