The flexibility is also critical for schools on trimesters (like mine). With only ten weeks to play with we were tight on time. Week 1 was planning, week 2 was recruitment, and the new member period started week 3. We had to conduct initiation before week 10 for everyone's sanity (that's when all the papers, reports, and presentations were). All chapters on our campus initiated during the same week so I would assume we all either had the same range from our respective HQs or all got exceptions for our school calendar. It was never a problem- we were all well oiled machines because we did this process three times a year. Our total was never realistic so all groups conducted COB/CORs... But that's another story!
