Pledging period issue

[adpiucf]

You need to find a way to work with this new rule and to promote it-- but you can also write letters and give constructive feedback to your Grand Council about why this doesn't work for you.

What's wrong with pledging the 30 men, initiating those who meet the requirements and then holding the rest over pending a standards hearing to initiate the following week? Or holding them over to repeat pledging for another 8 week cycle?

The sororities have 4-8 week new member periods. ADPi is 4-6 weeks, with new members being allowed to hold offices. Those who break a policy or don't pass an international Initiation exam may be held over until they pass the exam/have a standards hearing to determine if they should remain in the organization.

Change is difficult, but the fraternity is a constantly changing animal-- if the policy doesn't really work for large and/or successful chapters, then it won't stick.

Go over the consultant's head and talk to a membership director.
