How Often Do You Wear...?
 

I saw this on the Pi Beta Phi site, and thought it would be an interesting "poll" for us, also.

Please note if you are an active or an alumna (Alpha, Delta, or Pi).

How often do you wear ... ?

1) Our letters?

2) Our colors?

3) Your pin?

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I'm an Alumna.

1) I usually have on a lavelier at least twice a week.

2) Depends on the season. In the summer, often. In the winter, rarely. (edited to add: Blue is NOT my best color!)

3) Only to Chapter events and meetings, or to Panhellenic events. I'm having mine "personalized", so maybe I'll wear it more often! It's about time I have my ring re-sized, too...!

I'm an Alumna too.

1. Until baby Case starting taking over my body, I wore my letters about once a week. I love my letters. :)

2. Always. Blue is my favorite color. And, what goes better with blue than white....with a few touches of violet.

3. Only for special events and ADPi functions. Much like honey, that is a reserved occassion. But it is always worn with the respect and love that I know it deserves.

I am an Alumna!

1) Our letters? I do not wear my letters out in public really at all-- but my pajamas consist of an ADPi shirt almost on a nightly basis!

2) Our colors?
Just like Sherra my favorite color is blue! So I wear blue alot-- not as much white though!

3) Your pin?
Ditto on what the other two said-- for ADPi/Greek occasions only!

I too an an Alumna.......

1.) ADPi Letters ~ I wear them at least 3-4 times a week. I dont to work cause I dress up, but as soon as I am home, I put on my pj pants or shorts and a ADPi shirt to hang out in.

2.) ADPi Colors ~ For me I love blue too, but I love purple more. Usually Im in an ADPi shirt at home and at work Im more in purple shirts, sometimes blue. Though when I wear jeans I break out blue and white sometimes.

3.) ADPi Pin ~ Special occasions, ADPi functions, big days for my job, a few times for a job interview for good luck.

1) Well I wear my laniard (did I spell that right?) every day at work (I'm a teacher) and it has the letters on it. I wear a oversized ADPi shirt to bed pretty much 3-4 times a week. As for other shirts and stuff, only on the weekends and that is probably about once or twice a month.

2) I am ALWAYS wearing blue and white. I am also a big purple fan (representing the violet).

3) I don't get to wear my pin as often as I would like too. I wear it at most twice a year. Once during desert with Gamma Rho (because we do it on a Monday night during chapter and we meet the new Alphas). Then the second is Founders Day. Honestly, I wish as an alumna we got to wear our pins more often considering how much we all spent on them. Oh yeah, I wore it on March 1st (national pin day).

Re: How Often Do You Wear...?
 

1) All the time when I'm lounging around the house. I will wear them occassionally out to run errands on the weekends.

2) I wear blue quite often.

3) Special occassions, Founders Day, National Pin Day, etc.

also an alum...

1. I wear letters on an almost daily basis these days. I live in my ADPi jacket when it's chilly (and when you leave your house every morning at 6:45, it's chilly almost every day lately). I also always seem to grab an ADPi shirt to put in my bag for marching band practice. Maybe it'll be a good influence on some of my band girls... :)

2. I wear a lot less blue now that my hair is dark again... but I own a lot of it!

3. I wore my pin to both of my job interviews for my current job (it was my good luck charm!), and I wear it to church every now and then. I love my pin, and I refuse to let it sit around and collect dust!

Hey you never know! Like I said before-- two women just joined ADPi at Akron that I coached in cheerleading when they were only 8 and 12 years old!! I like to think I had something to do with it! ;)

the first delta to post...

1) Our letters? Pretty much everyday im either wearing a shirt, carrying a bag, or both.

2) Our colors? everyday, blue is my favorite color, and subseqeuntly the color of 6 or 7 of my earrings. the other 3-4 are diamonds. like my birthstone and our symbol. (yes i have 10 holes in my ears. total, not on both)

3) Your pin? once a week!

Well I too am an alum...

1. I would say between wearing t-shirts on weekends and wearing my lavelier during the week, I wear letters probably for about 3 to 4 days out of the week...

2. I don't wear a whole lot of our colors...Unless you count blue jeans... I do wear some blue shirts, but I don't do it on purpose... I am much more likely to be found wearing black...

3. Well since graduating college I have gotten to wear my pin when helping my old chapter with initiation and that is about it... It is really sad... I am looking forward to having more excuses to wear it again...

I'm inactive this semester but when I'm active---

1. Wear my lavaliere loyally every day. Have the pins on my bag, and wear house letters every week:)

2. Don't wear azure blue too much, probably because I love pink and red. Most of my wardrobe consists of those colors.

3. Once a week for meetings :)

I wear our letters everyday. I have a big laveliere that I wear everyday. I usually wear letter shirts at least 3-4 times a week.

My favorite color is blue, but I don't wear a lot of azure, and it's after Labor Day so the white has been put up for a while.

I rarely wear my pin. The only functions I really get dressed up for are dinners and other "work" related functions. I wish I had more opportunity to wear my pin!

How often do you wear ... ?

1) Our letters?
AS APPROPRIATE WHEN I AM AT AN ADPI EVENT

2) Our colors?
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR AZURE BLUE AND WHITE. SOME OF THE ROOMS IN MY HOME ARE IN SUBTLE ADPI COLORS. AND MY LUGGAGE HAS A SAFETY PIN WITH BLUE AND WHITE RIBBONS TIED TO IT-- BOTH AS A RECOGNITION FOR ME AND AS MY "CLASSY CLASP" AS A REMINDER TO BE AN ADPI LADY.

3) Your pin?
AT SPECIAL ADPI EVENTS AND I OFTEN WILL PIN IT TO THE INSIDE OF MY POCKET WHEN I HAVE A SPECIAL PRESENTATION TO MAKE OR A LIFE EVENT HAPPENING. ADPI IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME, SO I LIKE TO HAVE MY PIN AROUND FOR "GOOD LUCK" AT TIMES SUCH AS THOSE.

How often do you wear ... ?

1) Our letters? Often when I get home from work, I put on an ADPi tshirt and on weekends, when I am not doing anything inparticular, I usually wear a letter shirt

2) Our colors? Blue is one of my favorite colors, especially azure or light blue, so I wear it often. White isn't worn as often, though.

3) Your pin? Only on special occassions. I did wear it to job interviews though!!

Alumna

1) I wear my lavaliere two- three times a week. I gave away most of my letters when I graduated to my diamond, violet and to sisters I was especially close with. I need to get some more.

2) I love the color blue and I wear it a lot. I'm also a toile fanatic. I have a blue and white toile purse I use in the summer.

3) I wear my pin on Founders Day, National pin day, Christmas and ADPi Alum events.

Question: When I got my pin in college I got the "basic" pin. I would like to add some stones around the outside. Do I just take it to any jewler or can I get it done through ADPI? Or should I just try to get one off of Ebay?
