It could only be better if he resembled “The Todd” off of scrubs. *MD/PhD five*
Is wearing an AOA necktie pretentious?

No one will actually notice what it is besides an ugly necktie, unless they’re AOA too, so therefore wear what you want.

I agree. I didn't even want to ask to leave wards a bit early to go to my induction ceremony that night because I don't want people to think I was bragging or trying to get praise. Laying low is good for now, but make sure to highlight your achievements on ERAS. You can't go wrong with evaluations that say something like "Student was incredibly knowledgeable above his/her 3rd year peers but remained humble about this advanced understanding." The necktie/pin will probably just look like you want others to know that you're good enough for an honor society.

Wearing a pin seems socially acceptable, I have seen students/residents/attendings wearing them at a few of our hospitals. I think as long as the person wearing them is nice and doesn't have a cocky personality it won't be an issue.
The necktie/bowtie probably would be unnoticed by most, but I think it would mainly only be socially acceptable during AOA meetings, or as another member put it, if you were the fun, old white haired doctor.

I got a patient's stool on my tie once.
...Never again.

Not without matching AOA socks.
I would recommend wearing an AOA neck tie, belt, suspenders or socks every day.
