There are only a few sororities in the NPC with national rules against new members wearing letters before initiation (Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, and I think Alpha Epsilon Phi).

So if the new girls want to wear letters at any time during their NM period, it's against most groups' national policy to forbid them.

I know that it varies by campus whether or not the new members choose to wear them, but unless your sorority has a national rule against it, they aren't breaking any rules if they wear them. It just seems 'weird' if you were someone who went to a school where NMs didn't get letters until initiation.

Chapters on my campus tradititionally give out letters for bid day. If not a lettered shirt, they get a lettered tote or something. I personally enjoyed being able to wear letters as a new member, but to each her own.
