Pledge Pins and Probate

[naraht]

I guess I'm looking for answers mostly from the chapters at HBCUs.

Point 5 of the National Pledging Standards for APO says

Wearing of Insignia. An appropriate period of pledging includes wearing an official Pledge pin at all times.

Rationale: Chapter Image, on and off campus, is a vital concern of all Members, new and old. The prominent and proud display of an Alpha Phi Omega Pledge Pin instills pride through identity with Alpha Phi Omega, signifies the Chapter's presence on campus and in the community, and may also habituate all Members to proudly wear Fraternity insignia.

How do Alpha Phi Omega chapters that participate in probate have probate work when the NPS so specifically says that Pledge Pins should be worn?

Do Pledges not wear their pins or is probate much less of a mystery for APO? (or something I haven't thought of)

(note if there are similar issues with GSS, please chime in)
