This argument about tougher pledging policies goes straight to the heart of what is tearing apart some of the best and brightest.
I won't go into details but here's my opinion: If you want interested members who fully understand the history and significance of your organization and can work succesfully together as a whole group, exhibiting selfless sisterly traits, then I don't see how you can be against a REAL pledge process.
