Ok, so I guess the question is: When does someone become your brother/sister? Is it when they are inducted into the NM class? Is it when they are initiated?
Of course everyone is going to have their own take on it. I personally believe that someone is not a brother/sister until they are initiated. Its one thing to show interest in an organization, but its another to show enough dedication and admiration to go through the NM process, and say that this particular organization is the one for you. The whole pledging process is not only to let NM's get to know more about the organization, but also to see how much this person cares. I'm sure they are lots of people who think they would like to be KKG's or ChiO's, but its the people that put in the work and show their love that make it.
I totally agree with the comment about making people earn their letters. Why would want something handed to you? Anything worth having is worth waiting for, and it makes it that much more special.
