Again, with such a small segment of a pledge class leaving the orgnization either prior to or post-initiation, it becomes more of a chapter education issue about returning letters once you are no longer a member. Remember that positive self-promotion is the best way for Greeks to earn a strong campus and community reputation-- the more (legitimate) people wearing your letters, the more visible and prominent your organization... and the more membership privileges a new member is afforded, the more acclimated and proud they are to represent the organization... keeping them around for more than just a semester.
I'm for newly bidded Greeks and initiated Greeks in letters, and chapters educating members on the consequences and expectations of what it means to own those letters. B/c if the majority of the chapter is canceling their memberships, there are bigger problems than concerns over non-members in letter shirts!
