Satin,
If I remember correctly, there are some national GLO's that have done away with a "new member" period altogether, and they initiated new members almost immediately.
This is interesting, because this is a move back to our "roots" - where fraternities traditionally initiated members almost immediately some years ago. Pledge periods really didn't start until just after World War 2 - and I think pledge periods were implemented due to the immense growth of chapters - it was the only way to manage growth. However, this "tradition" stuck with us until this day.
