Fuzzie, I read that a little while ago myself, and thought I must have read it wrong, was not understanding it clearly, or there was a typo, because it doesn't make sense to me. I was planning to ask someone at Convention to explain it to me! I, too, thought that someone had to wait until after Initiation to use/wear/possess the crest.
Babies- OK, you're using the baby to reflect your own pride in your org. It's a way of saying "Hey, I'm an ABC" without you having to wear the letters yourself (did that make sense?). Babies, toddlers, maybe even little kids......... However, I think that older girls wearing letters is not "right", after all they are almost old enough to be members, and who can tell the difference between a 18-year-old HS student and an 18-year-old collegian? Also, keep in mind that anything the HS girl does in org shirts will reflect on the org. No one will know that she is only wearing her older sister's event and is not a member.
Just my $.02.
