I am proud to wear my badge often. I have a detachable guard so I can wear it as a lapel pin. I wore letters when I was a regional officer and visiting collegiate chapters, but it seems kind of funny for an overweight middle-aged woman to be wearing sorority letters, so I don't! But when I was fresh out of college, I wore them when I could.

What up Sports Fans?

Hey, I think that people should feel as free as they want to when it comes to wearing their letters, as long as they wear this gear with class. Because ultimately, once we dawn those letters, we represent our organizations, their precepts, and we are the standard bearers for our organizations. Lastly, even when you think no one is looking, someone is always looking. I wear my "greeks" when I'm headed back to the yard for homecoming or what have you, or, I will wear one of my many hats, as often as I like. I have my shingle posted on my office wall, because of my pride, and my ring was passed on to me by one of my uncles. My fraternity, ALPHA PHI ALPHA just celebrated 100 years of distinguished existence, so, my ALPHA Pride is off the chain.
I am also a Mason, and there are certain degrees of modicum that one must follow when it comes to wearing that mighty emblem, but, we all know what fits in each situation.

My roomie and I, both Phi Sigs from the same chapter (I was her membership orientation person...) have a wall between our rooms with all of our paddles and composites and our certificates. We call it the sorority wall!

I'm 34. I wear letters every day. Of course I have no choice (only tat I don't regret

)

My fav wall in my office has:
- My Sigma Nu paddle.
- Certificate of initiation
- Signed wooden badge
- Framed smaller composites from every year EXCEPT my senior year (where the hell did that one go!?)

The back of my white Town and Country minivan features my crest, my letters on the back windshield, a custom-made (about 8" by 12") decal of our new logo and another decal made from the NPC "Speak up for Sororities!" pin (all 26 NPC groups are listed in a circle around the "Speak Up" logo on either side of the liftgate

I have a Gamma Phi license plate frame.

HA Ha, I wear letters more and more often in My Store and it is amazing who I find coming in who are Greeks.

So far:

DDD, STG, KAPsi, AKA, APA, OPsiPhi. PKA, TKE, BTPi, SPi, Sig Ep, LXA, XO and some that I cannot remember and ask if they are still active. Some yes, some no. But needless to say there is a conversation about schools and Greeks that go on!

Their eyes always light up finding a fellow Greek to chat with!
