The hard work that you did to "earn your letters" are their own reward, and if you rely on other peoples' experinces to validate your own, you missed the point of the intake process.
I don't have any problem with honorary memberships. I would treat them just as I would any other soror. They, however do miss out on some aspects of the sorority as a result of the way they were inititated. For example, there were several of my sorors who were disappointed when Camile Cosby was made an honorary member because, as they put it, "any chapter would have taken her, and she would have made a very good national officer". By choosing to become an Honorary member, that option is no longer open to her. I on the other hand went through a chapter and am now enjoying the pleasures of running for a national office.
