When I graduated college, I decided that unless I was at a sorority event, I didn't need to wear my shirts anymore. I wear them now at the gym or around the house, or have given many away to younger ADPi's. I know a few sisters who have done the same, or made a quilt.
I am proud to be an ADPi alumna, but our organization is an "undergraduate women's fraternity" according to the NPC creed, and well, I'm not an undergrad anymore, nor do I want to be thought of as one. If NPC and ADPi decide to make alumnae life a more important component of membership, like the NPHC sororities, then I might regard it differently. But for now, I really don't think I want people second-guessing that I can't "let go" of college because I'm stepping out to the mall in my sorority logo tees.
It goes without saying that we never give our shirts to charity or non-members so that we don't run into non-members "representing" us in our own letters.
