do any alumni wear letters?

I have a ring with our Crest on it, and a t shirt from our Centennial Celebration back in 2002, but that's about it. I always mean to order a "DZ Alumna" sweatshirt but keep forgetting about it.

If we were allowed, I would love to have my Badge made into a pendant. I'd likely wear it much more often than I do.

In the NPHC, alumnae/alumni wear symbols/letters anywhere the organization's protocol doesn't prohibit. The key is understanding that symbols/letters include but are not limited to 'nalia tshirts. If it can be done in a grown folks style, NPHCers do it until the dayyyyyyy weeeeeee dieeeeeeeee.

ETA: I am not saying that there are no variations within councils and conferences; or that the NPHC is the only council or conference in which members tend to wear symbols/letters as alumnae/alumni.

At bolded blue, yes, yes, yes.

When I have the funds, I will purchase a ring with our shield.

Which is exactly why I will always have on something with letters when I travel. I've met several greeks this way including my own sorors.
As for everyday wear, I have a baseball hat that has seen better days but I love it.

Alum, beautiful t-shirt quilt. I'm learning to quilt, and I hope that I can put one together myself.

I do wear a lot of anchor things, especially t-shirts and jewelry...letters, less often. I'm a relatively young alumna, and I might be mistaken for an NCState or Duke collegian if I wore them . I like stitched-letter shirts, and I wish it was more commonplace for NPC women to wear letters after graduation so that I could rock some new custom letters!

Here is a link to t shirt quilt instructions:http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...3&postcount=12 Right now there is a very cute pink and blue anchor motif flannel that is being sold at JoAnn's that would be great for the back of a DG quilt.
