The New Member period is 6-8 weeks where the New Members learn about the values and history of Delta Gamma. It get's them familiar with the women in the chapter and the things that we do...there is nothing negative about it at all.
There is no hazing, no paddleing, nothing. The worst part of being a new member is being kept in suspense the week before you find out who your big sister is!

We are the exact same way, and we do not make our new members "work" for their letters. Matter of fact, they can wear letters as soon as they receive their bid. But our chapter was established last year. It seems to me that fairly new chapters shower new members with love and gifts, where as the older chapters (at least at my school) have a more strict new member period. I do agree that the purpose of the new member period is to learn about the organization's history and become familar with the sisters of the chapter.
