I don't think it should stop either....most groups have an office who's responsible for continuing to educate members. The problem is, women are being initiated (as in, lifetime commitment) without even knowing the basics as far as founders etc and without understanding how big of a commitment it truly is. A brief pledge period full of presents and poems is no preparation for the amount of work (and mandatory events) that is part of being an initiated sister.

I also don't think there should be an "extra" meeting - in other words, pledges should not be attending every chapter meeting - but that's another subject.

And if there's a culture of hazing in a school or chapter, it will happen regardless of the length of the pledge period. Even after initiation. Unless GLOs adopt rolling admissions and initiations, there will always be a youngest class.
