i wish that the new member period had never changed. being a pledge for a whole quarter, returning a pledge after the winter break and anticipating my initiation sometime in january never made me feel that i wasn't part of the chapter.
all the sororities pledge classes initiated in january. some girls depledged, but not many members resigned once they were initiated.
now as an advisor, i have at least one girl from each new member class quit sometime after her initiation. i hate the thought of disgruntled girls running around with the knowledge of our initiation ceremony. perhaps if the new member(pledge)period was longer, the girls who were going to resign would do so as new members, not as newly initiated members.
