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

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.

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.
