well, i know my alma matter is not far behind on a program such as this. when i was a phi in 1995, we had a mandatory 4 week max. pledge period...as mandated by the school. it lasted a few years and in the past 3ish yrs it has been changed to 6.
i really think the best course of action is for the national organizations to get together with schools when they are going to move to something like this. a national rep from each org present on the campus should be invited to come and discuss it in a roundtable fashion. the reps could describe the criteria that they currently use to grade each chapter and try to find some type of compromise.
ideally, i think that the hq of each org on the campus should submit the grade it gave to the chapter. they could send along the criteria by which the chapters are graded, the overall score and the "name" the org uses for that score. no specific info about where the chapter received/lost points.
i also wonder if the schools are really just trying to get more adult supervision into the fraternities and sororities.
