I did interviews as a new member, and while they are a good way to get to know people sometimes, there are much more positive ways.

Well, any chapter that requests pledges to get ALL signatures is doing it wrong. Certainly no chapter I know does this. In fact, the chapter I work with tries to make it fun and challenging by rewarding the pledge with the most signatures, challenges them to get signatures of people who rairly show up, etc. But if they get the signatures of a majority of members (easy to do just by coming to meetings/events), they've met the requirements.
Yes, there are other ways to get pledges & members to know each other, and those are used as well as signatures/interviews.
