Until we stop glorifying pledging and talking about the way we pledged there will be problems with the MIP process.There is no PLEDGING in the NPHC. Someone mentioned the fact that interests want to be hazed so they won't be called "paper" . Why the need to satisfy an interest? We have a process to follow and as a member why would I jeporadize my pearls, which I proclaim to love so dearly, to give an initiate the right to say they were pledged.
The only paper any interested party should be concerned with is the one that says Mary Sue is a member of XYZ Sorority or Fraternity. What you did to earn that paper is between you and the members that brought you through. But you have it and it has been signed, sealed and delivered from your National office.
That 1000lb weight is getting heavier, note the number of suspended undergrad chapters. If they can't follow the rules we can't allow a few to jeopordize the future for all.
So eventually all will be disbaned.
