I agree with everyone who said that it's really important to stay loyal to your initiated sisters, but don't forget that the pledges are the future of your chapter. They're the ones who will keep your chapter alive when you're not there anymore so you can't afford to alienate them. It's always sort of awkward in the beginning once a new pledge class comes in because everyone is still getting to know one another and there is the tendency for the pledges to stick together and the initiates to do the same, but try to make it so that everyone isn't divided. You are all members of the same sisterhood, and just let the pledges know that you are excited to have them as your potential sisters. BUT, if they're the ones causing trouble and they don't respond to your friendly overtures, I guess you'd say, then don't be afraid to talk to them as a group and tell them that the situation needs to change. Sorry this isn't Ann Landers-calibre advice, but I don't know the whole story! I wish you luck, though!
