Some women who pledged an entire semester think that it needs to be re-instituted, but some women (like my bio sister) see no difference and are happy with the change.
I'm curious why you would have loved a longer NM period? What did you feel was missing?

Personally, my NM period was slightly longer, about 10 weeks because I was a founder of my chapter. However, I noticed in later NM classes that they felt they were rushed through the NM period, and didn't learn as much as the founding class did. Also I think we would have had less problems with newly initiated members if they had more time as a NM. Of course this is just IMO.
