we were told a couple years ago that new members could wear letters, but my NM class was discouraged from wearing letters until initiation just out of practice...i do agree that it's something to look forward to as a NM and i think that members could preserve this tradition without going against their nationals by doing what my chapter does and just avoid giving letters as presents until after initiation. because letters are so expensive, a lot of sisters don't buy them for themselves and instead get them through their big-bigs when they graduate or as xmas/birthday presents...i didn't get my disk until initiation but i got lots of other cool alpha chi stuff beforehand, so it's not like i felt like i wasn't representing my chapter merchandise-wise.
