flat out refusal
I absolutely refuse to use the terms recruitment in place of rush and new member in place of pledge. Once the process changes, then the vocabulary can change with it, but not untill then. If you say calling someone a pledge is wrong because it makes them realize they are not a full part of the group then what does the term New Member do? The same thing, thats what it does. But you can't call them members because they are not full members. And recruiment if you only do it for a week or two and ask the same questions "HI where are you from, whats your major, what do you think of this profesor, i like your hair, blah blah blah blah blah" it is the same exact thing. Call it what it is and you will run into less problems.
