the future of pledging

by:    

It all depends on how SAE nationals enforces this rule. If they go down hard and are serious about this, it could turn them into the next KAs or SigEp. (SigEp installed a similar policy in the 90s and now has even made its mark on downgrading SigEps best chapters). If little enforcement is done, just like how none of our nationals allows hazing this would be a non-issue for them. My guess it will lean on the lack of enforcement side. This is just a publicity stunt to keep SAE from further legal action. The rule would give greater protection to nationals for hazing and death lawsuits, and ultimately put more of the responsibility on the schools and chapter members. (As far as I know most fraternity chapters are legally part of the school that chartered them and not a separate entity that can be taken to court.

SigEp started the balanced man program in 1994...so it has taken them 20 years to phase in that policy...and its still voluntary.

And even today half of all SigEp chapters are still traditional pledge model.

What SAE has done is far more radical

I agree this rule would be stricter than SigEp's balanced man and LXA Associate program BS from the last 20 years.

yeah so now when things happen nationals can point at this policy and pretend they didn't know chapters were still hazing. call them member all you want, they will always be pledges in some chapters and treated that way.
