I think that he means that some of the others are adapting similar programs. I have some of the issues with our own Advantage program - which is a lot about completing goals on your own - which we went to after our previous pledge program, which was group group group 24/7. A good pledge program should be a mix of individual challenges and group challenges - not just one or the other.
@DSTChaos - yes, there used to not be such a thing as standardized pledge programs. As long as you passed the membership exam, you were good to go. The only pledging material we had from our national office when I pledged (mid 80s) was our Encounter book, which told our history, had a list of our chapters, a list of the other NPC groups w/ their colors/mascots/etc, a list of NIC groups, and a basic summary of what sorority life was like. It was around 40 pages long. The Advantage materials now are prob a 200 page book with activities, a member educator's guide....I could go on but you get the idea.
