My problem with the term "new member" is that "new members", at least in my mind, are not members of my sorority yet. The whole "new member education" period is about preparation for membership. Outside the Greek community I feel these terms can be very confusing and don't see how they are helpful.
On a campus like mine when there were 3 groups (now 2) using the NPC terms and 7 fraternities and local sororities using the old terms I tended to use the old terms. Having our own special jargon for recruitment when everyone else is using the old terms and the general public understands what they mean seems almost pretencious
