1) Yucky.
2) If I were to introduce a bylaw amendment, it would say something like "The symbols of Alpha Phi Omega may only be worn by initiated brothers of the fraternity: actives, alumni, advisors, and honorary brothers."
I am not in favor of petitioners or pledges representing their membership through any insignia other than their pin.
I would also be in favor of empowering the National Board of Directors to institute a policy on letters -- after surveying the membership and reviewing similar policies from other organizations to compare best practices.
In other words, I would like the convention to define who may wear letters and for the national board to define how they may be worn.
