Although I was relieved to complete our quarter-long pledge period, late September through early January, I was able to really appreciate what had transpired during that time when we were initiated. Our PC grew close, I bonded with my Big Brother (who was so important to me during my freshman year), and it gave me time to consider if it was something I wanted to make a longtime commitment to.
You don't get this kind of experience in 6 to 7 weeks. I'm not sure that gives new members/pledges enough time to experience what true brotherhood and sisterhood is.
