I went through Rush my freshman year Fall 1997, but I dropped out because I was overwhelmed with school and work. I didn't think I was going to ever rush again, but I became close with many of the AGDs over the next coming years.

So I went through Rush again, this time as a Junior during Spring 2000. I'm glad I went through as a Junior because I knew what I wanted in a sorority experience and in a sister. :)

Colony founder initation was spring of my 3rd year (of 5 or so years)- large affect in my college experience, but this may be from starting at the ground level of building a chapter.

Plus the greek community had already had a large impact on my life: friends with 2 IFC pres., have conducted Speakers Bureau presentations in 2 fraternity houses, friends with our former Director of Greek Affairs, attended many fundraiser dinners and events.

Freshman year. January, 1964. Forty year member of Lambda Chi Alpha as of September, 2004.

I joined first semester of my freshman year, fall 2001.

It's pretty unusual to join a house at my school in your junior year, and there are usually several sophomores that go through formal recruitment, but overall the majority of rushees are freshman...

It's in my sig, first semester freshman year. Best decision ever!

That is Cool I am in SAI and Theta too!!!

I pledged SAI Fall of 2000 (my sophomore year)
I pledged Theta Fall of 2004 (this semester)- Initiation is this friday. I am way excited!

I pledged Sigma Gamma Rho fall 2003 as a first semester senior. My line sisters and I reactivated our chapter.

I pledged Alpha Chi Sigma spring 2003 as a second-semester junior.

I pledged last year. Winter of 2004 (the only chance we have!)

Freshman, Fall 1991:D

sophmore, fall 2001

first semester freshman, fall 2003

I never pledged. I was a colonist. Started in the Summer of '99.

I pledged Lambda in my Junior year, fall semester (2003). :)

i didnt pledge. so no pledge class for me :(. i basically read and learned the history and such on my own. helped colonized in spring of 2001.

Pledged? What is this pledging thing? I went through the Member Intake Process in my second semester of my second year, Spring 2004.

I'm pledging right now
 

I'm pleding Pi Phi right now and I'm a sophomore. My pledge class has a two juniors, maybe three or four sophormores, then rest are freshman. We have eleven pledges. I wish I would have gone though pledge last year, but it was just to much.

i was a first semester freshman when i pledged in fall 2002

First Semester Freshman, Fall 2001

I'm going through new member education right now, and I'm a senior! I'm one of 80 founding sisters of the Epsilon Delta chapter of Tri Delta.

i pledged the spring semester of my frehmen year

I pledged APO the fall of my freshman year.

I pledged Theta the fall of my sophomore year. Our recruitment is deferred a year...the wait killed me!

I joined first semester my freshman year (Fall '00)...

But there are a lot of upperclassmen who do join... My diamond sister joined her senior year (she did end up having two senior years though)...

I "pledged" in the Spring of 2003 as a Junior. There were only 7 in my alpha class.

I pledged freshman year second semester and it was the best time of my life!

Spring of 2004...my junior year. I'm glad I waited a while to pledge. It gave me plenty of time to observe all the sororities and choose the right one for me. However, I really wish I had joined a little sooner...maybe my sophmore year. It's sad that I just joined and now I'll be graduating in August.

oldest of the old
 

I pledged TKE fall '54. Pres. of pledge class of 27; we initiated
26 of them. Among was 1 WWII vet, 2 Korean vets, one 6'7"
marine, etc. at the then Kansas State Teachers College, now
Emporia State University. Worked 100 hrs a month in art dept &
had auto parts job for 10 hrs a week. drank too much but paid
all my bills. won jitterbug contests, loved the Tri Sigs and Alpha
Sigs...I'd give anything to be able to move back into the house,
we housed 55 in our "mansion." I was all of 18 then...

memories like that make me truly cherish all the moments I have in college, especially with my sisters and fellow Greeks!!! I can't wait to look back on all the fun, exhausting, exciting, thrilling times of my life!

Alpha Phi First Semester Freshman Year Fall 2002

I pledged my second semester as a freshman SPC 04 aka Phi
Unit! along with 16 of the greatest sisters alive making mine the biggest pledge class in about 5 years

I pledged Chi Omega Fall 1979 (my Freshman year) at Mercer University, Macon GA -- a quota pledge class of 30.

I pledged Tri-Sigma at Sam Houston State University Fall 2002, Freshman year. Quota = 18 ... Pldge Class = 18. :D

I pledged Spring 2001 my junior year with 3 other women

I joined APhi in the Spring of my freshman year through COB.

Another clue for you Lovely_gurl ;)

I 'pledged' ADPi Fall '04 (my sophomore year) with 88 of the most amazing women I've ever met to make up the founding class of Gamma Delta Chapter.

I pledged AXD fall of my freshman year after formal recruitment with about 61 other girls.

I pledged and "crossed the burning sands" during my junior year at Appalachian State University as a member of the "Hardrock 10" during the spring semester of 1980. I'm currently the Asst. Chaplain of my graduate chapter and was selected the "Omega Man of the Year" this year. We'll have our Achievement Week Convocation on 19 February 2005 at St. Joseph's AME Church in Durham,NC. Even though it's been almost 25 years since I was initiated, it doesn't feel like it. I'm stilll young at heart

Que Psi Phi 'til the day I die!

I pledged my freshman year 1989. I was the last pledge that ADPi had @UNA because. I didnt make my grades and I was initiated late.

The next "pledge class" were/was called ALPHA's. So, that was kind of cool to get the last "MODEL PLEDGE" plaque.

Junior
Fall 04

I was actually a senior when I pledged in Fall 03. Really late I know, but because of the people I was friends with up until that point I was completely anti-greek until the semester before. I ended up changing my major the following semester though, so I'm going to be active for two years instead of just one. Sometimes I wish I would have pledged earlier, because I absolutely love being greek, but I'm glad I didn't because I'm not sure my experience would have been the same or if I would have ended up in the same place and I wouldn't change being a Phi Sig for anything :)
