Agreed. Also, academic calendars, housing situations, campus culture, local advisor support, etc. can all affect the appropriateness of a longer new member period.

I also think, if hazing is a concern, NM's should be told on DAY ONE just what would have to happen for them not to be initiated. I think a lot of NM's have a perception that they could be blackballed or something, and I don't know of any NPC group that actually allows such a thing. I don't think breaking a pledge is easy in any group.
