In the original post it was said that if the new members didn't get the interviews they didn't get to "join". I assume this means be initiated.
As for signatures, the guy I dated in college had to have the signature of every member on his 5 ft. tall paddle before he could be initiated. And these were really just the persons signed name. Some would right their "words of widsom" in addition, but most didn't. Some of the guys made them "earn" the signatures, some would make themselves unavailable to the new members until just hours before initiation. If they didn't like the new member, they would refuse to sign it. I don't know if the new member educator could override the signature thing or not, I doubt it.
