Pledging
I was wondering how everybody feels about pledging. In my fraternity, we do not pledge. Our initiation takes places over a weekend and new members are initiated within 72 hours and then endowed with the full rights and priveleges of a brother. Our national organization abolished pledging in 1989 because they felt it led to new members being treated as second class citizens, in addition to hazing. They came to the conclusion that eliminating pledging was the only way to solve this problem. What do you think?
