The pledge model chapters are more likely to have RM issues related to hazing, though.

Or I'm thinking that the SEC was founded as BMP and the alumni volunteers and advisors obviously came from "traditional" chapters as there were no BMP chapters so they may have brought in uhhh, rituals we perceive as hazing and RM that Renaissance brothers wouldn't think of doing. Sticking with SigEp as an example there was a chapter in outhern California that had an incident in the past year that involved alumni and fire, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that alumni are involved in plating the seed or perpetuating it.
I do think there is some advantage to bringing in new alumni and alumnae initiates for colonies as they will only know the current HQ party line and follow what the organization as a whole wants, or in the case of a desirable school provide structure where there are no alumni or alumni who are unable or unwilling to be involved.
Oh and the article, the journalist's name was MISSY. I have never seen that as a government name, but as a nickname for Melissa.
