How did you deal with sentiments such as: - "this is the way it has always been"
- "it teaches respect"
- "they have to earn it...its the best worst time of your life, but when your fnished you really feel like you have earned something"
- "If we eliminate that part of the pledge process, they won't be nearly as respected"
- "I did it, so should they"
- "It's not so bad...and its gotten much better"
- etc
What was your "pledging" process like? I am looking for new and innovative ideas.
Please HELP! |
What kind of organization is this? If this is a national organization, I would think that you have an official national process that you should be following - nothing more, nothing less. Follow it.
