I am sorry that many of you don't see how new member exams make some women feel uncomfortable, especially based on the fact that they seperate out the new members from the active members, cause some new members to be singled out as inadequate or stupid, and generally add unnecessary stress to the new member period. Many strong GLOs have implemented very successful new member programs that do not include examinations yet turn out women who are very loyal to and knowledgeable about their GLO.

Sorry Laura, but I also disagree. Tests in general make me uncomfortable, does that mean my university is hazing me and I can sue them? No.
In a perfect world, new members would learn about their GLO just for the sake of wanting to know about the history...but it's not a perfect world and a lot of girls will make the excuse that they have better things to do with their time (as you yourself said).
