About the word "pledge" - many GLOs are moving away from the noun or verb "pledge", in response to anti-hazing rules/laws. You might want to think about terminology as you move along in this path.
The verb meaning of the VERB "pledge" is different than the noun "a pledge". What we used to refer to as pledges are now Members in Training. Other orgnizations use other terms. I know that in the 80s and early 90s, many fraternities used the term "associates" or "associate members". Without a national office to regulate such stuff, you are essentially setting the precedent.
Good luck, and I am sure you will find examples online as to the type of things you might want to include in your ceremony/ritual.
