Alums, do you still wear your letters?

[Dionysus]

This includes car decor, keychains, etc.

[AChiOAlumna]

Sure do! I have many t-shirts that have "AXO Alumna" on it for all the Recruitments I participate in. I also have a set of letters from when I was an active in 1990!

In fact, I was volunteering as a facilitator for AXO this past weekend. I was wearing my letters and a collegiate asked me if I was an alum! LOL It cracked me up!

[ztabchbum]

You can bet your life on it!

I wouldn't let my boyfriend leave the Jeep dealership without putting my ZTA frame where it belongs.

[chideltjen]

I donated most of my T-shirts to the younger actives... so they could have lettered stuff.

I do wear my sweatshirts a lot and when my family members are the recruitment chairs, I'll get a rush shirt for that semester. But that's about it.

I don't have letters on my car or anything, but I do wear my t-shirts and jackets occassionally on the weekends. I'll eventually give them up and have my mom make my t-shirt quilt.

[lifesaver]

I have letters on the back of my truck.

I have tons of t-shirts, but dont wear them all that often.

Have the letter shirts, but only wear them when I am doing something for the undergrads - philanthropy, etc.

[SapphireSphinx9]

i do have the liscense plate frame on the back of my car and a wooden tiki hanging from my rear view mirror... but this car definately doesn't have all the phi sig stuff on it, like my last one did.

as for wearing letters. i wear my lavalier pretty much everyday and that's about it. i hardly wear my shirts or my sweaters...

and no, i haven't given anything to any of the actives... i'm a lil selfish, and so i'd rather buy them something new than to part with something of mine. (haha, at least i can admit it!)

I have a few Alumna shirts that I wear & I still have one car decal on my car but other than that I don't really wear my letters anymore.

[Rudey]

I wear some party tshirts to the gym but my keychain has my letters on it. I just don't want to look like I'm 20 years old and decorate my room with beer cans and wear letters all the time.

[NutBrnHair]

I do wear a windbreaker with a small X & Horshoe embroidered on the left front. It's a tad more subtle.

Trust me, the last thing we need to promote positive PR is me running to the grocery store in a pair of wind shorts and a Chi Omega jersey!

P.S. I'm 43, so no one thinks I'm still a collegian.

[Sister Havana]

Yep! I sleep in one of my APO Little 5 T-shirts, I wear my letter sweatshirt occasionally, I have an APO keychain, and I'll occasionally wear my rescued badge.

[adpiucf]

My letter shirts have been relegated to "around the house" wear and alumnae/chapter events. I don't want to be seen as someone who is 25 and can't let go of college, so I wear my sorority apparel in appropriate settings.

[ZTAngel]

I have a windbreaker that I'll wear occasionally. I also have some old party shirts that I wear to the gym but that's it. Like adpiucf, I don't want people to look at me like an alum who can't let go.

[XOMichelle]

yes! I have a plate frame on my car, and I wear my letter sweatshirt quite a bit. Of course, I am a 2003 graduate, so people still think I'm in college (if that- everyone thinks I'm 16!).

[sageofages]

Yup...lots of letters and wear them when approriate

My car license plates are vanity plates that say "Phi Mu" (a gift from Mr. Sageofages when I bought the car).

Key ring, checkbook cover AND checks, alumna decal in window, and I carry my needlecrafts (crochet, knit, cross stitch, or quilt) in a great pink Phi Mu bag. They are all great conversation starts....

"you are a Phi Mu? Wow...I *was* an XYZ in college" I use it to remind them membership does not stop when you leave college and encourage them to get involved in a fun way with their alum organization.
