I don't see why, if you really want to use interviews, you couldn't incorporate them into your new member education under a controlled situation. Instead of doing icebreakers (which IMO are more embarassing than interviews and should be considered hazing! LOL), you could set up a situation where, after each meeting, or on a new member retreat, or whatnot, five of your new members and five actives each pair up and then they interview each other -- then every ten minutes they switch. If you did five girls at a time after each new member meeting, you could meet all the girls in most chapters (and I think that chapters that are much over 50 or 60 actives should definitely NOT require interviews!). If it was optional ("but highly encouraged"), I don't see how this could be construed as hazing anymore than icebreakers are. In a situation like this it really IS just an icebreaker.
Although if your GLO's policy forbid that, don't take my word on it!
