depends on the chapter. there are still several traditional chapters that have a real pledgeship and make their pledges earn it. here in the south, most BMP chapters do not adhere to national's guidelines for BMP.
personally, i believe SigEp nationals only created BMP to limit the lawsuits any fraternity at the national level faces. they turned their back on tradition to save their own butts. any SigEP chapter worth its salt does not adhere to the BMP. BMP chapters tend to be less selective (an oasis of social progressive toolbags) and the laughing stock of their respective greek system. i doubt the founders of SigEp would have wanted their fraternity to resemble anything near of what it has become.
