MIP is controlled pledging. At least it is in Delta. The bleeding you refer to is NOT part of MIP. It is hazing. And no folx are not being hurt more frequently than before. When MIP was put into place it was because the hazing had almost reached epidemic proportions--it was the norm, not the exception. And guess what back in the day most HBCUs had a limit of six week pledge periods, anyway--some even shorter. Truth be told, a pledge period over 6 weeks long was mostly about servitude, and how many people you could get to drop line.
