Drolefille: We go through stages of development with the first (all info following is solely based on my chapter) being the length of a pledge period (8-10 weeks) and the second consuming the rest of the semester plus the whole of the next semester. Then, during Winter or Summer break (depending on when you rushed) we go through the third stage which is the full rites of initiation.

I honestly think that a big part of SigEp's national success is due to their Member Development program. I feel like most Fraternities, especially mine, don't have any strong post-initiation development plans nationally.
But yes, my national Fraternity considers anything longer than a ten-week process to be considered "hazing".
