I'm sure you know that there is nothing that any of us can say about what will or won't happen exactly since we are not where you are. You and the chapter are the only ones that have a say in this matter. I'm sure you also know that the NPHC does not condone hazing or pledging (which is seen as one in the same currently) so the one who's being pledged is just as wrong as the members who are involved in the pledge process. The only thing you can do is to express your concerns once you have made some of these men your friends and face the challenges as they come. If there is really something happening or about to happen that you don't agree with, ask to speak with the members about it. They might just respect your standards and if they don't, you'll have to make a decision but you always have a choice to stay or leave. That's the power that everyone has but sometimes people want to act like they don't have any. If something is really against what you believe in, then don't go through with it and the choice should be simple. Also remember that there is always grad chapter and one chapter doesn't necessarily embody the ideas and philosophy of an entire organization. Good Luck!
