To me, I dont really see the point in "double pledging" to being with. You have to look at what the goals of the organizations are. If you want to be D9 thats cool, that opens up plenty of doors and each D9 org has some sort of community service events for you to participate in. What then, would be the point of pledging another service org that essentially attempts to do the same thing? If you really were so concerned about doing community service you wouldnt need to keep pledging organizations to do so. You can just go volunteer at the red cross, good will, fema, boys club, or whatever. You think everyone in the world that does community service feels the need to "pledge" just to do so? NO! I dont like the idea of orgs as "stepping stones" either. Then once you get into the org you really want you abandon the first. Thats messed up, I believe in staying active and backing all the promises you made as an interest. If you have an interest in one org I think you should go straight for that one, why waste time on an org you consider a "stepping stone?" That isnt fair to them or you. Finally, the girl would get more respect supporting the Nupes as a Zeta than she would as a sweetheart anyway, plus her Blue Phi family would probably be pretty upset with her.

PS. For those of you who are wondering, yes I did in a certain sense "double pledge" seeing that I'm also a Mason, but that org has a completely different goal and purpose than greek orgs and it is not by any means a "stepping stone."
