It's a very old tradition with Fijis -- it's why they use "Fiji" rather than the actual letters. Per their national website:
Members of Phi Gamma Delta hold our Greek letters in reverence. Therefore, we limit their display to a select number of places, such as the front of the chapter house, the fraternity flag, class rings, and the member badge. When our fraternity is named in campus or interfraternity publications, we prefer the full spelling of Phi Gamma Delta rather than use of the Greek letters or the nickname Fiji.
The other "accpetable" place for the letters, as I recall, are: membership certificates (shingles), the fraternity seal and gravestones.
