When I pledged ZTA, we were all given 14k gold lavaliers with our letters from the sisters. (still have it!)
I remember our pledge mom gathered us all up after dinner one night and let us order anything we wanted out of a catalog as long as it didn't have the ZTA crest on it.
All of us purchased a teal jersey with silver letters. Our names were stitched on the back. I also bought a red and white stitched letter shirt. I still have both of them.
And.. I also had a navy blue t-shirt with the words "Zeta Tau Alpha" written out in white about forty times. I loved that shirt so much, and literally wore it until it fell apart in the washing machine.
These were all purchased and worn prior to initiation.

There's a thread here somewhere about whether or not NMs are allowed to wear letters.
I've heard of situations where chapters tell their NMs they can't wear letters even though their HQs allow it. They call it "tradition," or whatever. I just don't get it. If HQ encourages NMs to wear the letters, why go against it?
