Rites of Passage VS 1 Single Ritual
I am a member of a BMP chapter, and have a friend at a "tradional" chapter. We were just discussing how we both agreed with the idea of having several rituals was a better idea, in that it takes longer for a member to learn all that is to know about the fraternity. Unlike a pledge system, where you learn everything after just one semester.
I like the idea that if someone drops or is kicked out after their first semester, they havn't learned all the "secrets." I was just wondering how others felt about this.
--ps i'm not here to discuss what is in the ritual or how it's ran--
