Gotcha. I know they were implemented (at my alma mater, anyway) in the wake of BMP, and the guys were.... resentful. They described them very similarly.
I think I was understanding it as a halfway point in a conversion of their pledging process. Like, taking the traditional pledge process, then adding in that specific philosophical framework, then a few years down the road implementing something like BMP. But I'm out of my lane on this one.
