You guys should check out the visions program Phi Sig implemented. It not only is for new members but through out the program you learn how to implement it as a sister and then as an alumni. From our website the program is meant to help foster commitment to lifelong learning, inclusiveness and leadership through service. I went to convention last year and I can honestly tell you if chapters sit down and actually read the values and implement the program it can help them not only as sisters but as collegians and in the future.
If my national were to read this and see what chapter I am from they would floored, my chapter just had their charter taken away because of hazing accusations. These accusations were never found to be true nor false, and I am in no way admitting to the accusations because as far as i know they are false accusations. The reason I am telling you all this is because I 100% believe in tradition( I come from a medium size school in PA) but when it comes to hazing tradition is a cop out. If you are a top tier sorority or fraternity at your respective institution whether or not you haze will not make a difference. Tradition and ritual should be kept private with-in the chapter so regardless of whether hazing or not your membership should not be affected. If it is people are going by a reputation that proceeds you and if that is the case they want to be in the chapter for the wrong reasons.
I fully belive that if people actually sit and read and think about the programs like Visions and the Balanced Man they will see that they can work and can implement them in everyday life, it should not negativley affect your chapter.
