I am proud to be an ADPi alumna, but our organization is an "undergraduate women's fraternity" according to the NPC creed, and well, I'm not an undergrad anymore, nor do I want to be thought of as one. If NPC and ADPi decide to make alumnae life a more important component of membership, like the NPHC sororities, then I might regard it differently. But for now, I really don't think I want people second-guessing that I can't "let go" of college because I'm stepping out to the mall in my sorority logo tees.
It goes without saying that we never give our shirts to charity or non-members so that we don't run into non-members "representing" us in our own letters.

It might be because I don't feel good but I actually take offense to your comments and I don't think you intended it that way.
I take offense that because I'm an alumna and I still PROUDLY wear my letters (in fact I wear an ADPi laniard to work everyday) that I can't "let go". I would never see someone wearing their letters as a person who can't "let go".
Also the last time I checked we keep saying that ADPi is for life. According to what your saying, yeah it's for life up until you graduate from college and then poof your letters must be packed up in a box and you are never to wear them. Correct me if I'm wrong, how is that for life then?
Mind you these are my personal opinions. I'm positive others took the comments differently than I did.
