I wear my jewelry with letters on it now (necklace and a bracelet some) but mostly because a)I like them and b)they were all gifts from family members (both Greek family and real family). I don't wear shirts with letters much anymore because of several reasons. The biggest is I am not a t shirt person really, I tend to wear sweaters and kakhis now more then jeans. Also all my college letters are pretty icky anymore so I wear them to sleep in. I so want to buy some nice new letters on a sweatshirt, but this is because when we do alum things I want something nice to wear.

Same here. I wear fraternity jewelry that is understated but has special meaning to me.
I have a pinky ring as well as a few necklaces and braceletes with letters and/or crest/and or crown.
The most special pieces, though.. were given to me as gifts. One is a gorgeous silver charm bracelet that was hand made by the same person who gave it to me. I wear it nearly every day.
It has a silver strawberry, pink ribbon for our philanthropy, silver crown, and a few other charms she included that are also very special to me (judo charm, ship's wheel, my university's mascot, etc).
I also have a lovely five-pointed crown pin someone else gave me.
A group of my non-fraternity friends chipped in to buy me a gorgeous 14k gold and diamond pendent with letters and crest for my birthday.
I do have a few shirts and sweatshirts, but wear them mostly to alumnae pic-nics and scrapbooking events.
