I think the distinction most chapters see would be this:
If one is wearing a tee-shirt with our letters and the letters of other groups on it, there is not necessarily an assumption that that person is a Sinfonian. Rather, the assumption is that the person attended an event sponsored or hosted by the groups listed.
On the other hand, a jersey, sweatshirt, hat, etc., with just our letters implies that the wearer is a brother. Granted, when a female is wearing a lettered lavelier, she would not be taken for a brother, but the point would still be that only a brother should wear the letters in a way that suggests membership in the Fraternity.
ETA: After I posted, I remembered one other consideration. The one official policy we have on the matter deals with probationary members (pledges) and colony members and says that they may not wear the Greek letters
FMA (or the coat-of-arms) prior to initiation. They can wear something that says "Phi Mu Alpha." The same rule (using the English name rather than the Greek letters) might be used for tee-shirts that have the names of multiple groups on them.
