4-Being the center of attention at the mixer to the point that sisters get completely ignored.

5 - Blowing off pledge meetings.

Touching the TV remote. Ever.

7. Disrespecting women. I'll see to it that your ass is balled if I ever witness this.

8. Whining about how you really wanted XYZ, and this group is beneath you.

9. Not answering your phone.
10. Talking back to actives
11. Trying to be funny. You're a pledge, not a comedian.

you might want to rephrase that.

12. Doing the bare minimum that you have to do, and complaining about it.

13. Answering your cell phone during chapter meeting. Loudly. And then walking out of the chapter room, as you continue your LOUD conversation, to take the call.

yep, true story. sigh.

Pledges usually aren't allowed at chapter in fraternities, thats when we ball them!

Arguing with a brother over anything... pledges are wrong and brothers are right.
Complaining, everyone else has been there before.
Wearing jean shorts, unless you do it while courting as a joke. :D
Being late
Not showing up to mandatory stuff
NOT ANSWERING YOUR PHONE WHEN A BROTHER CALLS
Not wearing your pledge pin
Not being sharp on sharp days
Putting down other GLOs, unless its really funny

Most of the real ones have been already said...

along those lines the one that always bothers me is...

when you're alllowed to drink, don't leave all your shit in the brothers room while he's gone, I mean it's fairly fucking obvious but pledges don't understand how much shit goes down in chapter when this happens

Giving signs that you might be a risk management "issue" at sometime in the future. Or the present, for that matter, although that goes without saying.

It's ok to go a little crazy, but what you do comes back to the fraternity, and your stupid decisions can become the fraternity's problems... given the choice between having one more pledge, and not dealing with the shitstorm that can follow an "incident", guess which one they'll choose.

Make the same mistake twice, especially if it's a big one (RM issue, being late, etc).

doing the bare minimum and never socializing with your fellow chapter members (What is the point of joining if not to make new friends?)

or doing too much socializing to the point you neglect your classes

everything in moderation.

Leaving bottles and trash around the room, when I'm gone.
