As far as your second point, I can see that as a good system, but if anything, NPC groups seem to be moving in the opposite direction; they want very few distinctions between what new members can do and what initiated members do.

Before initiation we (I can't speak for the whole NPHC, but it is a safe assumption) are not New Members we are candidates (or whatever term the org chooses). The only distinctions I see between new and seasoned members is the length of time one is in the org. For example I have only been a member of AKA since 12/3/06 where as SummerChild (I just wanted to use someone for an example) may have joined 10 (or more)years ago. She and I have the same rights with in AKA and responsibilities as Sorors (unless she holds a position that requires more responsiblity in her chapter).
