As I have indicated in other discussions, I would like to see more stringent membership requirements, not necessarily in terms of GPA but in those subjective areas like good character, sisterliness and high ideals. If you are selecting good people who are willing to work, they will gladly be 'pledged' to show their committment. Those who are not willing to pledge are overwhelmingly not willing to work.
The specter of hazing looms because noone wants to go to jail. If someone allow themselves to be subjected to what today is considered hazing, they can be barred for life from Delta. If the process was more like pledging, then they would know exactly what to expect and adapt themselves to that expectation or seek scholarship, sisterhood or service elsewhere.

Essentially, I agree with everything that you say.
