AOII only withholds the badge from NMs. They can wear the letters and the rose (though, as a NM, I was not allowed to have anything with a rose on it because we thought that was the rule. It was a chapter rule!) I think most of the alums on GC get a little upset when collegians from our chapters come on GC with some far-fetched explanation why our org does something that clearly we know is not true.

I know what you mean! I got so much grief from my "friends" from other chapters because I wore letters after Bid Day...because they weren't allowed at the time. I may not have known what they meant, but I also knew how to wear them - with pride and looking good....not all frumpy in sweats.
To each their own I guess.
