I think the problem is that some of these "letter wearing" policys have changed relatively recently. Adpi's offical policy is alphas can wear anything but the Crest, but, at least when I was a Delta, my chapter still had "old school girls" who remembed the "good ol' days" (hazing) and they really resented the changes so the things they could get away with stayed the same. There was still the old sentiment of having to "earn" your letters (or in the absence of earning wait a really long time). I personally waited till initation but I diddn't mind I couldn't really afford to buy letters at the time so my diamond sister presenting them to me was great! I think you'll find less varience as fewer sisters who remember hazing are still active in chapters its the " the new girls have everything handed to them" atttiude that makes them cling to older policys.
