My sorority does not allow drinking during the pledge process, which is 10wks, we are also as a whole national sorority not allowed to drink while wearing letters or any and all sorority nalia.
To me I think it is a good idea to have a "dry" pledge process. It's easier, since you don't have that added pressure to drink, plus
the sorority won't have to deal with a situation in which a PNM drinks, gets wasted and then does something that would reflect badly upon the sorority.
Yes, 33girl some would say that it is hazing , but I would rather be hazed in this manner then in the ''regular " sense of the word. I was one of those 21 and over pledges so legally I had every right to drink, but it was only 10wks and I survived .
