Colonies can use the letters, though, because we did and it was encouraged by National.

Whether or not an interest group is "allowed" to wear letters, depends on the legal status of the collateral. In other words, if the letters are trademarked, or copyrighted, then they are not, and such a group may be subject to litigation.
If such letters are not legally protected, it may still be undesirable for an interest group to wear the letters of the group with which it desires to affiliate because doing so may be seen as overly presumptuous and highly disrespectful. Why would a group want to admit a new member who has no respect for its procedures? That's just asking for unneeded conflict down the road.
