I'm just amazed at the outfits - they look so sharp - but is the cost part of pledging?? WOW

Slightly not a tradition: As a Fraternity Man I wish that the powers that be would not consider learning the history of our organizations "hazing". It is very annoying when you want to have a conversation about history and the newer members don't know what the history is all about. I know that the Sororities get in trouble for testing and quizzing but that is pathetic. Why would anyone want to be a part of an organization without knowing the history?

There are others things that chapters used to do that are now considered "hazing" but in all reality it is not. Hazing should be better defined and people shouldn't get in trouble for things that don't demean or embarass candidates, pledges, new members or whatever other orgs call them.

Definitely agree with bagging all of the "politically correct" terms NPC put into place (even now, most people don't use them) and bringing back interviews and more learning of history, etc to pledgeship. It shouldn't be the ONLY time you learn about your sorority but you should know the basics before initiation.

Also, if you are rushing/pledging as a first semester freshman, you should have to make grades before initiation.

FYI...Chi Omega still does this (we never changed!)

I miss longer pledge education periods. More time to learn the history, policies and procedures, and to learn about each other. Being required to make grades gives you a greater appreciation for achieving initiation.
