We have a similar practice. Except it comes in the form of some sort of chapter party/sisterhood event for everyone. Since half of my sorority experience involved planning, coordinating and volunteering for events, this was good practice. And it teaches the future of the house to work together. At least that's how I view it/justify it.
Random side bar: I dated a ZBT for some time a few years ago. Granted they were a colony, but I SWEAR their "pledge" period lasted longer than 72 hours. I know because I remember my sisters stealing pledge pins from them! (Crazy practice that used to occur A LOT a few years ago.) All my bf at the time said was that they didn't haze and that new members went to meetings. The BDD would hold meetings with the new members at different times, and then maybe a month or two later they'd get initiated.
