I'm confused as to what exactly this means. Would new fraternity members be initiated the minute they sign? Would there still be a pledge / new member period where the new members are afforded all rights of brothers except for participating in ritual and wearing the badge or coat of arms? Where is the line drawn?
IMO, there has to be *some* new member / pledge period. Each NM takes the time to get to know the GLO and its members, its history, its culture, etc. and then decides whether to become a full initiate or to depledge. That's not a decision you can really make during a few days of rush.
