I'm in that certain generation, Sen. My pledging period was close to six months. I knew what I needed to know, backwards and forwards.
Having seen and read the New Member Education manual for my fraternity, I will attest to the comprehensive nature of the materials. Having sat in on NME meetings, as have other advisors, I know that talking about "social and photos" (paraphrase) is NOT the only topic. Far from it.
As for the NPC decision to shorten the NME period, that's way out of my scope of influence, and there are reasons that the NME period was shortened. That's been discussed ad infinitum. I gave up complaining, instead I'm focused on broadening the education process to the entire chapter. We do a little segment each week in chapter; we have sisterhood firesides where we talk about our history and ritual. It has made a difference, based on what I'm hearing and seeing in the chapter.
I can speak about what I know as it pertains to my fraternity.
