Giving the new members the information to learn for a prize has a similar effect of giving them information for a quiz. Just that rather than punishing those that fail, you reward the ones who pass.
I think both have a place in fraternal and sororal education, just as they do in schools where I have seen PBIS introduced.

We used positive reinforcement in other ways as well (rewards for best class attendance that week, point system for attendance at non-required events, etc.) I don't know how other [Kappa] chapters run, but it worked for ours.
As for the lack of an exam, I know that when the day came for Initiation, we were just as well educated as any of the actives.
I also always thought that it was nice that our Founder's Day sat smack in the middle of the new member period, because it made a lot of the historical education seem a lot more tangible and relevant.
