Yeah, we always wore them. (at least on my campus) I remember once going down to the cafeteria and realizing I'd forgotten to put on my pledge pin and going back to my room to get it because I didn't want the sisters to see me without it.

I am currently undergoing therapy for PTSD because the experience was so devastaing for me

We loved to wear ours. We were proud to be Pi Phis and Greeks. The first week, all the sororities' NMs wore pledge ribbons in our colors behind our pledge pins.

We wore ours (with ribbons underneath of course) M-F 9-5 (or whenever you were done with school). That was pretty standard for all the sororities on campus. We also were allowed/supposed to wear it with everything - thank God. DZs had to wear theirs with dress pants or skirts only (in other words they had to dress up for school for 6 weeks) so that made me certain that DZ and I were not meant to be.

I had the pre-op nurse tape over mine, just like a wedding band!

We all are, KR, we all are.

And none of that M-F bit, either - we were expected to wear them at all times! Oh, the humanity!
