A new member has at least 6 weeks, many times longer, to figure out what's right for her. If a group isn't, she can depledge and re rush in a year, or pursue AI later on in her adult life.

Honestly from what I hear from other GC'ers at a lot of other schools, particularly where Greek life is the big major scene, it sounds like you only get one real chance to pledge also. You constantly hear about how many chapters are at total and don't COB and how its much more difficult to get a bid when a pnm isn't a freshman. Plus are all chapters really open to the idea of giving a bid to a woman who they either cut or were cut by in the past? I would think a lot of girls who get initiated and deactivate quickly may be in an environment like this where they think if it doesn't work out they won't have another chance. We all say being in a sorority isn't the biggest deal in the world but it seems to be a very big deal to many, if not most, of us on GC.
And while I agree with the comments about being 18 and old enough to take responsibility for our actions can you really say that is the policy of NPC? A lot of NPC's and individual sororities' policies are based on this not really being true in their opinions. There is another active thread up which points out the differences in the rules imposed on NIC vs. NPC glo's.
