This is another reason why the term "pledge" is better than "new member" or "insert jewel here sister." It doesn't give the illusion that you are on the same level of closeness with the initiated members of the sorority. You are not. That doesn't mean pledges should be hazed or mistreated - but I think a HUGE part of why girls don't understand why they're not instant friends is because they're showered with a very shallow positivity and the terminology used contributes to that. When we were called pledges, we know we were different, and I don't think any of us ever expected to be instant BFFs with everyone in a week.
