My chapter didn't have much in the way of a policy against it (except to not do it in your official chapter jersey), but it's definitely not encouraged as we all just knew when it's okay (ie. casual setting, restaurant (not bar), not going to drink excessively, member is 21) and when it's DEFINITELY not okay (party, chugging, shots, under 21,etc.).
I have worn letters to "getties" (get togethers, not parties), but only when I knew I was not going to be drinking. (I'm not one for the bottle anyways). Also, it's very common for boys to do it here, but not so often with women.
However, some schools may have a totally different culture. And I suppose why it's not as big of a deal at those schools. Maybe chapters want to be easily identified so the chapter can have that "good-time girl" rep (as in "Those girls really know how to let loose and have a good time!"). If that is your campus culture, I could see why you would follow along with that. People aren't going to look down their nose at you because it's acceptable and they expect it.
