Some girls signed their bids very late (or just started recruitment towards the end) and literally had 1 week to pick their bigs, then big lil week, then a week later initiation, so all in all, they've been in the sorority for less than 4 weeks and are now initiated. I was lucky enough to have about 4 weeks until big picks. It hasn't even been 8 weeks yet since I signed my bid and I'm initiated.
I was just a bit confused by this 8 week new member period because we obviously didnt follow it.

Different sororities have pledge programs of different lengths. However, if the shortened pledge period isn't working and it isn't a national directive, I would definitely get together as a pledge class and let the sisters know that it wasn't an enjoyable experience and many of you were close to quitting. Something that makes half of the pledge class unhappy is not a good thing to have in practice.
