They're idiots if they're going to go BMP at Bama, when they come back.
Greek life will eat them alive.

As I understand it, they will not have a choice. All new chapters - which include re-colonizations - are to be Balanced Men chapters.

Yeah, I know.
That's why I said sado-masochists earlier.
They will be closing chapters faster than they can open, soon.

I can't say you're not correct, depending on the school, but what else would you have them do? With all the responsibilities and regulations they have to carry as a national org, how else can they respond to this kind of nonsense?:

. . . one of the pledges went to DCH Regional Medical Center for burn treatment several days after the incident occurred. The wounds were discovered in an advanced stage of infection, and the pledge suffered a collapsed lung as a result of the infection.

I realize that.
But there has to be alternatives to a program which, from what I understand, takes no knowledge of the fraternity to actually join. Among other problems with it, including bidding everyone.
edit: I was reading my Divine 9 book (the one by Lawerence Ross...it's not very good) and a respected Kappa Alpha Psi named Travis Smiley said:
"That we have to do something about the ongoing incidence of hazing, while at the same time, maintaining some type of pledge system, which allows the old heads, the old school members to have respect for the new system. It's one thing to do away with hazing, which I'm all for and it can't happen fast enough for me, but it is another thing to radically restructure the pledge process to the extent that the old heads don't give the new initiates any respect."

That is wrong. Maybe not be a fan of BMP, but to say that BMP members has no knowledge of the fraternity is false.
