Wearing letters

Is anyone else as lost as I am? I can't begin to understand not wearing letters at any point, especially as a neophyte.

Different traditions at different schools, I guess. We wore pledge pins, but only at the house for cleanup, etc. (never at parties). We wore pins when folks from National came by, but that was it.

Like I said, it was not common at my school.
