Sorority question

Or Star Wars gear or HP or DC comic stuff.

We all have our own style.

I have a dear friend who is still VERY involved in his frat. And he is 46 yrs old. He travels to Florida for lots of events and to help out.

Because she’s still a member.

The point of joining a sorority is to have life long connections. Even after college graduation, you can be active in your sorority. They perform many charity functions, social functions, etc.

No different than continuing to support your college after you graduate.

I agree with this.

I'll add same reason why people wear band/singer t-shirts.
I wish I still had some of my old concert tour/band t-shirts. I tossed them when they got too small. 

Well I’ll agree with you - I was in a sorority and have never worn my letters after graduation- and even in college people didn’t really wear their letters other than the t-shirts you got from mixers etc. but maybe I’m the odd one.
Eta - I feel like every member in my family (sister, mom, cousins) were in sororities and no one would wear their letters.

The woman is free to wear whatever she wants, but I think it’s a little odd for a woman in her thirties to be wearing clothes with the sorority name or Greek letters on it. I was in a sorority and I haven’t owned any clothing with the sorority name or Greek letters on it since college. I’m fairly active in my alumni group and a few members wear their pins to alumni meetings, but I don’t know anyone who regularly wears clothing w/ the sorority name or Greek letters on it.

It would not be typical in my experience I’m well over 30 but I don’t remember ever seeing a woman wearing Greek letters. We all seek to be in community with others though so perhaps that’s her motivation.

Why don’t you like her?

I received my bachelor degrees from Ohio University. I've heard this saying: I got my OU shirt because I went to Ohio University. You got your Ohio State shirt because you went to Walmart.

I actually have my master's degree from "The" Ohio State University but I guarantee that a large percentage of the people wearing Ohio State shirts never went there. The Ohio State worship is nuts around here (Columbus).

And on topic- I think wearing sorority letters is a bit weird but I think being in a sorority is pretty weird. I've just never been a fan.

But everyone can wear what they want. If that is important to you, go for it.

I was a very happy member of a sorority but I haven't worn gear since college. My guess is maybe she still works/volunteers for them in some capacity?

I wasn't in to sorority's when I went to college. DD started her first year of college this year and the second semester she decided to join one. She knew I didn't think much of sorority's so she was reluctant to talk to me about it. I told her my feelings about them but I would support her if she wanted to join one.  Honestly, it ended up being the best thing for her.  There have been significant changes in her these last few months that are attributed to her joining. I regret not having a more open discussion with her at the beginning of the year rather than projecting my feelings on to her. It was a lesson learned for me that my feelings and opinions don't need to be hers as well.

All that to say that I now have a shirt with their sorority name on it because of one of their fundraisers. Maybe some of them are like that or does she have a daughter in that sorority currently. 

I guess I don't analyze what people are wearing enough to notice. Now that I think about it though there are a few people I know that wear there alma mater all the time but it doesn't bother me. I think this is the same. 

Honestly, a good 75% of my t-shirts are still sorority t-shirts. I don't often wear them out of the house, but we do have a symbol that is used very commonly in clothing and decor, and I won't hesitate to wear that.

I've been involved - actually involved, not just a member - since 1991. I've been in a collegiate chapter; three advisory chapter roles, including a long-term chapter advisor position; alumnae chapter member and officer; local Panhellenic delegate, and I am involved at a national level. Since I know so many members of my sorority (and others), I also know the ones who live and breathe the organization and consider it part of their identity - the organization's biggest cheerleaders. Every group has them, from political groups to civic organizations, to sororities. I always say, you get out of anything what you put into it, and no matter how we express it, those of us who put a lot in get a lot out..

Also, this time of year, if their group still does recommendations, they may be trying to make sure senior girls and moms know she can write them a letter, and it is a good recruiting tool for new alumnae members for your alumnae chapter, because people constantly approach you when you wear something so obvious. 

  Agree - this is what I was going to say as well.  I wasn't in a sorority but have some co-workers that still are VERY actively involved with their sorority, even though they graduated more than 20 years ago.

my favorite long sleeved t shirt for working out and lounging is a University of Minnesota t shirt. I also have various Wisconsin gear from visiting (and my brother went there - my kids decided the Midwest was too far and too cold lol)
Today I ran in a university of Oregon visor. I rarely if ever wear anything from my alma mater.
