A while back, they tried to get us to agree to make our houses subject to Department of Public Safety. This would have made it so that DPS could have raided our houses at any time for any reason absent notice, a warrant, or anything. They could do things like random liquor checks, etc.

Of course, since our houses are on private property, we didn't consent as consent would have been idiotic.

They do things like this every few years when the Greek Life Coordinator comes back from a convention with a bunch of nutty ideas.

Though it's probable that they are referring to test closets, the first thing that came to my mind were those rumors about chapters making their new members catalogue /memorize upperclassmen wardrobes.

And can someone explain to me just what the big deal is about getting member signatures?

My SAI chapter started that as a way to help new members learn about the organization. They were supposed to get something like three signatures a week and in order to get one, they had to correctly answer a question about SAIs history as posed by a sister. We all thought it was a great way to help the new members study for the test and have additional interaction with someone besides the New Member Educator.

I know of at least one other chapter that requires signatures just as a way to get to know each sister better. Why is it so bad?

It was explained to me that it's because it's a one-sided activity (or can be). The pledge is supposed to learn all kinds of stuff about the active, but the active doesn't learn anything about the pledge.
