If it's nationally/internationally mandated, then fine. But I don't understand how a chapter of any group can make up a bunch of new rules "just because" or can adjust the rules to suit their own purpose rather than the organization as a whole.
What if your inter/national rules don't have any statement about when it's appropriate or inappropriate to wear letters, but your local chapter does? Who rules in that situation?
What if your inter/national rules say one thing and your local chapter another?? Then who do you listen to?

It's my understanding (for my organization) that national rules always overrule local rules, but that local rules can be more stringent than national rules.
For instance, there is a national rule that you need a certain GPA to be a chapter officer. Individual chapters can choose to require higher GPAs of their officers, but they cannot lower the bar.
