MIP and That's It....
This is a personal opinion "scenario" question it's not about "Skating or Pledging: What's Better?" but how would YOU treat someone who skates after they become a member. So, if someone skates and splits your chapter (he/she didn't receive a line name or anything) but after becoming a member he/she works tirelessly for the organization, does his/her best to live by the founding ideals and principles of the organization, and refrains from wearing paraphernalia, using the hand-sign or performing the call in public because a 'pledged' member told him/her not to do so; how would you view this person in regards to your chapter and the organization? After a period of working within the chapter would you feel as though he/she earned the right to wear paraphernalia and to do those things which signify membership, such as take pictures using the hand-sign?
