Not being snarky, but maybe you just didn't notice it. Sigma Chi pledges always had to wear their pledge pin. Although, pledge pins can only be worn with a collared shirt (so, Polo type is ok). No t-shirts and pledge pins together.

That makes sense!

This is a very definite possibility, lol

My fiance's good friend lived with a Sigma Chi and I remember that he ate dinner with all of us a few times during our freshmen year. I don't ever recall seeing a pledge pin. But as you mentioned, maybe I just didn't notice.

But that brings up a question--so if you HAD to wear your pledge pin everywhere during pledging...and you HAD to wear a collared shirt with your pin...did that mean that you HAD to wear a collared shirt everywhere?

And come to think of it, I never saw my fiance wear a pledge pin either...and I saw him quite often when he was pledging. From what I understand, his chapter was pretty traditional.
