Event T-shirts with Letters on Pledges?

[naraht]

I'm interested in various GLO's policies on Letters on Pledges. As far as I can tell, most pledging GLOs would severely discourage a pledge from wearing a sweatshirt with the greek letters across as the only thing on it.

At the other end of the scale, some GLOs have the greek letters for the GLO on the pledge pin, so that is obviously OK.

The sort of middle ground that I'm wondering is the following...

1)Your Fraternity or Sorority has participated in a Service Project with other GLOs (and other campus orgs) to raise money for the Pediatric Aids foundation. Your pledges were encouraged to participate and did so willingly. On the day of the event, the group running the event passes out T-shirts. On that T-shirt is the name of *all* of the groups that are participating with the GLO's names including yours *in greek letters* (note each is about an inch high). Can your pledges put the t-shirts on while they do the event (like everyone is supposed to) or would they have to save the t-shirts until after initiation?

2) The chapters of your fraternity or sorority have a state-wide get together (pledges included). Part what they get is an event T-shirt that has the fraternity or sorority in Greek Letters as part of the theme printed on the shirt "ZHD Florida get-together 2006" or something similar (instead of ZHD, the greek letters), again, do the pledges have to wait?
