do any alumni wear letters?

I just impulsively ordered a new Theta T-shirt for the first time since my college days!

I don't wear letters as much as I used to. As I have gotten older when I do it is typically more subtle with jewelry, a tote or luggage tags etc. Instead of letters across my chest, I have anchors on just about everything I can find them on. And, when I see someone in anchor gear, I always inquire.

Me too! Anchors and nautical things in general are very popular right now. I've got lots of anchor jewelry, and tees that feature an anchor as part of a print.
I don't wear letters, though.

I don't wear my letters and have not worn them for decades, but I'll wear something with a small anchor now and then. My new pajamas from Nautica have tiny anchors on them.

I’m sad to report that this shirt developed two holes along the seams after the first wash I’ve avoided wearing it for fear of making them worse. Has anyone else had this issue with Comfort Colors?

I love some of the replies to be sure.

At 76 years young, I still wear my letters proudly! T-Shirts NO! Polo Shirts yes!! Sweat shirt for winter!!!

Wearing my letters let me meet to Brothers from different chapters, My Eye and Pee Pee Vets. Both take good care of me for that!!

One should never be old to be Proud of who you are!

A few months ago, I ordered a t-shirt with my sorority's name and founding date on it (kind of your basic "athletic" t-shirt that's great for when I workout or do yoga). Ordered it from my sorority's website. Wore it maybe three times, and then discovered that a big hole had opened up right along the seam in one armpit. Classy!

I'll check if it's a Comfort Colors. Regardless, I expected a bit better quality for what it cost.

I did purchase another t-shirt on Etsy, a nice heavy cotton with patterned, twill Greek letters. First twill letters I've purchased in 25 years! Gotta say that I love wearing it around the house and it's very good quality. I may even get a long-sleeved one for when the weather turns cooler.
