It gets fairly old hearing Earp and DA bark about things being illegal/against nationals/raising insurance costs etc. etc.........so I figured I'd try to explain from my point of view.
I just think that pledges should earn the right to be a member. I think that allowing them a free pass to initiation a month after they sign a bid card is horrible and bad for a chapter as a whole (I say this because I know of some chapters that do exactly this.) The "new school" attitute of having New Members, Associate Members, etc. etc. just doesn't fly too well with me.

While it may fairly old hearing DA and I , it is still to true and has been proven to many times.
If you check, DTD and LXA have either suspended, sanctioned Chapters of many sizes. You may also see that some have been closed.
A lot would depend on The Fraterity who has nerve enough to close a very strong and violating Chapter.
Sure, money from Alums means a lot, but, does the reputation of the Fraternity mean more. There is the internet, phones etc.
