They're back, to some extent.
At an HBCU homecoming a few years ago, there were Sorors singing circle songs with lettered sweaters. It was a line celebrating its 25th Deltaversary with lettered sweaters that they got made for homecoming. It was absolutely beautiful.
I may've even seen younger members doing the ol' school sweater thing. I had one passed down to me by a Soror who crossed in the '50s. I decided to put that in my non-wearable collection, though.
