I agree, but you know we break the rule for our "Seasoned" members with 40+ years in the org. I've seen "Seasoned" members of different orgs with 2, 3, and even 4 pieces of 'nalia at once.

There's nothing wrong with wearing your letters. It's just showing pride in what's a part of you. Just keep the 'nalia tasteful and neat, and don't go around acting like a brand spanking new undergrad neophyte, ie chanting, singing, doing calls etc, during the workday.

I keep a jacket at work for the arctic A/C, and I keep my lanyard for my keys on display.

There was a teacher at the school I taught at who everyone knew was an Omega. How did we know? He donned purple and/or gold every single day. He didn't run around barking or throwing up hooks, but everyone knew he was one of the 8 Omegas on the faculty.

They are the only ones who should even consider wearing XYZ tennis shoes, XYZ jogging suits, XYZ shoelaces, and other things that just scream "I'm seasoned and I don't have to have 'nalia moderation." I've seen younger members trying to do this stuff and I always shake my head.

I remember when I first crossed, I tried to put every piece of car 'nalia on my vehicle. It was the Delta mobile and my Greekfriend had to pull me to the side and say "we get the point, give it a rest...and take off that humongously ugly neo wooden lettered pin...and stop always carrying around that darn bag they made for you all...and put that huge, plastic Fortitude pin to rest too."
