Really? Hmmm. They actually have a list of the seven places that their letters can be displayed. Per the Wiki:

Phi Gamma Delta limits the written dislay of its Greek letters.[32] In accordance with the fraternity's international bylaws, Fiji chapters and members only portray their letters in the following seven locations:[33]

• On a uniform diamond-shaped member badge

• On the Fraternity's official seal

• On the Fraternity's official flag

• On a chapter house marker

• On memorials to deceased brothers

• On a brother's certificate of membership

• On a brother's official college ring

The fraternity's letters are, thus, considered sacred and are never to be displayed on an object that can be easily destroyed. Whereas other fraternities often display their letters on clothing or other items, this tradition prevents Fijis from doing so. In place of the actual Greek letters, "Fiji," "Phi Gam," or the English spelling of "Phi Gamma Delta" are used in their place.

MysticCat, I know about the rules, although I don't think I'd ever seen them copied explicitly before. I don't know why FIJI at W&L did that, but they certainly did. Not on all their tshirts... just some.

Oh, I certainly didn't think you had made it up or misread or anything. And I wasn't assuming you weren't familiar with those rules -- they'd just been mentioned enought times in the thread I thought maybe they should be laid out.

I was just surprised, since all the Fijis and Fiji chapters I've ever run across have been real sticklers about those rules.
