The 7 places that are acceptable for the Greek letters of Phi Gamma Delta to be seen are

1. Chapter House Marker
2. Official Badge
3. Fraternity Ring
4. Certificate of Membership
5. Flag
6. Seal
7. Memorial to Members

Now, as regards to the tattoo on the ankle. Back in the days of the Civil War, it was tradition for soldiers to get the tattoo in rememberance of their fallen brothers in the war. Therefore, the tattoo is technically classified under a "Memorial to Members" which is why it is allowed.

I had heard it was a more modern war (Vietnam if I remember correctly.) but the story was almost identical for the reasoning behind ankle tattoos.
