They snuck in, woke you up and took you out to the car (or pickup), and you spent the rest of the night going around with them to kidnap the rest of the new pledges.
Everyone had breakfast together, and they took you home, after giving you a time and place for the pledging ceremony. If you decided not to pledge, you simply didn't show up for the pinning ceremony.
When they contacted my mom, she said no.  However, 8 years later she let my sister join.  Go figure!!
The organization has a long history, and does a lot of good philanthropy. It's kinda "sorority lite". They are a legitimate organization. |
I'm sorry but as a step-mother of a 14 year old getting ready to go to high school in the fall, I find that whole 2am thing to be rather silly and ridiculous.
