I find it ridiculous that people are being initiated who don't know their group's history, have made little effort to know the active brothers or sisters, and who do the least amount possible and don't even understand the concept of wanting to do something to make their group better - but it is happening, because the hazing rules have gone too far. As I've said a million times HAZING AND PLEDGING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

Agreed wholeheartedly. There can still be pledging without hazing, and it should be a probationary as well as an educational period. There are probationary periods for everything else in life, so why not with a sorority? If you're on a sports team, you're not going to start in your first game ever. If you start at a new job, you won't receive benefits until 90 days after the start date to make sure you're going to stay there. Why should this be any different?
