NMs in letters.

[FSUZeta]

ZTA new members are allowed to wear letters, however, until their initiation, they are not allowed to possess or wear anything with our coat of arms on it.

Alpha Chi is the same- although we don't go as far as to prohibit possession, just the wearing of the coat of arms (or crest) before their initiation.

I was told the same thing when I was a new member but have since been told there's nothing saying new members can't possess/wear the armorial bearings. I've never checked, so I don't know what the real deal is. But either way, letters are definitely allowed.

That's the ADPi party line, too.

In fact, I was thinking about the "no letters on non-initiated members" bit in the past few weeks with the flooding and all. If I came across someone who was desperate for clothing, and all I had was a letter shirt, I would rather give it to someone who needed it than keep someone from wearing my letters. Isn't that what it's all about?

PS: I'm not talking about a sleepover or something like that - I mean a time when you can change someone's life.

This is how Alpha Xi Delta is, also. Letters are okay, though at our chapter we usually don't give them the sewn letters until closer until initiation when their big's give them to them, but they get screen printed letters earlier in their NM process.
