Old posts I am pulling up, but I was reading through Pi Phi ones... bored at home for thanksgiving...
When I was a new member and active we did the same thing. No Beta. You could wear it written out, but thats it. So on initiation everyone would talk of you becoming a new sister and how you got your beta. I won't go into all the details on here, but the pledge pin has a beta on it... I actually do not find anything wrong with not wearing letters until initiated. Like someone said before there are certain aspects of the chapter you do not participate in until then either. I am not aware of what our chapter does currently though on this.
