Back in the olden days there were pledge skips, where a pledge class went to another chapter for a weekend. The v.p.-frat ed and maybe one other were the only initiated members to go.

We went to Beta Eta (Southern Illinois University). A couple of years later my chapter hosted the ADPi pledges from the University of Illinois--two of them were my (biological) sister's dorm roommates and the ADPi chapter at my university couldn't/didn't want to accommodate them. (One small step for Panhellenic cooperation....)

Nowadays risk managment would trump even the limitations of six- to eight-week pledge periods and students' varied work/class schedules in making a pledge skip impossible.
