my boyfriend is in a fraternity (which I am a sweetheart of) and I (as well as other sweethearts) are allowed to wear shirts with letters that have been screen printed on (i.e. bid day shirts, formal shirts, greek week etc.) however, only initiated members can wear shirts or hats with letters that are sewn on or embroidered into the material. and they are serious about it!!!
they also don't like it if you are wearing a shirt from an event you weren't invited to. Like some non-member friends of the guys tried to wear bid day t-shirts this year and the guys got pissed! even though i had one on, it was because i was invited to the days events (bbq and lawn party) and those guys weren't. it was also the already mentioned issue that nobody thinks I am ever trying to be a brother, but those non member guys could be mistaken for members.

about the daughter wearing the mother's pin. as a greek she probably understands the significance of her mother's pin, she might wear it because she knows it was something precious to her and she wants to remember her by it. she probably doesn't want to blaspheme the glo's or the importance of the pins. but i don't know... it's definatly a touchy subject.
