The new pledge is taking their first test on Sunday, while the other pledges are on their second test.
The new pledge agreed to take their second test Wednesday of next week so she can finnaly be on the same page as the others, and not initiate two weeks later.
The pledges are bonding with the chapter and each other quite nicely. This is PROOF that hazing has no place in Fraternity life.
I love all of them; I see them on campus and we hug and chat and keep in touch. One of the pledges complained she didn't have the money to get anything to eat, and was on her way to work and was having a generally terrible, horrible, no-good day.
Though I was quite grumpy myself, and hadn't had breakfast, I gave her the granola bar I just bought without a second thought, gave her a big hug, and told her that things were going to brighten up.
The smile on her face made me remember why I joined Alpha Phi Omega.
Aside from my pledge class, I haven't really hung out much with other members of our chapter, and missed bonding and encouragement and general friendship. Thats one of the main reasons I wanted to be pledgemaster, so that I could foster and encourage that bond.
I almost cried with happiness.
Later on, I will be helping her with her English homework
And they rock at service projects.
Our chapter is most definately recruiting the right ones.
