Pi Phi new members cannot wear our Greek letters until after initiation. It is in our national bylaws. The letters do have a secret meaning. And personally, I felt a greater connection to wearing the letters after learning their meaning / waiting for the privilege. It is (was) a tradition on my campus for big sisters to give their newly initiated little a lavaliere with our letters on the front, and initials & date of initiation on the back as our first letters. It was a fun tradition. (although I had kind of a deadbeat big--she deactivated at the end of her sophomore year and I never got a lavaliere. At my graduation, my fabulous little got me one.)
