I'd rather have 30 women pledge who will truly make a lifetime commitment, than have 70 women pledge and have half of them be gone by their senior year.
I'm obviously not saying that ALL women do that - but when I read things on here like "at my school, you're made fun of if you're a senior and still active" it usually is from the chapters that have first semester rush with huge pledge classes.

Are there initiatives to get some consensus across NPC sororities regarding the "lifetime commitment" aspect? Or would that always vary by the sorority or even chapter?
It seems that many of you always acknowledged it as a lifetime commitment whereas many did not and even scoffed at the idea.
