Way back when -- there were no strong prohibitions against wearing letters, but only initiated members could wear or display the Fraternity Crest. There was nothing magic about the Greek alphabet, but the crest or coat-of-arms contain secret symbols.
That's why people were allowed to be lavalliered or pinned, and why tee's or sweatshirts could be made with multiple letters for things like Homecoming or "teas" (what we sometimes called mixers where alcohol was present.)
