Bit of a difference here.

WE expect (its more an expectation then a requirement) our active members to wear their service pin all day/every day. Meetings, rituals, and one day a week would be less then what we expect, really. For us, that's be the bare minimum. We really would like our members to wear them all day/every day. We'd certainly also expect them to be worn while doing service. Hence, we expect pledges to do the same, so they get into the habit (which is the main purpose of having them wear them, really). Note that our service pin is much smaller then our larger, more formal badge.

BUT, to avoid the issue of unreasonable expectations, the 4/5 "S's" were thought up to give when its unreasonable to expect them to wear pins.
