Wearing Letters After College

[MeLikey]

When I was in NYC today, I was walking behind this guy who had on some old looking black t-shirt. I didn't even realize it until my friend nudged me and pointed to the top of his shirt-- it had Phi Delta Theta letters... I didn't get a chance to read what the rest of the shirt had on it... looked like some kind of rush or formal shirt by the fun shape of the letters. He was probably in his late 20s, early 30s. I was just wondering if anyone still wears their t-shirts... whether they be billboards, rush, p.r., or formal/dated party t-shirts... and is it appropriate? I haven't looked into an alum chapter yet, so I don't know if they have t-shirts with letters.

I wear some of the "function" shirts whenever i go biking or work out.

You know what? I worked hard for my letters and I will wear them now that I am out of college and until I feel like it. I really don't care if it's appropriate to wear them since I'm not in school anymore. I am a member of my local alum chapter. I contribute to my organization's fundraising events. I am an advisor for an undergraduate chapter. And I am an active alum of the chapter I graduated from. I think every greek should wear their letters proud until the day they die. You should be happy to show others of your achievements and activities. I consider wearing your letters a "tribute" to your organization. And it's great PR for those who will eventually attend college. We have a saying, "Once a Phi Sigma Sigma, Always a Phi Sigma Sigma." This statement will always hold true in my mind.


(sorry to sound rude...this question hits a touchy spot with me)

Don't get me wrong, I love wearing my letters everywhere even if I'm just out of college... I wish I had even more t-shirts. I even wanted to order the new recruitment shirt... just wasn't sure if it's a common thing... I'd love to even wear a Delta Gamma Mom shirt (if they make them) or whatever house my future daughter chooses! I'm one of those girls who loves wearing her Delta Gamma letters/t-shirts and Greek shirts.

Well, my future son has to know what the letters of the fraternity he's going to join when he goes to college look like...so, I'm at least gonna wear my letters around the house.

A few Phi Delt bros and I were at Disneyland and we spotted a father wearing an old Phi Delt promo shirt. We didn't want to bother him since he was with his family but we made it clear to him of our presence since most of the group was wearing letters.

I would wear BOTH my letters well after college. KKPsi till I die and Proud to be a Phi!

I wear my letters all the time!

I wear my letters all the time too. Once in a while it'll get "cold" and I'll wear the standard letters sweatshirt.. But I have tons of t-shirts and baby tees and other stuff that I still sport around. I love it when I'm at a place like the mall and someone stops me and says, "I'm Greek too! I'm an XYZ from the University of ABC..." You don't run into a lot of Greeks in Hawaii.

Then there's the car...gotta love that AGD license plate holder.

I still wear my Convention and LI tees, because I just haven't picked up anything else in recent years. That reminds me, I should really order a stitched sweatshirt for the cold weather.

Besides, why not wear my letters, even though I'm an ancient alumna? My guys need to know which girls to marry when they grow up

I wear my letters and I graduated in 99!

i wear mine all the time.. although it's mostly tshirts that i wear to the gym or the grocery store or something like that. i also have a windbreaker that i wear a lot. i passed down all my sweatshirts though and keep thinking i need to get another one. speaking of which, for anyone that is from boston or goes to bu, is there a greek store on campus?

[KSigkid]

I wear letters every great once in a while - mostly to the gym or when I'm kinda hanging around. Since I work at a preschool, I wear them to work once in a while, just because if they get paint or something on them it's not a huge deal.

mu agd - there's no greek store on campus, there used to be one kind of near campus a few years ago, but it's closed now.

are you kidding me?

letters totally separate the elite from the obselete. . .

basically saying 'i'm Greek and g-d proud of it too, baby!!!!'

[LeslieAGD]

I wear my function/screenprinted shirts constantly.
However, I don't wear my block letters much.

[sigmagrrl]

All of my letters are old and ripped. I plan on getting a couple of new sets at Convention next year...

Anyone in the DC/MD/NoVA area know of a place I can get some made???
