Too old to wear letters around?

[honeychile]

Especially when I travel, I make sure I have my letters on my luggage, a pen, or something else that identifies me as an Alpha Delta Pi. I was beginning to think that I should quit, but I've met a lot of other greek alumnae who will notice ADPi and comment on it. Once, while flying, my seatmate grabbed my pen and said, "I had to see what letters you have there - I'm a Phi Mu!"

I signed on to be an ADPi for life, not just for 4 years, not just if I'm at an alumnae event.

Amen! I'm 28 and I still wear letters at least once a week...just because I can. (I work at a company that's VERY laid back - jeans and a T-shirt is the norm...) I love my lavalier, and I still have tote bags that I use. I just finished a season of co-ed softball with my church and I used an AXiD bag to carry my cleats and ball glove in to the field. I'm always hoping to strike up a a conversation with someone. There was a Phi Mu on my team, and the only reason i knew is because she wore a mixer shirt one time to practice.

I'm getting ready to travel to AXiD convention next week. I plan on using one of my tote bags as a carry on... I really dont care if anybody looks at me funny for wearing letters, but I make sure I dont look like I just rolled out of bed if I am going to wear letters....

My computer/messenger bag has my letters on it. Sometimes, when I'm traveling, I wear a letter shirt because I like to be comfortable when traveling. No one has ever stopped me and said something about my letters, or asked me about them, but I think it'll eventually happen!
