The wearing of jewelry too usually ONLY pertains to the organizations' badges or member pins. Not other jewelry, because many of the sororities have things that Mothers can wear and fraternities often times have sweetheart pins or items. If a member gives one of these items to a loved one to wear then are they breaking the rules of non members wearing jewelry?

None of the philanthropy shirts I've had have ever had the crest. They've had letters or the name written out. I'll ask my friend who is on Sig Chi's alum board on my campus...what would you be more offended by, me wearing your Derby Days shirt or a crest pin?
And, yes, they would be breaking the rules. The rules do not change because "Oh, it's a loved one." I wouldn't (and couldn't, by Pi Phi's rules), give my fiance my badge to wear. He is not a member. I did, however, give my mother an allowed mother's pin.
