My point is that it's pointless to argue for something if she's not going to wear them in a professional setting/on campus anyway. Getting the entire fraternity into a squabble if all she's going to do is put on a sweatshirt at home just isn't worth the trouble?
I agree. If you're going to make an argument for her to wear letters, you want to make sure she'll actually wear them. Maybe a nice pin (obviously not a badge) or a necklace with your letters.. which is subtle. A rush t-shirt or stitched letters are not going to be worn by someone in their late 20s and beyond unless they're lounging at home or running out to the store.

and irishpipes - some chapters/groups are VERY strict about letting girls wear letters unless it's a fraternity-wide philanthropy like Derby Days.
One chapter on my campus refused to let anyone but brothers wear their letters. Maybe 4 years after I graduated, they finally decided to have a sweetheart, but they still only let her wear the fraternity's name on a shirt, and not their actual letters. They were always shocked that us sororities would make recruitment shirts with all of our letters on them.
