I have to agree with Laura on this one as well.
This is something that was stressed to me during my pledge period, and it mentioned in our ceremonies. Simply, the way in which one member carries themselves can cause discredit to anyone else who worthily wears the pin or letters of your organization.
One of the consequences of joining an organization that is bigger than yourself is that you immediatly become associated with all members past, present, and future. Is it fair to be judged by their actions and not your own? Probably not, but I think you have to agree that we, as humans, do this constantly. Keep in mind that you also benefit when people think highly of your organization. So it does work both ways.
