I won't go into details but here's my opinion: If you want interested members who fully understand the history and significance of your organization and can work succesfully together as a whole group, exhibiting selfless sisterly traits, then I don't see how you can be against a REAL pledge process.

I couldn't agree with this more. There is a big difference between pledging and hazing. Our pledges better know who James Holland is. Thats important. They will never be touched with a paddle or forced to drink, but they better know damn well the history of our fraternity, what the helping hand means, the greek alphabet, our creeed, etc. Otherwise I have no problem with black balling everyone. I would rather have 20 people in a chapter who are all very dedicated to the ideals than 45 people where only 20 people care. We don't need extra dead weight numbers just to make people happy that there are a lot of us. There is strength in numbers, true, but a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
