First of all, welcome and best of luck to you for continued rush success! You have a great attitude.

Yes, pledging does take time. I don't know exactly what the fraternity education requirements would be, but I would plan for at least a weekly meeting with the chapter and your pledge class, study table, socials and mixers, chapter dinners, etc. You are at an advantage since you have been in college, with a very difficult major, so obviously you know how to study.

I hope your dad's health continues to improve.

Keep us updated. And, you don't have to feel compelled to say what school you are at or what chapters you are rushing until you are done, if you choose.

Good luck!
