Nope except for pledge pins. The peldge pins could only be worn on collared shirts. Whch meant we had to wear collared shirts all the time. Sometimes pledges didn't pick up on that and would wear t-shirts and no pins. You can bet they were told what was meant by "only with collared shirts". Of coruse, the pins had to be removed on the rare occasions we we were able to partake in certain bevergaes.

In ZBT, our new members are allowed to wear the letters of the fraternity, however, they are not allowed to wear national brother pin or chapter pin until they successfully complete the membership development process and are initiated into the brotherhood.

Our pledges are allowed to wear whatever they want, except the membership quill pin
Though I kind of wish we had that rule where only initiated members can wear letters. |
Every chapter is different, but at mine new members aren't allowed to wear letters until big/lil. We were told that they wanted our "first set of letters" to come from our big because it's more meaningful and special that way. And of course they weren't allowed to wear our badge or anything with our crest on it until after the initiation ceremony.

I guess there are different ways to handle the wearing of letters.
But, if a new Recruit/Pledge is allowed to wear letters, it does promote that chapter or GLO. I always thought that if they were good enough to be recruited then they should be able to say so. Hi, I am a pround new associate of so and so GLO. Talk to me and see if I can interest you in joining us. Wearing the Badge/Pin without being initiated of course is something differet all together. |
In my sorority they can't techincally tell you that you are not allowed to wear stiched letters, but they strongly suggest we don't. My pledge class may wear spelled out letters (we can have a t-shirt that says Gamma Phi Beta), but we can't wear the greek letters in any form until initiation, when we've earned it. We can own them...most of us have the letters in our closets, but we wouldn''t dream of wearing them until we are full sisters. This is basically the norm for the campus.

:) I'm glad that "pledges" wearing letters isn't up to individual chapters' opinions for Delta. This thread is really old so this stuff has been said over and over. |
At my chapter the new members were not allowed to wear anything that had the greek letters on them except for panhellenic shirts that had everyone's letters on them or shirts that had our name spelled out. They were given their first set of letters "shirt form" after initiation

DZ letters
Just like everyone else, our girls can wear the letters but I dont think we let them wear the crest.
But I kind of wish they weren't allowed to wear the letters until initiated. I think it would be more of a privilege to them once they were initiated! |

If you or yours may happen to Haze is that alright also as long as it is not known? If The New Members are not good enough to have them wear letters why were they pledged in the first place? They do not know Your or anyone elses Ritual secrets so hide them under a basket instead of proudly saying Hi, I am a new member of So and So GLO! Makes me not want to join yours or any other who does not like me enough to be proud enough to be with You.:rolleyes: |
