That is the allowed timeframe in which pledging CAN take place, not necessarily you go do pledging for 4 hours every day.

There have been 2 fraternities that have had their charters permanently revoked by campus administration for category three (Violent) hazing. One still exists underground but the other died out 7 years ago. These two instances DID bring national attention.

As for the nicknames when the administration banned Nationals in 1913 the remaining groups changed to Sections (Frats) and Clubs (Sororities). These groups eventually took greek letters again, and slowly over time the school chartered them as local greeks. The fraternities still refer to themselves by the sections of Kenarden Lodge that they lived in, a building built for the sole purpose of housing these groups in 1918. My fraternity is the Sixth Section. Some of the sections had nicknames too (Zards, Krappers, Rangers). The Clubs were primarily known for their nicknames and not a section (Peanuts, Echoes, Imps, etc.)

Sorry for the history lesson xD.
