when I initiated ours was 10 weeks, but our IHQ is pushing a 4-1-4 program which means that our pledges initiate on the 5th week now... it is helpful, because we can initiate 2 or even 3 pledge classes a semester, but we don't even get to see mid-term grades before they are supposed to initiate... we've done it for a year now, and our grades haven't dropped off noticeably, but they have tapered slightly, because we have initiated a person or two each semester that ended up failing the majority of their classes.
