Doggystyle82,

Truthfully, we all know what pledging entails TODAY. To assume otherwise, would be foolish. I am not reading from "what I heard!", but from first hand experience and knowledge. I went to a college where the greek bros, a lot of them, came into masonry before and some after pledging. Let's not be naive. I have been in a fraternal brotherhood for years also, you learn of others process and pitfalls, it is a common bond that alot of brothers have.

Do you agree with pledging as it is TODAY?

You are right I had no choice over my process into masonry, but I KNOW my process didn't demean me or my CTs. GPAs remained tight! That can not be said for pledging. It was also the official way to come into Prince Hall masonry. As intake is for BGLOs, but I guess lawsuits are the best way to advertise our BGLOs

You say the names of those prominent individuals as if pledging needs to be defended, which it does. They, no matter how high they sit, are then breaking the oaths that so many "say" they hold sacred. You can't have it two ways. I am referring to those individuals that continue pledging as we know it.

Look at your quote about not worrying about that in NY. He won't have to worry about going through intake, and being called a skater, cat, etc.... right? Forgive me if I misinterpet.
