Pledging Across Christmas/New Year or across Summer

[FSUZeta]

Back in my day for ALL NPC sororities, pledge periods were full semesters/quarters. New members were pledges and they did not attend chapter meetings. Only initiated members attended chapter meetings. After I graduated the scuttlebutt I heard was that two NPC sororities decided, in an effort to quell hazing, to shorten the pledge period to approx. 8 weeks. In an effort to be competitive, most of the other NPCs followed suit, the exception being XO, whom I admire for doing what they felt was right.
