I think our NM Coordinator felt that by letting us vote as a pledge class what we wanted to do, it wasn't hazing. I see your point though, but I have to agree with 33, if I wore letters and all of the other girls I went through recruitment with in other chapters didn't, I'd feel weird. It's about campus culture and your particular chapter in general. Obviously, if one girl wanted to wear letters she had bought in excitement over getting her bid, then there's no one to tell her she can't in ZTA (I think the only person that would have, had that happened, would have been another NM who didn't know better). It's not as big a deal as you're all saying that I'm saying it is - just a personal belief that I have and shared with my chapter. I agree with your point about marketing though, which is why we would have days that we would all wear certain shirts (something from recruitment or bid day, etc.) that our NMs had as well so we were all unified. We would have letters days too, but they were usually during recruitment when any NMs we had would have already been initiated. Trust me, we took public relations very seriously during recruitment since we were a smaller chapter.
