I've seen the rules for wearing our pin change numerous times, with the two constants being always over your heart, and nothing being worn above the pin.

One International Officer once showed us the precise location: put your right thumb on the center of collarbone, and put your pinkie straight down - the pin goes between your middle & ring finger. We all did it, and my pin was smack on the center of you-know-where! I told her that I would feel more comfortable with it higher, and she agreed that "it would be more appropriate, dear."!

For a little while, wearing our pin on the lapel of a buttoned blazer was okay, but I don't think so now. My favorite photo of a ChiO friend shows her wearing her pin with jeans (and a beer in her hand!), but she really does look cute in it. I've also noticed that older alumnae seem to get away with more creative ways of wearing the pin than collegiates!

Needless to say, the rule is now "church or business attire" while wearing the diamond, as most sororities.
