I wish we were allowed to do New Member exams... but you're correct, they are not allowed by Kappa nationals because they are considered hazing. I think they would be a useful tool for getting the NMs acquainted with Fraternity history outside of the required presentations. Oh well.

That's what my friend in DPhiE told me. It shocked me that girls weren't exactly required to actually learn and retain the org's history.

I mean, I guess ours isn't technically required either (maybe?), but everything is definitely highly encouraged.
