I do not really see it about maturity, though. I see it as a sense of ownership and that will also depend on campus climate, among other things.
On just about every GLO paraphernalia site that doesn't specialize in NPHC gear only, there are coaches and lettermen jackets for all organizations. Whether or not NPC and IFC members actually wear them on a particular campus is a different story.
But as an undergrad and now as an alum, I wouldn't and don't think anything of seeing an NPC or IFC member wearing a jacket if it only has basics like the letters and a crest. It's not like she was going to create crossing info and so forth for the jacket.
