Our practice was that if your shirt had a collar (to include a band collar) you wore your badge. Pledges wore their pins in public always, so they had to dress the part. If your shirt didn't have a collar you didn't wear your badge but most guys wore a tee shirt or sweat shirt with letters or symbols, or the coat of arms if they weren't wearing badges. Most of us had wind breaker jackets with identifying insignia, and during cooler and cold weather we wore badges on sweaters and blazers with coat of arms patches. If we were in a suit we always wore badges on vest if three piece and shirt if two piece. Our chapter was heavy into preppy so we were more into khakis and sweaters or blazers than jeans and tee shirts. Our whole chapter wore blazers, ties, and badges to football games and other 'official' campus activities where this was appropriate. This was not 'policy' but we just sort of did it by custom that was not even talked about but picked up by observation.
