That's in the eye of the beholder. Assigning someone a name/number when they don't want it ceases to be a difference and enters into the realm of violation, especially if you can't tie the mandatory use of names/numbers to national pledging standards.
I'm personally not a big fan of them. I've seen chapters whose brothers spend more time focusing on what they're going to nickname their pledges than they do actually preparing them for active membership (you know, the reason we have a pledge program in the first place
)
