(Not to say that I care about pledges or new members or whatever we're calling them today wearing letters -- just to point out that I don't get it.)

When I was a pledge (they still called us pledges back then), I was a completely clueless pledge. I didn't know that 'A' 'G' and 'D' (in addition to other Alpha Gam symbols) had a secret meaning.
We had Pledge Ceremonies and such, but none really indicated what was yet to come in Initiation.
We didn't have GreekChat back then, so I didn't really know the whole extent of Ritual.
I can imagine it being that way for other NMs....they wear letters not knowing the meaning, but at the same time THEY DON'T KNOW there's another meaning.
