FWIW, I once called our Executive Office, over the protocol on wearing something. If I remember properly, it was using a crest guard instead of a chapter guard.

What I was told was that I had "alumnae privilege", and as long as a pin was worn respectfully and tastefully, the rules were somewhat relaxed.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times - I'd rather see a pin worn with respect and good taste than sitting in a jewelry box, ignored.
