Back in the day, we couldn't wear crests until we were initiated. I don't think this is the case any longer though. It's kind of a moot point as I can't remember the last time I saw anyone in a crest sweatshirt. The last ones I saw that weren't an iron-on were hella expensive and not that attractive.
We could wear letters from bid day on. We also never had/don't have any differentiation about "stitched" letters (this is the one that always kills me - like an extra layer of fabric is a big deal). Leters are letters, screen print, stitched, embroidered, spelled out, whatever. We also have an open motto that corresponds to our letters (in English and in Greek).
Every campus has its own culture, and NMs should never be "forced" to wear letters just to show that they're not being kept from wearing them (if that makes sense).
