We also have a six week period which is new member education. I think it is better this way because if someone is initiated within 72 hours, they don't really know anything about the organization, the history, or the members that are currently a part of it. This six week period helps them feel comfortable before they fully commit. It helps them realize also, that it is a COMMITMENT because they understand how important it is to the girls that are sharing it with them. I don't think that initiating sooner is the only way to handle hazing. If it is not tolerated at all, then it will not take place. We have very strict rules as to what hazing is, and we know that breaking those rules could lead to some very serious reperussions. Also, we respect our new members as sisters and we are glad they want to be a part of our organizations, so there is no reason to have them "prove" that they should be members.
ETA: Also, it is fun and I enjoyed it!
