a popular thing that we implemented 3 pledge classes ago was the "earn your letters" program. each pledge buys a T-shirt (of the same color) on the night of covanent. then along the pledge process, the Hegemon awards the pledges, in order, the "T" the "K" and the "E." Then soon after they are initiated, they take the shirt and the letters to a seamstress and then they have a unique letter shirt for their pledge class. you determine what it takes to earn each letter. we do it based on a point system -- play intramurals, become involved in at least one on-campus club/organization outside Greek Life, participate in all service/philanthropic events, bring over at least one guy who receives a bid, etc.
this is something that is VERY popular with the brothers and when the pledges are awarded their letters during the chapter meeting, they feel very important. Then when they wear those letters after initiation, they feel like they really earned them.

Since they are associated with TKE pledges are encouraged to wear letters, put them on thier car and permote TKE in a positive way.
They are not allowed to wear the Badge or The Coat of Arms.
We do have set days were the pledeges wear thier Pledge pin, bid day shirt and pledge class shirt (shirt they design and have made) and I was thinking about trying the earn your sewn on letters at our chapter.
