Personally, I agree with this policy 100%. Because
I know most GLOs if they have such a policy, can wear letters spelled out, or can wear anything but not the crest, etc. I understand not wearing the crest, because you don't know what the stuff stands for. Well...then why should you be allowed to wear letters? You don't know what they stand for either. I know the Tau Beta Sigma chapter here has the same policy. I mean..I'm sorry...if you don't know what the stuff stands for, you shouldn't be allowed to wear it yet. I know that wearing them shows pride, etc, but also, when you have to wait until initiation to wear letters, it means more (IMO) to be able to wear them.
Thoughts, anyone????

I was told it was hazing if my NME was to say "Kathleen, no wearing letters until November 1st." We were "strongly encouraged" to wait, but we couldn't be ordered to. Our chapter is
very sensitive to hazing issues because we are the only NPC and there are big hazing problems on campus. I can't think of a single girl in my pledge class who did wear them, but we could have, if we chose to.
