Some organizations have made the change to deeper learning about the organization (history, deeper understanding of mission) happening as an initiated member, as well, which helps with the shorter timelines, as long as new members get a good foundation. I find that even with a (only slightly, I am not that old) longer new member period, I only remember the frivolous stuff (like we were founded on a Monday) and the more important stuff came from being a collegian then alumna member.
