most of the national headquarters set some type of rule about wearing stitched letters, the crest, etc. although not all chapters follow the rules. alpha xi delta allows new members to wear stitched letters, but not the quill (basically like our version of a badge) or the crest until after initiation. most everyone in a sorority on my campus carries a stitched letter bag, and we don't give those to the girls until after initiation. i know that DZ on my campus does not allow girls to wear their stitched letters until initiation. i think it all just varies from chapter to chapter and campus to campus.
