Another issue is that the dawn of MIP was not the demise of the pledge process - it was gradulally being degraded and bastardized - that was the biggest nail in the coffin in my opinion. Finally, I would love a process that was longer and slightly more challenging and open than the current three weeks, but I don't see it happening any time soon. My biggest complaint about MIP is the ridiculously large "lines" that are being made at the collegiate and alumnae level; as well as the alumnae chapters that seem to use intake as a biennial fundraiser, with no goal of or effort towards membership development. There are just too many people who have letters on their chest, but nothing in their hearts and you can't even really call them check writers because they don't even stay financial.
I agree with your comment, and wish some changes could be made. But, as I detailed earlier, the conflicts continue.
