Then don't go Rain Man on us. I don't recall anyone implying that they worship their letters.
My organization's symbols are to be respected and any outward expression of membership is to be taken seriously. Being that a large portion of my organization's membership is over the college age, symbol protocol applies to more than to the antics of undergraduates. This is why we have certain protocol on how we should wear symbols and what types of items are inappropriate to place them on. Sure, SOME people take protocol to the extreme and even MAKE UP protocol that isn't "nationally mandated." That's more an issue of interpretation and application and doesn't mean that these entire protocol systems are ridiculous.
I certainly hope your sorority isn't a free-for-all void of rules and regulations for its letters and crest.
