I can understand why some would consider ending undergraduate chapters - reckless behavior exposes our organizations to lawsuits and bad press. But isn't it the duty of the graduate sorors & frat to guide the younger members? My undergraduate experience pretty much sucked. Not because my chapter sorors bickered or were petty. It was bad because we didn't get the necessary guidance from our graduate chapter. It wasn't until I had been a Zeta for almost 4 years did I fully come to appreciate my sorority.
Undergrads need to have a more intense intake process for this very reason. If they aren't taught ALL of the organization's history & traditions, how can they truly appreciate it? How can to make a lifelong pledge to uplift Zeta's principles when you don't truly understand them? Notice that I said "process" which means that I do NOT condone hazing whether it be mental, emotional, or physical. But I do condone instilling a true sense of love and dedication to an organization during an aspirant's process.
