When my husband gave me his letters, we looked at it as a pre-engagement. We dated for another year then he proposed. We were married 2 years after that. His father had given his mother letters and his brother-in-law gave his sister letters (all KA Order by the way). The letters are cherished by all of us.
It seems a little trite to say that it is wrong to accept multiple drop letters. I know a girl engaged twice in college-both broken off. Another has been married and divorced within a year. One girl got letters from a guy then cheated on him with another fraternity man. When the second pair started dating, I jokingly told him not to give her letters, she didn't respect them. He proposed instead. They hadn't been married a month when he caught her trying to take home his fraternity brothers from a bar. Marriage doesn't mean much to people these days. Maybe none of us should get married.
