Also, pretty much every single fraternity on my campus used the term pledges, and at least some of them used pledgemaster (I graduated last spring, so not too long ago...going to assumed they're still doing it). This was casually, I have no idea what their official language was supposed to be. Many of the sororities referred to their new members as pledges casually as well.
I know a campus, not mine, where the college Panhellenic actually formally still uses the term Rush rather than Recruitment (in PR materials, on their website, etc.) and I thought that was really interesting, since my understanding is that NPC discourages the use of "Rush"...right?
