All I could find on our website was this:
-Badge Etiquette-
Since your badge is the outward, visible symbol of your lifetime loyalty to Alpha Delta Pi, it is of utmost importance that you wear it correctly. Your badge should be worn with respect for the high ideals and standards of Alpha Delta Pi.
When the Alpha Delta Pi badge is worn, no other badge including the guard shall be worn above it. Your badge should always be worn with appropriate "pin attire": Nice dresses, skirts, and slacks; never wear your badge with jeans or other casual attire.
The Alpha Delta Pi badge is never worn with formal attire, except at an exclusive sorority event such as Grand Convention or an Installation Banquet.

I'm assuming that if you're wearing a badge, no matter how you're wearing it, you're supposed to be in pin attire. I also don't know why we're not allowed to wear it with formal attire-does anyone on here know, if they can share it publicly?

That was pretty much my thought.

If there's an esoteric reason (do they even still use that term these days?) for not wearing the badge with formal attire, I don't remember ever being told what it is. In college, I honestly never even questioned that distinction of pin attire not including formal attire, which is kind of funny, because I tended to voraciously gobble up any little bits of our history and unique distinctions between ADPi and other NPC groups, and that kind of little difference is something that would otherwise interest me. A hundred years ago, women didn't even wear pants (typically), so it seems like quite a lot more of their wardrobe would qualify as pin attire, even day-to-day dresses that weren't necessarily Sunday best but also weren't for mucking out the chicken coop either . I kind of wonder when the distinction was codified.

This always seemed strange to me, too. DAR pins are not worn at similar situations, too.

I am completely wrong about this, but I would rather see an ADPi pin worn with respect, while wearing clean jeans or such, than sitting in a jewelry box. I've seen a ChiO wearing her pin while in jeans that is simply precious, and I'd have a hard time calling her out on it.
