I hate the 6 week new member period my org instituted. As a former advisor, I can attest to the fact that in that truncated time, new members do not adequately learn the history, founders, values, philanthropy, creeds, purposes or even the names of the actives in a large chapter, nor do they have time to adjust to being in an organization. If it's worth joining, it's worth learning and preparing for membership.
Bring back the semester system! It's only a few more weeks, and I can't be convinced that those few weeks make such a difference in retention or the propensity to haze. However, our nationals think it is great. Me, not so much.
