KDLadyZK, I don't mean to butt in, but I can tell you a couple of events from 1976 that my pledge class "had" to do that are forbidden now:
1. We had to memorize 3 things about each active (from a list provided to us), go visit with them, tell them what we learned (if they asked--they hardly did), and wait for them to offer to sign a wooden key (the key is one of our symbols). Funny thing, they learned about us too just by our visiting them. What a wonderful keepsake!
2. We had to dress up to find our big sisters in whatever costume they provided. Then we had to follow the clues all around campus until we found them. This was so fun!
Granted, we had to be pledges for a whole semester AND make our grades before we could be initiated. I'm not saying how we did it back then was better or worse, but I enjoyed every minute of my pledgeship. For the record, I do try to use the new terminology, but I revert to the old sometimes.
