I wear my badge whenever I visit a chapter meeting or any other Fraternity function when the dress at the event warrants.
I also have a Delt Coat of Arms lapel pin that I wear whenever I have a suit or sportcoat on anywhere.
This is an interesting topic, because back when I was in college we wore or badges everywhere (except, obviously, when not dressed appropriately -- like wearing a shirt with no collar). I was surprized when I got seriously reinvolved a few years ago that this is not the case anymore. I'm not sure just when that stopped, but it's too bad.
I suspect, though, that one reason is that today's undergrads dress more casually more often than we did. In fact, if feeble memory serves me, we still had to "dress" for dinner each night. That was back in the late sixties.
A couple of the chapters in my division have "badge days" and "letter days" every week when everyone wears his badge or a shirt with letters (voluntarily, of course, no hazing here) to classes, etc.
Fraternally,
DeltAlum
