I do think that making people jump through hoops and playing other "power games" just because "that's the way we've always done things" should have no place in our programs.
If I REALLY OFFENDED you (easily offended?) then I apologize. I am proud of what I posted and I think it speaks a lot about my personal values and integrity. It's MUCH better than calling someone lame and ripping on their post--don't you think?

Like I said, we did institute sisters interviewing pledges - but even without that, unless the people involved are idiots, most people are naturally going to ask related questions of someone who is asking questions of them. The point is that with as busy as people are, you need a structure to make sure it gets done.
I agree that power games are bs. Like I said, those were never involved in either of my pledge programs.
And yes I am easily offended, when someone dismisses something important to me in the same breath with "games." I'm sure you'd be happy if someone said "now go do your little sorority thing" when you were on your way to a convention or workshop.
The answer to your last question is: no.
