Yep, it does.
What SoCalGirl was talking about (I think), however, is a national Pi Phi rule (or custom -- and apparently there isn't one) that new members can't wear the full set of three Greek letters (Pi Beta Phi). This usually comes up in discussions about t-shirts, hoodies, caps, and so on.
Instead, or so the legend / rumor goes (or went), NMs wear "Pi Phi." Of course they can wear their new member pin.
I kiddingly said what I did about mothers getting to wear the beta because their mother's pin has all three Greek letters on it, not just the pi and the phi.
I hope I haven't made things even cloudier. Usually I zone out fairly fast on the annual posts about letters and new members. Especially -- with all due respect -- when they get into campus intricacies like the Big Deal Difference between printed, embroidered, or stitched-on letters.
