I've never understood the concept behind "earning" one's letters. To me, the new member period is more of a process of jumping through the right hoops and cutting through the red tape instead of being an action of "earning" something.
Maybe I'd feel differently if I hadn't been able to wear letters on my bid day; maybe then I'd want everyone who came after me to "suffer" the same ways I had. But, since I wore letters as soon as I opened my bid card (practically), I don't see a need to keep new members from wearing them.
If someone hasn't earned your approval (or whatever is supposedly being earned during the new member period) prior to extending them a bid, then why have they earned it enough to get that bid in the first place?
