Keep in mind that I pledged when it was still called pledging, and we didn't initiate for a whole semester...

One of the articles indicated that she pledged at the end of March and was initiated at the end of April - a month! IMO, one of the biggest repercussions of shortened new member periods is that some info doesn't get the time it deserves. I certainly know nothing about Sigma's new member education, so perhaps my assumption is incorrect, but I wonder if the proper channels of protocol were glossed over. ?? Also, if Marshall students are anything like those I'm around, it often seems like the answer is always to go to the top (President, in academic issues; HQ in Greek affairs) when things aren't going the way students expect. Maybe inadequate info and this mindset are what prompted her to choose the route she did.

Our NM materials are all online so it's possible that she did not read them as thoroughly as possible, but the information is certainly there.
