aephi alum,
I HATE to be picky about this, lol, but i just wanted to add a few things.
In terms of what you can wear while you are online if you are joining an NPHC organization, you really can't generalize. I do know for a fact that at least two NPHC sororities have "pledge pins" and one of those asks that their pledges/new members wear the colors of the organization during part of the official process. I only know this because it out in the open.
Other organizations have no pledge pins. The lengths of the NPHC intake programs are all different -- locations vary.
My pet peeve is anyone lumping the NPHC organizations together just because they are NPHC. We really are all different, with different intake procedures and rules.
One last thing.....while it is a privilege to wear our letters, I am pretty sure that forbidding someone from wearing what they have in their closet is considered an intake infraction. Not to say that it doesn't happen, or that it isn't a campus tradition in many places. I would just be surprised if an NPHC member came here and said "Yes, we forbid our aspirants from wearing our colors or other NPHC colors."
