I do not understand the value of the extremely truncated pledging/new member period. I don't think it helps to produce dedicated and committed new members. At the time we were having first degree ceremony in my chapter, today's chapters are preparing to initiate. Hats off to Chi Omega for standing firm. If they can do it, why can't other groups?

I completely agree with AZTheta and Katmandu. Unfortunately, I think a lot of universities were pressuring for this, too. I hate the fast initiation. I think it has harmed GLOs tremendously. It has has a huge impact on the bonds of sisterhood that we hold dear.
I am thankful that we are not moving to the policy of SAE, which has imposed initiation within what... 3-5 DAYS of accepting a bid?
