We weren't allowed to wear Greek letters, but we could wear the name spelled out, or "SDT." I didn't have a problem with it...I wouldn't feel right wearing letters that I didn't know the meaning of, but that's me. I don't see it as "earning"...it's really just a meaning that can't be revealed until initiation. It was also a real honor when we finally did get to wear them. I don't really see a problem one way or another...but I also don't feel like I was hazed because I wasn't allowed to wear letters.
Our Bid Day shirts were still really cute, though! On the front, they said, "Sigma Delta Tau Bid Day 2003," and on the back, they have this saloon-type lettering: "Sig Delts...Gettin' lucky never felt so good."
