It depends on the org. and the chapter I'm guessing. For instance, my big sister (sorority) is the TKE 2006 sweetheart and she has a stitched jersey exactly like theirs and she is welcomed to wear any other stitched letters if she wants to.
Another one of my sisters is the 2006 FIJI sweetheart and has the official FIJI jersey as well, but they don't really wear "letters" but FIJI instead and I'm sure I've seen other girls on campus with "FIJI Girl" shirts on so I guess since it's not "officially letters" they don't mind.
I however (even as a long time girlfriend), can not wear stitched letters for TKE, but I am welcome to wear screen printed and iron-on letters if I'd like to (I don't own any though). But I do have a TKE style jersey with MY letters on it because my "big brother" is a TKE and bought it for me.
Some chapters on my campus like Sigma Alpha Mu forbids anyone other than initiates to wear lettters. Pi Kappa Phi allows their Pi Kapp lady to wear them though. I don't think that any other fraternity chapters really have sweethearts on my campus, or if they do it's not a big deal.
AZD here allows thier Xi man an AZD style jersey, but it usually says either a stitched "Xi Man" or just stitched "Xi" on it. But I have seen other chapters give Xi Man an actual stitched jersey.
So like everyone else says: It Depends!
