Letters are not often seen at UMass- worn is another question entirely. You'll see a lot of letters around the School of Management, because most Greeks are students there, but on the rest of campus they're pretty rare- not really unexpected, though, since most people go to campus to go to class, and then immediately retreat to wherever they live. A lot of Greeks were them around the house and on the row. Never in the bars- wouldn't be proper attire.

Personally, I try not to wear them on campus. Greeks are a tiny minority here, and not well liked, and I'm in a college and a department where Greeks are rarer than most other places. I've had people refuse to talk to me because I had letters on- small-minded idiots, but small-minded idiots I need to co-exist with on a daily basis, so I do what's necessary.
I go to Umass and I dont see that at all ... at least with the sororities ... Up in OHill I know of at least 3 sororities that were represented last semester and the Asian sororities and the Band sorority (though not "greek" at Umass) wear letters all the time ...

Though we dont have a special day where peopel wear their letters we do see a lot during recruitment or when a pledge class gets initiated.
I LOVE my letters and I were them as often as I can and I get soooooo excited when I get new ones
