our process is generally longer than most NPCs on campus. We go about 10.5 weeks. We DID cut it down to 8 weeks to see if things would work better, but they didn't. The girls felt rushed having a test every single week (we don't do one big test, just a lot of lil ones instead), having to complete our Opal Interviews, or getting to know each individual sister and vice versa, and having to balance school work, jobs, boyfriends, families, etc... 8 weeks was just too short to really get to know all of the girls and for them to get to know and feel comfortable around us... and there were only 6 of them. Now we have 29 newbies... i think 10 weeks gives time to enjoy your new member semester, bond with the rest of your class, and just be... well... the newbies. i don't know how others can initiate after 4 weeks... nor do i understand the process of holding nms over til the next semester. guess it just depends on the sorority... or fraternity.
