New Members CAN wear letters
Just to clarify...
"New members can and should be encouraged to wear Alpha Xi Delta letters (however, only initiated members may wear the crest)." That is taken directly from our NMOC Manual.
I know of several chapters that give lettered jerseys to their new members on bid day. And why not, it is a great way for all members to show their pride, a good way for chapters to "show off" their new members, and good PR - the more members you have wearing letters, the more advertising you have on campus.
As for Initiation, I am always a fan of giving a good quality Quill Box. If you can find one with a crest on it - it's even better. There is a Greek Store here in Atlanta that is owned by an Alpha Xi Delta and she always carries very pretty Quill boxes.
My favorite gift from my big sister was a Boyd's Bear figurine with two bears holding hands. She has very pretty handwriting and on the bottom of the figurine, she wrote both of our names, AXD, and my initiation date. I still have it displayed in my house.
