Are there Fraternities and Sororities where it is longer than 10 weeks?

Are you saying that your nationals actually has a laid out process week to week for six to 10 weeks?

We have national pledging standards (PDF file) and one of the standards is that the process must be at least six weeks and not more than ten weeks. (Exceptions have been made for MIP-only campuses)

There is no national pledge process.

Each chapter devises its own pledge program, though. There are interesting variations among chapters.

Oh okay. I was going to say that is very interesting.
