maybe that all applies if you're at a bigger school (which you are) where everyone doesn't know you, but if you're someplace small, whether someone is wearing letters or not you know what group they're in. I never forgot Alicia was a ZTA, or Julia was a DZ, whether they had on letters or not. Mainly because I saw them wearing their coats/sweatshirts week after week, month after month.
I never heard such vehement prohibition on this when I was in school, back in the dark ages...it was more being proud of your group and wanting to show off your letters. Drinking and smoking weren't the Gateways to Hell! they are seen as now.
It also seems to me that as pledge programs have decreased in mandatory activities and degree of difficulty, it's been replaced with more rules and regulations for the actives. But that is another thread.
