When I pledged Alpha Phi Omega, I think my pledge period was eight weeks, maybe ten. This was ten years ago so it could have changed since then.

APO National Policy (National Pledge Standards) is that is should be between 6 to 10 weeks. It's up to each chapter to determine its own length, within those guidelines. Some chapters, due to university policy, have to make theirs shorter.
The chapter I work with (and used to be pledgemaster for) has an 8 week pledge period of 8 pledge training classes, bookended by the pledge and initiation ceremonies, which bring the pledge period to 10 weeks. Trying to go shorter doesn't work, as we have to pile too much info on each class.
