Do any of you alums, active or inactive, wear letters? I live in New England and spend a lot of time in sweatshirts, so I was considering buying one or two letter sweatshirts.

Just wondering what others do.

I am also a Gamma Sig. I graduated about in 2005, but I still wear my letters!

speaking of letters... just a reminder to those NPC women out there that this Monday, March 5th is NPC badge day!
So remember to wear you pin, and see how many other sorority women you meet during the day!

Karla, thanks and is a great idea that is never old

If you are not proud of them, do not wear them, if you are, then do!
Amazing who you may find to be friends!

This week, I found a PKE and a TKE!

I often wear letters.
I like it 'cause I'm old and fat and I carry a gun too. It destroys stereotypes.

I can't help feeling like it's something only undergrads do but I really like wearing mine so I bought a hooded sweatshirt last year (graduated 3 years ago). I don't have my lavaliere anymomre because I gave it to my second little when I graduated but I do wear a crown necklace sometimes and I have a ZTA sticker on my car (just the letters). I'm glad to hear so many other Greeks still wear their letters well after graduation - now I won't feel so bad about it! And my hoodie always feels comfy and warm

12 years later, I still proudly wear my letters.

I personally don't wear the big, 2" - front chest center letters anymore. I do sort of feel that "look" is for collegiates. But I am back on campus again (taking undergrad business classes because I want to go to grad school for accounting) and I opted to buy a tote bag with my sorority letters on it. I love it...I think it looks really cool (just a natural canvas color...with the letters stitched on in satin). I also have a lavaliere keychain with my sorority's letters on it.

As an alumna, I would have no issue wearing the polo shirts, and jogging jackets, baby-t's with my sorority's name and letters on it. I just don't own any. LOL...somehow I don't remember having this HUGE selection of clothing items that Greeks have today! Oh how the internet has changed things!

*Bump* because I bought a new letter sweatshirt today! It's a black hoodie with purple top-letters and white under-letters. With shipping and everything, it was still less than $30! I'm thinking about getting 'Alumna' embroidered beneath them - we'll see!

When I was advising, I bought a lettered shirt (the big letters) with the chapter. I only wear that when doing philanthropic activities with other sisters.

I regularly wear long and short sleeved shirts with the small letters (or embroidered ones). I just bought a shirt with a cute little lion and the words "Alpha Delta Pi Alumna" on it!!

About 10 yrs ago, I bought a sweatshirt with our crest printed on one side, "Property of ADPi" on the reverse. Our giftmart used to sell it. I would love to find another sweatshirt with the crest bc this one has become a bit tattered.

If you go on Greek gear and click on sorority hoodies (on the left side of the page) it will take you to a ton of hoodies...You will see the one with the crests on it....Click on that and it will take you to more hoodies...Once you get there you will notice a sweatshirt with ZBT letters on it-click on browse...it will take you to a few more hoodies but, you will notice the crest hoodie as the first hoodie in the row...if you click on this one-you can now order.....Hope you get what you are looking for!!!!

I still wear letters a lot, my lavaliere every day and I have the window cling on my car. I have a sorority wall in my home office and it has my paddle, certificates and group convention photo. And I even sleep in my letters - it gets cold in Jersey and our Penguin Shop had these great flannel lounge pants with penguins all over and Theta Phi Alpha on the waist band. Very comfy! I like wearing letters when I do errands and such - like Tom said, you can strike up some interesting conversations when you meet fellow Greeks.

I wear one of my sweatshirts constantly that I bought from the actives for an event last year, and I usually sleep in letters.
Both of my necklaces broke, but I wore them a lot before and was complimented on them a lot (one was a nameplate w letters that I designed)
I also have a decal on my car

Since I'm an alumnae initiate, I didn't get to wear letters in college. I wear them now - not obnoxiously, of course - in part because I work at the school where I advise, and I just want to advertise! (Plus, since I was *just* initiated, it's really funny to see the surprise on people's faces when they see me in letters for the first time. :-) )

Cool groovy!

I wear them every chance I get!

Oh, to some on here, it is living in the past, but, I wear them because I am still a proud member of My GLO, LXA!

I still wear my letters! My sweatshirts and tees are some of the most comfortable clothes I own! lol.. I also find myself ordering something when I receive a new issue of my sorority's magazine!
