When I graduated college, I decided that unless I was at a sorority event, I didn't need to wear my shirts anymore. I wear them now at the gym or around the house, or have given many away to younger ADPi's. I know a few sisters who have done the same, or made a quilt.

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.

Well, I agree with ASUADPI. (edited because it sounded mean I don't know what kind of mood I was in, sorry)

I believe it is the responsibility of ADPi alumnae to be a great representation of Alpha Delta Pi. Obviously ADPi makes alumnae life important. There are alpha members, delta members, and pi members, all of which are necessary for a strong sisterhood. And, there are strong ADPi alumnae organizations all over the place.

Delta members cant wear their letters during recruitment so if you live in a college town with ADPi (or are in an area where girls might go through recruitment) then I think you should wear your letters and not care about "people second-guessing that you can't let go". Actually, I want my collegiate sisters to know that I won't let go just because I have graduated.

And, if it makes you feel any better, buy an ADPi alumnae shirt, so people won't think you are still in college. I did, its cute and I wear it when I can.
