Sorry you had to wait so long for this response. I'm usually quite busy and don't have too much time to get on GreekChat. Well this is true that they do not know what phi mu means until after initiation. Just as you said earlier though letting them wear it shows that they, while not initiated where chosen to be a part of the orginization. Wearing the actual Greek letters however should be earned. I'm not talking about hazing. I'm talking about proving your devotion and love for the sorority. Anything good is worth waiting for. That's how I felt about waiting to wear letters. It's also so you don't take for granted what a privelage it is to wear them. I went through formal recruitment with a good friend who ended up joining delta zeta. They were allowed to wear letters through the pledging process. Wearing them was not at all special to her. I realize this is an isolated example but it's the impression I got from most girls who did not have to wait to wear letters.
