Back in the dark ages of the 80's, I wore the letters of the fraternity where I was a little sister as often as I wore my own (but I think it was because I really liked the sweatshirt--you know how some sweatshirts just feel better than others--and my boyfriend, now husband was also in that house). We all had them, and we all wore them and it was no big deal. I believe that the only thing that an uninitiated member couldn't wear was the crest, and we couldn't have it on our little sister paddles either.
In my sorority, we weren't supposed to wear the letters until after initiation, so all of our pledge shirts had the words written out, and our first gift after initiation was usually something with the letters and crest.
This was 20 years ago, no clue what they do now--I don't think little sisters even exist anymore, do they?
We still have a bunch of old party tshirts with different greek letters on them, and we've let our kids wear them for 80's day, etc. for homecoming week. And I've seen the XYZ mom/dad stuff, but I really wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them at all....my daughter's campus doesn't have my house, so she is something else. I would wear my own letters before I would wear that, and so would my husband.
