This whole thing makes me glad that major changes like this in Sigma Nu have to be approved by the collegians. It would be a pretty tough sale. And if I think of just how many actually awful people our pledging program (no hazing) has kept us from sharing our secrets with, I could never support this sort of thing.

And if to comply, SAE chapters simply wait a semester to hand out a bid and initiate, what was the point of that? How many of your pledge class members are going to be picked off by other NIC groups through COB who don't have this restriction?

To each their own though. Maybe this works for y'all, but what I'm guessing is the makeup of your executive board is going to change dramatically soon and these rules are going to be rescinded before Fall recruitment.
