Wearing Letters After College

[sigtau305]

I always wear my letters all the time.

I wear my t-shirts/tanks in the summer, sweatshirts in the winter. Always when we go back for alumni weekend!! And you gotta have nice ones for Convention It's really just a matter of preference if you do or don't. I got a great little D Phi E Alumna polo shirt, which I LOVE!

Yes, I wear mine.

I wear mine occasionally. I agree, those big block letter sweatshirts are great in the winter!

Well I'm still in college - just not at a college with my sorority. I wear my letters occasionally - I wear the party/screenprinted shirts to work out or to scrub it at the library, and I'll toss on my stitch letters when I'm cold...but you can definitely still tell I'm a Gamma Phi by my car stickers, keychain, lavalier, tote bag, etc..

I wear mine all the time! (Pitt people - is there anywhere to get letters here?)

I just graduated in June, but I still wear some of the more appropriate t-shirts to work out (fundraising events, some rush t-shirts, etc). I look younger than I am, so I don't think it strikes anyone as weird. I definitely look like I could still be in college.

When I move away and start a career I may retire the old shirts though, or just wear them around the house.

As of now, I've tossed the "Playboy Mansion" mixer t-shirts, though. And the one with the naked leprochaun (sp) I only wear to sleep in.

I don't have any block letter shirts anymore, but I have a Surfing Sisters t-shirt and a couple of long-sleeve function t-shirts that are still in pretty good shape (and I graduated in 1992, ahem) that get some wear...but now that law school is over, I suspect I will get less use out of them.

My daughter wears her embroidered Delta Zeta Legacy t-shirt & shorts all the time though, so we get some mileage out of that....

I am 30 years old and still wear my letters. Just recently, my mom told that I am too old to continue wearing them that I am no longer a teenager (she actually said this to my face). I don't believe her at all. Besides, being in a GLO is for life. I don't care if you are 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or even 100 years old, you are never too old to wear your letters and with pride.

I gave most of my shirts to my little sis when I graduated. I now where letters on occaision but not nearly as much as when I was a collegiate.

I'm rocking the Black and Old Gold of my A-Phi 'till I die!!

I still wear letters all of the time, and when I'm not actually wearing clothes with SK on them. I have my lavalier and SK pin on at all times. Youcan definately tell I'm greek. Oh yeah I forgot I also have my letters tattoed on my foot where people can see them when I wear certain shoes. People at work always ask what is that and I respond their my sorority letters and if I get a dirty look or a snide comment I usually have a good response. Bottom line I let everyone know I'm a sigma kappa.

I think wearing letters after college is something you don't do as much as when you were on campus, but honestly, you don't have the time or money to go buy new gear to keep up with everyone else right?

I think its great when I see an older person in their 40's or 50's sporting letters...I always think they must have work their butt off pledging to get them, and will always show their true pride.

You can get letters at any university that has GLO. Also have you tried Ebay?
