Good question! I don't know if a total freeze on pledging is the answer. It may pose a short term solution, especially in answer to destructive lawsuits. In the long term, however, I think BGLOs would greatly suffer, as a lot of enthusiasm and dedication is often renewed by the creation of new members. The idea that pledging is often not done "right" can be directly attributed to the need for orgs to rethink their procedures, methods, and most importantly, the very people to which they extend membership.
