I know it's not the same as your pin, but it is still kind of creepy to think that anyone could just buy your letters and wear them.....

Yeah, nobody likes the thought of nonmembers presenting themselves as members, but badges are different. I don't think there's a single group, as far as I know, who lets non-initiated people wear the actually badge (with maybe the exception of "pinning" sweethearts, in which case she still doesn't get her own pin). Almost every group lets new members wear letters of some sort before initiation and many allow letters on items for dates to functions, but I don't think anyone gives them pins of their own.
