And by the way, I didn't take your "rant" as negative. It was interesting to hear the challenges that most chapters don't think of. I'm chuckling to myself thinking of back at my initiation when we held it in the middle of the night. But you'd either have to start before dark or end after sunrise! But most of our stuff that was time consuming was chapter specific and went away when initiation had to happen during daylight hours.
I can appreciate the various nationals wanting to stick to a fixed system, but when you are talking 5 times larger pledge classes than the national average (I'm guessing a national average of around 30, but it's probably closer to 20), I think some accommodation can be made. 6 weeks plus 1 week for every 20th new member beyond 50? That seems fair and something they can stick to without worrying about hazing or slowly edging back to semester long pledge periods.
It will be interesting to see how it goes at Arkansas when your pledge classes start to shrink back down again and how the shrinking pains go. And is anyone guessing 2 more chapters come on in 2014 or 15?
