Since our pledge class was the largest on campus with a whopping
thirteen, we were pretty much guaranteed to write one every other week. I'm trying to remember who all we wrote to, but I do remember our (retired) housemother, the Alumnae Association President, our Chapter Advisor (who only came to one meeting a month max), the PD, Miss Blake, and whomever was in charge of Pledge Education at EO, for starters. It was as much an exercise of writing "the bread & butter note" as anything else.
And BBelle, I certainly remember Pledge Books, both the "official" one from EO and the Chapter one! We had to have 3/4 of the Chapter sign each of our Chapter one prior to initiation! The sisters would write their home/school addresses/phone numbers, their likes & dislikes, birthdays, and an "assignment" - usually to get the signature of someone on campus that the sister thought we should know. It may sound romantic & sentimental, but it was
really hard on the grades!
