I just simply believe that when you are done with college and working....it is a little silly to wear greek letters......and I also think it makes you look less mature. You are an adult now, time to dress like one. Same goes for license plates, stickers, key chains, etc. Like I said before, the only think I will probobly have out that people can see would be my certificate of initiation in a nice frame.......hanging next to my undergrad and law school graduation certificates.

Then you better throw out any sweatshirts/t-shirts/caps/etc. with college logos, or better yet, don't wear anything that could be remotely considered "immature". That probably goes for shorts/sandals/t-shirts,etc., even in a casual setting...
...Oh, and no cheering or waving flags for your alma maters at sports events. Wouldn't want anyone to think you were "less mature", since you're supposed to leave that all behind when you graduate...
I say again, it's a matter of opinion, and of differences in the "Greek" culture of various campuses/orgs. For a great number of us, it is OK (and customary) to wear letters (at appropriate times) after graduation. We don't NEED to wear letters (again, we don't wear them all the time), but
we reserve the right to wear them IF and WHEN we choose. And we don't get perceived negatively for it...
