I'd advise it then. I know my dad wears his pin alot of days, and most of his co-workers do as well.
And I would advise against it. I've lived in the South all my life, I grew up in a Greek family, and I work with plenty of Greeks everyday and I can confidently say that I have never seen a man wear his badge after graduation unless he was participating in a fraternity/alumnus function. Same for women.

I see (and wear) lapel pins/recognition pins all the time -- that's the purpose of them. I see class rings with Greek letters engraved on them all the time. I see women wearing Greek-related rings and necklaces all the time. But I really have never seen someone wear their badge to work after graduation. To say that someone who did would be viewed as weird -- by Greeks as well as non-Greeks -- is an understatement.
