How long is your pledging?

I will echo the other posters -- 2 weeks seems awfully short. The locals on my campus operated a lot like the nationals, so their processes were ~2 months (give or take).

The only way I can see 2 weeks working is if they were intensive programs with the pledges doing absolutely nothing else during those weeks (including school/work). That's obviously not ideal, but if it works for y'all, kudos. Also, having your new classes at the bottom of the totem pole until the new class comes in seems like a way to get around the pledging restrictions. But again, it seems like it works for y'all.

Grove City locals back in the day did a 1 or 2 week pledging that was basically what k_s said. Nothing but pledging and hardcore hazing.

If they are forcing you to hold it at a minimum 2 weeks, what you are doing is the only way you can do it. You might want to point out, though, that the administration is basically condemning people to a semester long pledgeship - unless they don't care about reality and only care about how it looks on paper.

Also the 7-11 thing is rididiculous. For some people that's hazing as that's when they're working or studying.

I didn't even notice that. That is ridiculous.

Was this the college that comes up every so often that every group has a reputation for hazing like hell and their groups have sort of odd nicknames?
