We allow them to put the letters on their car and such, but nothing on their body until initiated. However, they are allowed to wear clothing items with the words "Alpha Gamma Delta" or "Alpha Gam," just not the letters.

This is actually an unwritten policy in APO. Only Brothers may wear letters. Pledges may wear items that have the full name spelled out, but not the greek letters. (event t-shirts are ok, because they aren't an indication of membership) In most chapters, once a pledge is initiated as a Brother, typically that is when they are presented with their first letter shirt/jersey/jacket, typically from their Big Brother.
