actually, i was initiated after 4 weeks. my campus created a policy that all pledge periods needed to be 4 weeks long. prior to '95, pledge programs were anywhere from 6-12 weeks, depending on the chapter. in order to decrease hazing, and probably a few other reasons, the college decided that no group could pledge longer than 4 weeks (sororities and fraternities). i have heard that the campus has changed it to 5 weeks since i graduated.
