All my bf at the time said was that they didn't haze and that new members went to meetings. The BDD would hold meetings with the new members at different times, and then maybe a month or two later they'd get initiated.

I can't speak for how other ZBT chapters run things. I was never made to wear a pledge pin. We do have a fraternity pin that we wear with formal attire, but nothing to signify that one is a new member of ZBT. Every chapter is different, and I guarantee that some probably still "pledge" in some way or another, even though it is denounced by our national organization. Nationals try to enforce the rules, but they can't monitor everybody.
