Lettered Sweatshirt as an Alum?
Hi all!
I am in need of some advice! I am a recent graduate of Indiana University. I am still in Bloomington doing the school thing at another college for nursing, so not at IU. Well, I have ALWAYS wanted a lettered sweatshirt, just like the one at the link below.
For some reason, as a chapter, we never ordered sweatshirts like the one I want...just my letters with a foreground and background color on a regular hooded sweatshirt. I had been tempted to buy one individually at our local greek store, but they were almost $50 for me to do and I could not afford that! Well, I found this website and they have the exact kind of sweatshirt I have wanted and it is relatively cheap at $28 and change.
The question is, now that I have graduated, would I look like a total tool for buying and wearing this sweatshirt? I see some of my sisters randomly throughout town, but my two jobs and my school don't have anyone that is greek. I'm just wondering what other people like at IU or my sisters would think if they saw me in that sweatshirt, even though I graduated. Does this situation make sense?! I want the sweatshirt more than anything right now, but I don't want people to think that I am stuck in my undergrad days as a "sorority girl!" If I did get it, since I want it so much, I would probably wear it for several years. Is that like taboo?
What do you all think I should do?! Sorry if this seems pety, but I just don't know what to do! Thanks!

I still wear my lettered sweatshirts and T-shirts and at this age, I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks about dorkiness! I doubt they think anything since so many NPHC alums in town wear their letters.
I never say I "was" a Pi Phi. I AM a Pi Phi.

When I go alum, I will definitely be wearing my letters often...  So I don't think it's wierd that you want a lettered hoodie

I'm hoping to be an AI soon, and when I do, I am going to have lettered everything!! I'll be so proud to wear them. I don't care what anyone else thinks, and I'm right on up there in age.

My other half is over 30 and he still wears his letter sweatshirt. (And occasionally he lets me borrow it too -- I'm 35 this month.)
He wears his letters 'cause he's proud of 'em and anyone who thinks that's "foolish" can take a hike!

Wear it! Wear it loud, wear it proud! Heck, I still wear my letters and am considering purchase of a new letter sweatshirt. Just the thing for those cold morning soccer games!

Thank you all very much! I was hoping that you all would have positive thoughts about the sweatshirt! I am VERY proud to be an AOII but I was just wondering if at some point I would be too old to wear a lettered sweatshirt. I am going to order it this afternoon! Thanks again!

Treat yourself to the sweatshirt! You're still an AOII; you always will be so wear your letters with pride
I have several letter items I've bought within the last five years and I wear them fairly often. I can finally afford all the cool stuff I wasn't able to buy in college so why not, right?
