The current M.I.P. is just a plain abomination. Period. Now I don't agree with beating people from sundown till sun up. That's the antithesis of our organizations, in my opinion. But there's needs to be something more substantial than just two weekends which everyone regards as a joke and lacks legitimacy to the majority of the fraternity.
My question is:
What are YOU doing to change your organization? I'm trying to push the issue of membership intake where and when I can. If we don't address this issue Alpha will not last another century. No NPHC org will. Period.

I understand what you are saying and agree. I would like to see us go back to the 'old' way of pledging without the physical and mental abuse involved. The problem is you would have to make sure EACH member of your org understands this, financial and non-finacial members, since it seems like it is the non-financial members that cause the most problems.
I came in under the 'old' way and was online for six (6) weeks. In addition to my line sisters, big sister and advisor, I had my study packet to guide me and was given assignments that helped me learn more about my Sorority. I also think that duirng a longer pledge process, it gives the pledges a chance to bond with each other and really get to know one another.
Oh, I think we will last another century. I know of members not only in my org, but in others, who will come out of the grave to help their org if necessary. But, seriously, I can definitely speak for SGR, and I asuume the other orgs are doing this too, is that we have programs and issues that we support and are passionate about and we will not let those issues die. If for nothing else, through that our orgs will survive.
