Well, collectors, in their defense, don't wear the items, usually. That's a separate issue that's been discussed often on Greekchat.
In general, only pledged members of AXD should be wearing our letters, but there are exceptions. Event shirts could be worn by anyone who participated. Babies can wear "An AXD loves me" bib. And of course many fraternity men give their letters to their girlfriends.
If you don't like your sister wearing your letters (I sure wouldn't let mine!) then stop her! I mean, they are your clothes. It's your responsibility to keep them out of non-member hands.
And finally, a badge is very different from any other sorority gear, and your grandmother and aunt as Greeks should both know better, no matter what setting they put it in.
