Wear it! I still wear letters all the time and I'm an alumna. I think it's great to see alums wearing letters - it really shows your affiliation is for life!

Well, I think it's cute...so get it!  It's only $28? Man, I may have to point my family in that direction since my birthday and Christmas are coming up!
I'm an alum (albeit a recent one), but I still wear my letters all the time. In fact, I just made three new letter shirts in the past couple months. So if you look dumb wearing yours, at least we'll look dumb together.

Same here... I actually got most of my DO stuff since being out of school... it's too expensive when you're an undergrad. Wear it with pride!

The first thing I bought when I got my AI bid for DG was a navy blue letter sweatshirt with double letters (plaid on white). I wear it a lot! I'll admit I get a few looks bec this isn't a college town (or even close to one) but I like it!

if your concerned about it....
I've seen several of our alumni take their nicer items back and have them embroider (sp?) Alumna (Alumni, Alum...whatever you want) through the letters. Its looks really nice if you get a pretty font.

Oooh! I might do that. Being in grad school and all, I don't want to be mistaken as a 19 year old. 
Now that I'm alum, I tend to wear my jewelry more than actual letters. I actually ended up giving most of my letters to my littles. I do wear some to work out.

Interesting "dilemma."
Why is there such a distinction made b/w "collegiates" and alumn??
Once an "XYZ," always an "XYZ," right?
LOL....

The difference is not in membership, but the form of expression one takes when graduating from collegiate to alum.
This is one of the many differences between the NPC and NPHC that I should hope we can all accept and respect.

LOL...Munchkin, once when I was a twenty-five-year-old law school student, I was mistaken for a college freshman, and it was the highlight of my week! I still thank the girl who made that mistake every time I see her.

Get the sweatshirt! I am WELL past my collegiate years and just got involved with the alumnae chapter. I just bought a sweatshirt and t-shirt (new) off of EBay. Just do a search for "alpha omicron pi". I paid $20 bucks for both plus $10 in shipping and handling.
You might check out the AOII emporium as well. I think the price you were given from the link you posted is a little high.
I think it's time we alums wore our letters. Let's start a trend. Maybe the third Saturday in October should be declared National Greek Letters Day for alums and collegiates alike!
