We changed our rule to not giving letters out to new members specifically because we had new members who were not getting initiated wearing them after they had depledged. While a chapter can control what a member does in her letters they can't control what some random person who only pledged like 5 days. I received my letters before I was intitiated but looking back on it I did not give my letters the respect they deserved because there was no meaning behind them, now every time I put on my letters I remember at all times what they mean and stand for. Our new members are also not allowed to wear our crest. I have a question for the chapters who consider it hazing to not give out letters but find it ok not to let new members wear the crest. I don't mean any disrespect but how is it different. The new members are not allowed to wear something a intiated sister can, it's the same as not letting them wear letters.
