You are putting WAY too much thought into this. Wear what you want, in terms of your sorority letters. Very few Americans can actually pass (at first glance) as Europeans, the letters will not be the only thing that would mark you as an American. We have completely different mannerisms, we hold ourselves different and then of course the moment we open our mouths it is glaringly obvious we are from this side of the Atlantic.
Ireland is not Northern Iraq. The people are beyond friendly, and while the guys do tend to be short, there are worse problems in the world. You are probably attending an Irish university where they are more than used to American students. Go have fun, see Ireland and make some Irish friends so you can immerse yourself (perhaps even go home with them for a holiday). Ireland is a gorgeous and amazing place.
The only thing I wouldn't do is geting into the Irish Catholic-Protestant debate.
Have fun, and don't just hang out with Americans. Your chapter will be there when you get back!!!!
