You'd have to ask an ADPi, but
here is a post where I mentioned it before and linked to other posts -- one about ADPi and one that I'd forgotten about AXO.

When this has been discussed before, the consensus has been that shirts like you describe don't imply that you are a member of
every organization listed, but just that the organization you are a member of participated in the event or promotion. The issue is wearing letters in a way that indicates that you are a member of the organization whose letters you are wearing,
Even then, some orgs might have guidelines -- Fiji would not allow their letters to be used at all; and as described
ad nauseum above, some orgs might allow their names to be spelled out in English but would not allow the Greek letters to be used.
