All of these sound like very cute ideas but I've seen several people say their shirts had the words "Pi Beta Phi" and not letters because of an old tradition that pledges were not allowed to wear the greek letters.

There is a mistaken idea that pledges cannot wear the greek letters. There is nothing in the C&S or any other Pi Phi document that states this. In fact, not allowing pledges to wear the same sportswear as all other members is hazing.

If you want cute bid day shirts with the name spelled out, that's fine but the shirts pledges get need to match what everyone else gets...
