Everyone knows that being forced to do something out landish is wrong. Greek life shouldn't be based on proving that you deserve letters. At my campus thats one of the reasons why people shy away from joining. Greek life should be about expansion. Members should WANT others to expand themselves in a positive manner and represent their org because of that. Our new members learn about our sisterhood. And they do things that sisters do, as part of their education process. Letters aren't something to dangle in front of someone as a way to get them to run circles, it should be about producing people who care about what you care about and placing them in the community. I think many organizations simply have lost the true meaning of what their letters stand for and now they go along with whatever they *think* should happen, during pledge. Sure you have to have respect for your letters, but you can get that without being suject to degrading, demeaning, or mindless tasks. A sweatshirt with XYZ written on it, just isnt worth loss of self dignity and respect
