They can't possible understand the awesome gift they are being given, not nearly in the way that someone who has pledged for eight weeks understands.

try telling a woman who has been heavily cut during recruitment but still got a bid from the house that truly was for her that she isn't aware of the importance of being a select few. i promise you that you'll get a completely different answer.
i respect all of your viewpoints but i can't help but disagree. maybe it's because i am so used to my national policy, but whatever. i can understand wanting to keep a tradition but no one should be allowed to control waht a nm wears or doesn't wear. my chapter had it's own traditions about wearing lavaliers but htat didn't mean that we were going to get upset because a new member had one. it just meant that the big would be dissappointed because she wouldn't get to buy one for her little.
wearing letters is really such a superficial thing. whatever you say, it's not the letters but the idea behind them that matters. my letters are important to me, but not as important as the sisters that connect themselves to me through them.
