When I pledged a few years ago, I think it was around the time of the terminology transition. My "pledge" class had the last version of the "Pledge Manual" and we were the last to go through "Frat Ed" with the "VP-FE". The next NM class had NM Education after going through "Recruitment".
I still use both, but it depends on who I'm talking to.

OTW, beleive Me Fraternitys do as well.
I first Heard the Term "New Associate" in a little meeting the Night before We as a Local were Colonized in 1966.
I argued the Pledge vs New Associate until I was blue in the face. I was then told that it was going to happen. Remember, LXA was the First to Outlaw Pledge Hazing in Greekdom.
Pledge I was told gave a Negative conotation which reverted to Hazing.
Yes, The PC Terms as They Have become unlovingly despise are fact.
But, either We go along with it or die.
We are continually under the gun no matter how much good each GLO does.
