I thought Chi Omega held off on initiation so that the new members' grades could come in - as many NPC sororities used to do - but I'm not a Chi O, nor was Chi O represented at my school, so I could be dead wrong.

When setting the length of a new member period, you have to strike the right balance between giving the NMs enough time to meet the sisters/brothers and their pledge sisters/brothers, learn about the org, and decide if they really want to make that final commitment, vs. not making them wait so long that they begin to wonder if they'll ever be initiated, lose hope, and depledge.
