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?

To True.
The GLO either wants them or they dont.
Is it really so much earning to wear letters?
They cannot in all GLOs wear the Creat or Badge until Initiation and learning of the meanings.
If I had been accepted as a PNM and was told I could not wear the letters of an organization that want me or I wanted, I would have second thoughts.
I would still be a part, while smaller than the Active members, of the whole team.
