We were allowed to wear letters from day one, even back in 1984.

Yup, we were initiated just before recruitment, I want to say it was the first week of school. Nothing happened over the summer - everyone kind of scattered to their homes to work or do whatever. UMaine is in the middle of the state so unless you live in Orono or Bangor, you most likely won't be going there in the middle of the summer!
It was fine, though, it made me appreciate getting initiated and I'm pretty sure I wore my letters as much as I possibly could once I got them. Now our rules have changed and new members can wear letters right away. I am actually now not sure if this was a "nationals" thing or a "just my chapter" thing.
