Just asking.

Our letters and our pledge pin have an open meaning, which is our motto.
Our crest and our member badge have hidden meaning that are only revealed at initiation.
Ergo the letters/crest distinction.
I don't know what the rest of y'all do.
Seriously, calling someone a pledge and/or not letting them wear certain items is not in any state hazing law - unless you stretch it like Rosie O'Donnell's underwear.
(That should kill this thread.)
