Commitment week Indepth evaluation of changes leads to additional revisions Although many students did not approve of the change in the induction process, most of them cooperated with the rules and adapted to the system. "I tried to understand that, no matter what induction process there was, it would turn out all right if it was under the guidance of God," Kruse said. Despite the good attitude, everyone realized that the new system needed some modification if it were to be effective. For this reason, the club Induction Review Team met to consider the advantages and disadvantages of the induction process. This team consisted of 10 students elected by the ICC, four club sponsors, three faculty members and deans James Anderson and Peggy Huckeba. After considering several ideas, the team decided to return to a one-week induction process with a number of differences from the old system. Although it was not the only change made, the most significant of these differences was probably that the traditional "silly day" at the end of pledgeweekwas completely eliminated. Many students who pledged clubs in 1993 or earlier had hoped "silly day" would return. It was determined that "silly day" focused too much on humiliating inductees and not enough emphasis was placed on schoolwork and extracurricular activities. OEGE.
