Sorry about the long post. To answer your question, nothing can be done. New members are in the proverbial Catch 22. Intake programs are designed to meet the specifications of lawyers, banks and insurance companies. Intake has nothing to do with creating and fostering the fraternal spirit, training new members, nor indoctrinating them into the philosophy and purpose of the org. MIP is designed to gain membership in compliance with non-members guidelines. There used to be a distinct difference among the 4 sororities. Now they are indistinguishable. Now interests do research on the net, read In Search of Sisterhood, go to everyones rush, knows everyones call, party strolls, then decide on a sorority, 2 weeks later write a check and a weekend of MIP, voila!, you have an instant AKADSTZPBSGR. You might as well flip a coin. It is the pledge process (the indoctrination period) that differentiates the org. Without that, you basically have the same org, different colors.
