lovelyivy84, what's illegal about "pledging" in your group? I'm a ZTA, and we call the women who have accepted our bids "New Members" not pledges. Many other things have changed, but we still have a "Formal Pledging" ceremony, where the new member "pledges" her loyalty to the sorority. We still use those terms in those instances. We don't think the word "pledge" is illegal, its just not used to refer to a person, but an action. I figured most other NPC groups had similar policies. But I would be interested to hear if I assumed incorrectly.
