The topic of whether new members or pledges are allowed to wear letters comes up from time to time. My view is that it's a question for each organization to decide -- not an issue of better or worse, or right or wrong. It might not be a bad idea to remember that there are NIC and NPC groups whose official new member / pledge / associate member pins proudly display the fraternity's or sorority's Greek letters. For example (forgive me if I've forgotten some):
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Phi
Alpha Sigma Alpha
Alpha Sigma Tau
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Phi Epsilon
Sigma Kappa
Sigma Sigma Sigma
Delta Chi
Delta Upsilon
Kappa Alpha Order
Phi Kappa Sigma
And at least two sororities that have merged into other NPC groups displayed their letters on their pledge pins: Delta Sigma Epsilon and Pi Kappa Sigma.
I hope we can all appreciate the different traditions and policies in the Greek world.
