Well said, Nupe4Life.
For the past 2 years I've had the joyous responsibility - as an undergrad - of redirecting my chapter's intake process from a hazing process to an fully functioning MIP process. It's been torturous for me - much worse than anything (and that was quite a bit) I endured while I 'pledged' - but it has proven successful and will continue to be successful. Is there a happy medium? Only if members first observe MIP then work (and it very hard work - much harder than swinging wood or belittling someone) to EDUCATE IN A BROTHERLY/SISTERLY MANNER their new inductees. Remember it is our priority as Sorors/Frat to caringly and carefully facilitate the elevation of our new inductees to the level of true Soror/Frat. Emancipated minds will understand what I mean, but those of you still warped by your shackles will twist my words.
