LSU's Panhellenic has reportedly adopted new sanctions for bid promising, which is supposedly a problem there sometimes:

Until now, the penalty for bid promising there was a fine and possibly some sort of probation.
The new policy, according to the article ^, is:
"Chapters found in violation of this policy will result in social suspension on and off campus for the fall semester,” as stated in the Rules Governing Recruitment. This means no exchanges, no formals, semi-formals, grubs or grab-a-dates for an entire semester if found responsible for promising a potential member an invitation to a chapter.
Of course, I guess the bid promising would have to be reported in the first place, then investigated.
Is it likely that the new policy will produce the results LSU's Panhel wants? Do I look like I know? Anyone with good knowledge of LSU recruitment care to discuss?
