That is soooooooooooooo insane! If I wear my [company name] shirt, am I promising everyone I see a job? If I wear a t-shirt with a band name on it, am I promising everyone tickets to their next concert?
Members have a right to wear their own pins in the appropriate context, whether they are new members or old. What makes a new member pin any different than the badge, the letters, or a lavalier? Will they next make fraternities take their letters off of their houses, because going to a party there could be miscontrued as giving a bid?
Craziness!
But actually, yes, I think AChiO is unique in that the new member pin is also worn by initiated members. I think it's a neat, classy idea. And your sorority is the ideal one to challenge this rule because as you said, you have to wear it!
