I could never fathom even attempting to cram all this Sigma stuff in one week. Even in 2-3 months, it gets confusing. And the ritual isn't the same when you haven't had a chance to bond with the guys. It means nothing if you didn't have to wait and anticipate it. It's just a ceremony.

This is also one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
Sometimes things become quite drastic and chapters need to do what they have to do in order to survive. If that means making some pledges become members in a week, so be it. They will learn everything they need to know from experiencing things while being brothers.
I knew nothing as a pledge and all of my experience came to me while I was a newer member. I learned along the way and these guys could as well.
Every group is different so don't knock them for it. It's better to make an attempt like this then to simply let it die and if the chapter does go under, well they can say they went down fighting.
