My fraternity wasn't only built on community service it was also built on brotherhood. How can someone call someone else a brother or think they know a person in a weekend. Also how can 30 someones get to know everyone in a weekend? I don't think it's possible. Plus they didn't earn it. Has it hurt community service? Maybe not but if they wanted to do community service and not pledge those people could have joined a myriad of church or community organization and done the same thing without pledging a fraternity or sorority. I think for most organization you'd be amazed how similar pledge process are within that organization. I would be willing to be that a frat bruh. of mine on the west coast may not have the exact same experience but a very similar one. You are right though a movement should be made to change the MIP. The cause has been tried in the past and I am sure it will continue to be tried in the future.
