Had to share a story concerning giving the younger siblings a set of your letters--
When I was a sophomore, a senior member of XYZ had a freshman sister. The sister walked into the cafeteria wearing a set of XYZ letters. The XYZs who were in the cafeteria went BALLISTIC. They started shouting at her and asking her who she was, thinking that she could wear those letters. One of the XYZs actually followed her out of the cafe. It was quite the campus scandal for a while (what can I say, it's a small school), and she never wore that shirt again. When rush came around, the freshman did not appear on XYZ's invite list to second party.
That story has always been in the back of my mind when I see younger siblings wearing letters. Even though I've bought my Goddaughter a ton of "A Chi Omega loves me" onesies and tshirts, that will stop when she gets older. I definitely would not buy a set of letters (although I'll be first in line if and when she joins a sorority, especially if it is Chi-O!).
