I think the difference here is that some orgs, such as ADPi, have chosen to extend the privilege of wearing letters to their new members, while others, such as AEPhi, reserve that privilege for initiates only. So AEPhiSierra is right in that for AEPhi wearing letters as a NM would be acting as if you were a sister when you're not. But t*p is also right in that for ADPi wearing letters as a NM just means you're a member, albeit a new one.
The primary focus of a new member education program should be learning more about the GLO you're pledging and about the sisters and your pledge sisters. You could call that "earning" your membership - it's a fair amount of work, and that's as it should be.
