I wear crest and letter jewelry all the time... rings, bracelets etc. I have a white gold and pearl dagger pin with AOT down the side that I also wear frequently.
I wear one of my vintage badges to work at least once a week and wear a badge to church frequently. Because of the dagger symbol at the top of the pin, (and because I work in a church environment) I am often asked if it is a religious badge or award because at a quick glance, the dagger can look like a cross. When I say it is my sorority pin, people typically say, "ooo it's beautiful, what sorority?". I have never had a negative reaction, and have met a couple of sisters because of it, who always say, "I should wear mine sometime!"
I would love to see more alumni wearing their badges, especially now since rules are relaxed in many groups and the pin can be worn on a lapel, as a ring or necklace. I suspect the main barrier is the fact that many people work in a very relaxed environment and aren't "dressed to pin" most days.
