Actually, some groups - like ASA & AST - do have an open motto that corresponds to the letters. This is why I've never seen anything wrong with our pledges wearing them.
However, I would never say that just because we do it that way, some other group who doesn't learn the meaning of the letters until initiation should do the same thing.
