Plus by initiating right away, what if the particular person doesn't work out? Either your chapter made a mistake on giving them a bid or they find out it's not right for them. Then you're both stuck b/c they're an initiated member. What if they got hazed, and want to drop, but can't join another group b/c they've already been initiated.

In my view, there are just as many, if not more, drawbacks of initiating right away intead of having a new member period. [/B]
Exactly!! I totally agree... this is like dating. You dont marry someone at the second date! You get to know them to see if you like them .... same thing here. You need time to adjust to a new commitment especially if this is your first college semester with classes etc.....
