I HATE the quick initiation. In my experience as a chapter advisor, it leads to a lack of knowledge about founders, ideals, history and ritual, a lack of appreciation for the commitment needed for sorority membership and a subsequent potential for burn out, lack of engagement and dis interest down the road.
The new members in large chapters don't even know the names and back stories of the members and making them learn those names, majors, home towns and stories is considered hazing. What is wrong with a 15-18 week pledge period? Hats off to Chi Omega for resisting the trend and sticking with a semester long new member period.
