How Often Do You Wear...?

[EXiADPi]

I'm a Delta until May

I wear letters everyday since I live in a cold place in Arizona and they are on my sweatshirt. My wardrobe for warm clothes are letters.

My sweatshirt is dark blue with rubber duckies

I wear my pin for panhellenic meetings, chapter meetings and happy adpi events. I am really sad because my <> sister almost just lost it so she is now banished from wearing it. All that was on her shirt was the Epsilon Xi of the guard. The pin had come unclasped and the chain for the guard was attached to it. I am soooo happy i don't have any dangles as of yet. The pin still inside her sweatshirt. I am taking it out of comission until initiation the last week in October when my 3rd <> gets it. I have had so many problems with my pin since i got it. Some day I will be able to wear it without any worry of it breaking or unclasping.

I'm an alumna


1) I wear my letters almost every single day since I wear t-shirts to work.

2) Hard question- I do like blue & white, and I guess a lot of my dressier clothes are blue.

3) I wear my badge once a month probably- to alumnae association meetings or chapter events, workshops for chapters, etc. As most of you know, I live in ADPi's District 5 which is in "tornado alley" and every time we take our tornado precautions, I make sure I have on my wedding ring (which I'm usually bad about wearing) and my ADPi badge. At those times, I don't worry about "pin attire"- I just make sure it's on as I'm headed to the tornado shelter!

1) I wear letters all the time!! I can't wear them to work, but I wear them when I go shopping, or walking with mom, or on the weekend......quite often actually. And I have a bracelet with my lavelier on it (and I wore it every day, until it broke about a week ago)

2) Since I have to dress up for work, it can be hard to think about wearing our colors sometimes, but I have a items that are blue to wear.....and I wear violet a lot too, even though it's not the same thing, it still reminds me of ADPi

3) I don't think I've worn my pin since I graduated from college, but man, I'm looking for places to wear it!!

1) I don't have stitched letters, but I wear letters on an awesome ADPi shirt "King of the Jungle" that the Eta Psi chapter made up. I also has an alumna t-shirt, but that's mostly for meet-ups. So around once every week or two.

2) I don't usually go out of my way to wear blue and white, at least not in our lighter shade of blue. I'll sometimes wear a white top with dark blue pants, but that usually looks basic and boring to me! I'm more red/purple/blue/khaki/black overall.

3) I usually wear my pin once or twice a year-- Founder's Day activities, and NPC badge day.

1. I wear t-shirts with letters on them approximately once a week (if not more often)....ebay has been a great tool for getting shirts! (since I've lost a bunch of weight!)

2. I wear a lot of blue naturally (since it's my favorite color, along with purple), but I don't go out of my way thinking "oh, I'll wear blue/violet/white today for ADPi!"

3. I am getting to the point I get to wear my pin more often than I have since graduation, but still it's only about 1-3 times a month (depending on the number of meetings I'm scheduled to attend as advisor, and other special events/AA functions)

I'm an Alumna.

1) I used to wear t-shirts from college to sleep in every night, but they don't fit me now that I'm huge and pregnant. (and something is just strange about seeing our letters stretched across a pregnant tummy)

2) I rarely wear our colors because I wear a lot of pinks, reds, and black. Blue doesn't look great on me.

3) I actually can't remember the last time I wore it. I want a ring. Honey, did you have yours made or is it the one you got off of ebay???

I got mine off of ebay. Unfortunately, it's much too small for me (I think it was worn as a pinkie ring), so I need to get it sized. It's going to cost me roughly the same amount to get it sized as it cost in the first place! Also, it's set up and down, instead of side to side (if y'all know what I mean), so I'd like to have that fixed, too. I've seriously considered selling it to a sister and starting all over again - but I really, really do want to have a ring!!

so to give you all a better idea...

yesterday while we were loading the buses to leave for our marching band competition, one of the kids, seeing my sweatshirt, says, "Alpha Delta Pi? Again? Miss P*****, do you own any clothes that DON'T say Alpha Delta Pi?"

Sounds as if you're doing a great job teaching those kids!

FYI, my sixth grade teacher made up learn the Greek alphabet - frontwards AND backwards! On my first day as a New Member of Alpha Delta Pi, they were AMAZED that I already knew the Greek Alphabet!!

How often do you wear ... ?

1) Our letters? All the time. I have so many that I could wear a different shirt everyday for nearly a month. My sisters here say that i won't have any clothes after i leave college. I'll practically have to find a whole new wardrobe. But i will keep the letters that are near and dear to my heart, because my life long membership will never be without sporting my letters with Pride!(hey, i might put it in my will to take them with me to the grave! haha)

2) Our colors? other than when i am wearing letters i where blue a lot. And purple is my favorite color, so i love to pretend that it is our color too (it can pass because of the violets and all... woo hoo!)

3) Your pin? I like to dress up once in a while, so when i have pin attire on I love to wear my pin with pride! But this usually happens once a week.

I work with a Marching Band too, and they say the same thing to me. I have all of the garb, hats, coats, shirts, flip flops, and even the cell phone holder... yeah a little over the top, but i love it! And people notice the letters! I like to let it be known to them that Sorority life isn't about partying like on MTV, we really are a sisterhood that teaches you so much more. The sooner they learn that, the more likely we are to squash the stereotypes.

1) Our letters?
If the shirt I happen to grab has them, I wear 'em. Happens less and less often these days, as my college gear is getting more and more ragged.

2) Our colors?
I have a lot of light blue and white stuff, but never make a point of wearing it together. Blue looks good on me, so I own a lot of it.


3) Your pin?
Not since my last meeting before graduation. To give me some credit, I at least know where it is.

I guess I just don't feel it as much as y'all.

1) I wear some of my old T-Shirts to work out in and I have letters made out of American Flag material that I wear every 4th of July. I gave everything away went I went alum. I wanted all my littles to have most of it. I did keep enough t-shirt to make a blanket that is on the bed in my spare room.

2) Blue is my favorite color so I wear it all the time. In fact I am wearing it today.

3) My pin actually broke not to long before I went alum. The clasp is stuck closed. I haven't had it fixed but I still keep it in a cute little box that my big gave me.

---------------------

1) Everyday! Try to wear my letter shirts once a week and I can't leave the house without wearing my silver ADPi bracelet... it's my favorite!

2) About 5X a week.... you can usually find me sporting some white and azure blue whether it's a skirt/shirt combo, belt or scarf.

3) Only once a week to chapter meetings. It's so pretty, I wish I dressed up more often that way I could wear it more often.

So a week ago today I was in NJ with Leslie. I went with her to the school because the band had to perform at their very last football game of the season. I, of course, was wearing my letters. Now mind you the kids didn't "notice" anything until I got on the bus and then Leslie put a long sleeved t-shirt on that had our letters on it. The kids were like "oh god". It was quite humorous. A few of them actually started asking us what the letters of the Greek alphabet were. So here Leslie and I were standing on the bus and "drawing" out the Greek letters with our hands in the air. Finally Leslie grabbed a peice of paper and drew them.
