You're right. Some "old heads" do see change in an negative light but usually come around in the end. Some changes are inevitable and need to occur for an organization to grow, we understand that.

Other changes are made from those outside the organization, like a school's administration. And, these changes, although on the UG level, affect all members who interact with PMs.

Many changes have been made in recent years as schools crack down harder and harder to prevent opportunities for hazing to occur. Some "old heads" are resistant to these changes as well because it differs from their experience. But, it's either play by the rules or lose school recognition/chapter status, etc. Therefore, we accept those changes as well.

What you have stated (in bold), I see as a change that is completely unacceptable.
