Depending on the region you are in... pin attire can either be very strictly enforced, or very lax. I was shocked to see the trendy non-business clothing that passed for pin attire when I lived on the West Coast... just as I am sure that ladies in South Carolina would have been horrified by our open toed shoes and no pantyhose in Florida.
Within ADPi, both the badge worn by initiated members and the new member pin are to be worn only with business attire. You may not wear your pin with denim, casual clothing, or formal attire (unless it is an installation banquet.)
ETA: With members running into so much overprogramming, you just have to pick your battles. I'd happily run a yearly "Business Attire and Resume/Interview" Workshop with members so they at least have an idea of what is expected in the "real word," but regionally, it is hard to peg what is "business attire."
Folks in Los Angeles show up to work in jeans and flip flops... and yes, even velour track suits. Whereas, in Boston, you see a lot more suits, ties and button down shirts.
