AIs - do you wear letters?

I have a keychain that I'll use, I forgot to mention that! I don't normally wear jewelry, but will definitely make an exception when I can finally wear Tri Delta's beautiful badge.

Since guys dont wear much jewelry, I do have a College Ring with LXA on it, a money clip and key ring.

But maybe for the ladies, how about a polo type shirt with letters?

Not much of a t-shirt person myself, but a polo shirt can still be a bit semi-casual and look good.

I have two polo shirts that are put out by our Graduate, Alumnae and Professional (GAP) Affairs folks. They have the GAP logo on the left chest and they look really nice.

I'm not an AI but did initiate in to a collegiate chapter as a graduate student. I thought I'd put my two cents in since i initiated in my 30's.

I'm not much of a tshirt person so my tshirts with letters I tend to wear when I'm at Curves working out.

Sweatshirts with letters I wear quite a bit. My lavaliere or my Archon's Key (charm for necklace) I wear quite often too.

There are times when I think, wow what must people think of this 30something (now 37) year old wearing those greek letters. do they think "What is she trying to do, recapture her college days". But then I really start to think why should I feel ashamed for proudly displaying my affiliation, I joined Phi Sigma Sigma for life.

Also, I always see a lot of members of the NPHC who always proudly wear their letters no matter what their age. When our campus president was installed a few years ago, you should have seen all the NPHC women who came dressed to the nines proudly proclaiming their affiliation. I never ask what "does that woman think she's doing". Actually, i usually think there goes another fantastic Greek woman.

I often wonder what makes many NPC members feel like they shouldn't wear letters etc once they graduate and yet the NPHC members often do no matter how old they are. As I tell my sisters, Phi Sig is for life not just four years so remember to always proudly proclaim you are a Phi Sig (not was a Phi Sig).

I'm curious, when people say they work out in their letters, do you mean t-shirts from something or other that say your affiliation or are we talking big block letters?

In my chapter wearing your jersey letters to the gym would've been considered disrespectful and would be frowned upon.

I don't work out in my letters. I wear the (big block letter) sweatshirt while walking to and from the gym.

Both for me. I wear tshirts from events or tshirts with the block stiched letters on them. I don't wear my chapter letters, which is a sweatshirt, for workouts.

I have letters on my key chain, a small decal on car window, pins, black letter-bag and jewelry (badge/letters at convention /regional); wear hoodie around the house.
