[QUOTE=DUKyleXY;1521386]Pi Phis,
I think I read somewhere that the "tradition" of new members not wearing Beta was because the pledge pin only had the Pi and Phi on it. This supposedly lead to the idea that Beta was reserved for initiated sisters.

Actually, the pledge pin is an arrowhead with just the BETA on it - not the Pi or the Phi. From the Pi Beta Phi Webpage:
"The pledge pin is an arrowhead of Roman gold mounted with the Greek letter B (Beta) in burnished gold."
