If you really look at the official names, a good number of the women's groups are technically fraternities. It may seem weird, but it's true.
It seems that there are more opportunities for Divine Nine members to stay active with their groups after graduation. Sure, it's possible for NPC/IFC members to do so, but it's less common. The fact that an active member would feel the most comfortable wearing letters makes sense to me, so I think that explains a lot of the difference in attitude.
I don't wear letters in my day to day life unless there's a reason for me to do so. If I were an advisor or if I were going to an event, I'd wear them. I'm certainly proud of Alpha Gamma Delta, but I don't want to seem like I'm trying too hard to hang on to who I was in college, and I'm afraid this is how wearing letters a lot would come off to many people I know. If you are doing something for your group in the present, it makes sense to wear letters a lot, but if you activity for the group is mainly in the past, then your letter wearing probably is too or it's a lot more subtle. (outside of GreekChat, of course).
