I understand that completely and have no problem with that.
I would, however, have a huge problem if an AXO came on here and said "In our chapter, new members aren't allowed to wear block/stitch letters until after initiation -- they have to earn them" -- because I know that that is not what HQ says. I am saying that IF your HQ/Nationals (if you are a part of such org) says what should be done, then that should be the rule period.
I think the big problem is that often times chapter members do not know what their national policy is (if there is one) and they make statements to the contrary, which may give the org a bad rap. We get reminded from HQ about this through our CLC visits which are required -- ie, even though we aren't breaking any rules, we still have to be reminded (kinda like the dumb "coffee is served hot and will burn you" signs at McD's!)
