Seldom / rarely around?
A couple of posts have mentioned encouraging pledges/new members to get signatures from members who are seldom around.
My question is: WHY should it be such a big deal to track down and get to know a pretty uninvolved member? I realize there may be some stellar members whose academic commitments, work demands, volunteer activities, and other pressures on their time limit their hanging-around time. But if there are members who are basically ghosts and don't associate with the chapter, I don't see any special value in prodding or requiring new members to get to know them.
Of course, I also think that getting signatures is fairly pointless and as others have said, a form of hazing.
