Our nm period is longer than most NPCs on campus. I think it's about 11 weeks or so. We give quizzes every week of the nm period as apposed to the BIG test at the end of the period. Quizzes cover history, rules, philanthropy info, the greek alphabet, who all the other greeks in campus are (well, unfortunately, not ALL of them), what all the committees do, etc. Basic "need to know when you are active" stuff. If a nm can't pass the test the first time given, she has multiple times to pass it after. Retakes are given on later meet ups. If the group cannot collectively pass all the quizzes initiation is delayed until they do so.
Just throwing in another Local perspective.
