When asked who is the weakest pledge?
 

I am just curious as to what is the exact answer that the actives are looking when they asked pledges questions like "Who do you think is the weakest pledge in your pledge class?" What am I supposed to answer? Do I really need to name one, or should I answered something like no one is weak because we are all brothers/sisters?

This happened to me. I said "None of us."

It also happened to my line brother. He named a name. Idiot.

Does this send up a red flag of hazing to anyone else?

^^^Oh yeah.

My first thought was "Why in the world would anybody ever ask you that???"

I guess you could yell out, "I am Sir, Can I have another!!"

Hazing. Definitely.

It's obvious that you're the weakest pledge.

Thank you, thank you!

"Goodbye."

Correct answer is "we are all one because we are pledge brothers."

No.

"Are you thinking bench, squat, or clean lift?"

Sisters think alike, except my response would be less PC like, "WTF?".

"good answer! good answer!" (like on Family Feud)

Definitely...1) he/she is posting this question on the internet; 2) he/she does not know how to answer this question; and 3) he/she is wasting time on the internet instead of studying and taking care of business.

Are you online while on line? Tsk tsk.

Word son.

"We are all equally weak"

To which the response would be "Then we'll drop all of you and wait for better pledges."

:rolleyes:

*Like*

Well, it depends. I know some orgs. that would buy that line...just sayin' :D

When asked this question, one way to go about it is to point out an obvious weakness in everyone. Then tell them that no one is perfect, but that you all work very hard to be excellent.

This response is usually acceptable because you aren't bullshitting the question. When you say "no one is weak" or "we are all weak" you are telling the actives that you refuse to give up your class. Personally, as an active brother, I appreciate honesty and by telling me that "no one is weak" or "we are all weak," I know that you aren't telling the truth. Potentials have been turned down because of these two responses. We know that "no one is weak" is garbage because everyone has problems. We also know that "we are all weak" is garbage because its just not true. Some potentials are flawless.

LOL

:rolleyes:

Welp, this is pretty representative of your organization, I guess.

How about "As individuals, we all have our weaknesses but united, we are strong"

I still don't get the point of asking the question..lol.

Lessons learned from this thread:

1. You have no business asking questions online if you are undergoing a membership process. That goes for every organization, as far as I'm concerned.
2. Don't ask randoms this question because many will not understand it, and their advice will be void of context.


Good luck with your nonhazing membership process. :)

When they asked you that question, point to whoever is standing to your left. That is the right answer.

Haha was it you?

The correct answer is "We all are. Our pledge class is as weak as the weakest brother." ( I read that in Stuart Scott's account of pledging in my BGLO book)

:rolleyes:

I was full of Excuses!

But I bet you weren't online talking about said excuses like this new breed of pledge :rolleyes:

LOL love it.

Lol...you are right!
