Right away they pretty much have to choose between their loyalty to the men who recruited them and the national organization. Unless of course, they fake it big time and are just puppets for the kicked off guys who are still pulling all the strings in the background.
Now that is an interesting scenario - I wonder if any Phi Delt pledges are reading this, lol. The thing is as a pledge I don't think you really understand the scope of a national organization. I wouldn't begrudge someone for feeling more loyalty to the men who recruited them than to some "weird yankee" put in their house as a chaperon. Nationals will definitly be sending in their best consultants to try an win over the pledge class.
