DTD: doing good
Saw the new issue of the DTD magazine today, and it contains three excellent stories/journals by participants in their three summer leadership programs - sailing, expedition, and Bethany (founding site).
All of these programs involve only about 20 or less, plus a few leaders, for a week, but all made big impressions on the authors (Of course, I assume if the guy wrote negative, it would have never been printed).
These articles make me wonder about something similar for a pledge program:
a weekend retreat on/near campus, a week in the woods/ocean/conf. ctr. (during a school holiday), and a second weekend on/near the campus, ending with initiation.
I think it might be worth a try.
