We have always called that "Snap Bidding." Our chapter doesn't let guys wear, have stickers on cars or even write the letters until they are Knighted. Even on the shirts that then Candidate Class designs they have to spell out: S I G M A N U... If it happens that we are going to have shirts or something for Greek Week, etc... we simply provide them with shirts that are the same color so they will match.
I think the only chapter in So Cal that allows their new guys to wear letters prior to Knighting is CSULA and they only allow it for a few days prior to Knighting. We keep them from wearing anything with letter because it eliminates confussion when they visit Sigma Nu houses on other campuses.
(The only exception to using the letters prior to initiation is the paddles the Candidates give to their big bros or the gift they give to chapter.)
