I think my statement was mistakenly a little too broad, I didn't mean that all NPC organizations have that problem, at bigger schools, with many more NPC organizations and a bigger portion of the population interested in being greek, I can totally see how the process works and is beneficial. But at my particular campus it just doesn't seem to fit the demographics of the students here.
I want to make it clear that we in no way haze our girls to make them prove they are "worthy" of being apart of our sisterhood. Our process is much like an educational experience, where we are guiding the girls into the women we know they can become as someone previously expressed. The only thing we do a little different is we have our girls mimic some of the things we do when we're active, such as plan a sisterhood, a philanthropy and a fundraiser as a class so that they can get a feel for what they are getting in to.
We want to make sure we have girls coming in that are going to really be passionate about what they are apart of, and will really be involved and add something to help further improve the org. I think we all can agree that the saddest thing to see is a girl that joins an organization and ends up being unhappy because she wasn't ready for what was coming, I think a lot of girls(more so w/ smaller chapters, less hands, more work) are surprised by how much work and dedication it takes behind the scenes.
A girl is only dropped when there is a serious concern. When a problem is brought to our attention we don't just take it to a vote and thats that. We discuss it at length, find solutions to help the girl, talk to the girl about the problem and give her time to improve on the problem, if there continues to be issues then taking it to a vote would be the next action. There isn't always a vote every 2 weeks, it's just an option. Dropping a girl is always last resort, and is hard on both sides.
