Wow. At my school, pledges have to wear their pins and have their binders at all times unless they've received special permission not to. I see pledges with their pins on at the gym all the time.
And for one of the sororities, you have to wear certain clothes each day, so getting precious clothes damaged wouldn't be too much of an issue.
This too:

For one of the fraternities here, their pledges have to wear a dime if they don't have their pin. It's interesting.
We don't have to wear a pin during Sigma or Phi, but we very often have our binders for interviews and signatures.
