As an Old Skooler who pledged in 1986 and made lines up until 1989, right before MIP, I can say that it was not the mentality of the sorors/frats but the changed mentality of the people who were applying for membership. The selection process changed and the mentality of applicants changed along with the 'law of the land'.
Pledging is/was not the problem, the definition of hazing is the problem.
How can we address the problem?
-first suspend intake for all orgs
-develop and STICK TO revised selection guidelines
-reinstitute interest groups and set guidelines for them
-reinstitute intake with well-defined PLEDGING guidelines
-TRAIN sorors/frats to perform pledging properly
-lobby to update the 'law' regarding hazing
-educate the public about what is RIGHT about pledging
Just some thoughts but I don't know how they can be implemented in this litigious society.

Well put, Soror. Sometimes we get caught up in talking about what is wrong with a thing. I appreciate the suggestons instead of just complaints.
