I expressed some amazement that the shirt was still wearable and admiration that she could still fit in it, noting that I have a few Phi Mu Alpha jerseys (with block stiched letters) in my closet that I certainly can't fit into but wouldn't think of getting rid of.
Quickly, MysticCat Jr. -- a tall 6-year old -- shot his hand up and said he wanted them. (He loves wearing my old shirts). I told him sorry, but I couldn't let him wear these shirts.
"Really? Is that a rule?," Ms. MysticCat asked? I told her that I wasn't sure if it were a rule per se or an unofficial policy or just common practice, but that it would certainly be unusual to let a non-Sinfonian wear the letters. But we both agreed that certainly no one would confuse a 6-year old boy with a fraternity member, and the coolness of wearing the letters might plant a seed with him.
So what would y'all do?

Oh let the kid wear the shirts!
You know it'll effect him once he's of college age!
Anyway, I let my neice (who's 13) wear my letter shirts all the time, she's all about it
The kid knows her Greek alphabet backwards and forwards for goodness sakes, lol
