So, I have heard that if a person does art and wants to be a Laurel or if a
person does service and wants to be a Pelican someday, people have been know
to say “The only reason they do XXX is to become a peer”  BUT, a person is
not faulted if they fight and say “I plan to be a Knight someday”.  Why is
that?
 

I think that the reason that it is perceived, by some, as different is because fighters will tend to continue to fight regardless of title or rank. 
Fighting tends to be its own reward.(that's why most fighters don't care about prize's) But because people get burned out from the work that it takes to make this game run at a faster rate than any of the other things we recognize our members for,
It can be perceived by the ignorant that they are doing things for the recognition, not for the love of the game.
I
also think it is wrong when the ONLY reason a person peruses an
activity is to gain a title( i refuse to say that that sort would ever
be a peer)  and some sort of perceived power in our silly game; but
understand there is nothing wrong with wanting to better ones self.
There is nothing wrong with aspiring to be like the people you admire
or feel you can learn from. The problem comes when petty  people
project themselves and their personal shortcomings  on some one trying
to grow . Its just like calling somebody's  blows. Both actions are
rude and in poor taste.
