. . .
Since "over the heart" is not specific members can wear the badge on their shirt or coat lapel. Both are correct; which one you do is usually a matter of chapter tradition. I personally think it looks really freaking stupid on a coat lapel.

Similar with us. The badge "is not intended for overt display, and is to be worn nearest the heart on dress shirts, vests or pullover sweaters. [It] is not worn on coat lapels, collars, ties, the watch pocket of vests, coat sweaters, or T-shirts." (Bylaws, Article XVII, Sec. 3)
I remember decades ago we couldn't quite figure out what a "sweater coat" is. I'm still not sure.
And I'm just now realizing that there is no mention of the necessity of a tie, though I think the general understanding is that it isn't worn without one.
