Obviously they saw something about the fraternity that piqued their interest so why not make sure they do get that interest fulfilled.
On the surface, I agree -- but it isn't a prefect world. Some men discover they can't afford to stay in, don't make grades, or simply decide they've made a mistake.

Initiating 100% of any pledge class is the goal, but it probably isn't attainable in the real world.
