But, first and foremost we have to know what Delta's national guidelines are. We have to know whether our chapter's policies and protocol adhere to Delta's policies and protocol. We also have to know whether our policies and protocol are just a chapter thing (and other chapters) or mandated by Delta.

Despite my claim that I wouldn't look up our national bylaws, standing rules, etc., I did. I was unable to find anything as far as Kappa's national rules regarding wearing letters. The only restriction that I could find regarding wearing anything is the badge is allowed to be worn by initiated members only. I think this is a chapter to chapter thing, but I'm open to someone who really knows our rules back and forth to correct me. I openly admit that I don't know the rules as well as I should, but I do know where to find them and how to use an index.
To my original point in agreeing with 33girl, I also think that this has become more prevalent among NPC groups since pledges became new members and had a shorter amount of time preceding initiation. I don't know when Mevara was initiated, but if it was during this century, her road to initiation was definitely different than mine.
