Fraternities and sororities are prohibited from holding social, new member education or initiation activities.

I suspect that few - if any - chapters are ready to hold initiation at this time. Thus they will simply postpone it until the new member education period is completed. But how does that work?
Do the chapters simply stop the whole education process and pledges (new members) "put down" the pledge book? Are new members allowed to "learn on their own"? How would something like that be monitored?
While I understand that the UCF administration may be concerned that hazing and alcohol might be included in the "pledge process"; it seems counterproductive to completely stop the new member education - especially when it comes to teaching about the GLO's values and beliefs etc.

So if this isn't resolved by the end of spring semester, the whole pledge class is “held over" until the fall semester? If so, it seems possible that some chapters (mainly thinking fraternities here), could continue with an unapproved "new member education" over the summer - especially since they might not be under the watchful eye of the University.

No kidding. Something "big" must have happened.
