On Bid Day the New Members have a ceremony where they recieve a Cardinal and Straw ribbon that they can wear until the actual Pledge Ceremony a few weeks later when they get their Pledge Pin. They are only required to wear their pin to meeting. Like any Initiated Member the Pledges are asked not to wear their pin in jeans, shorts, or non-meeting attire.
I took my ribbon pin and attatched it to my backpack after I recieved my Pledge Pin...it stayed there for 3 YEARS, until one day it just fell off!
Pledge Pins are only worn for about 5 months and are returned once a pledge is initiated!
