Back in the day (early 1990s), my local used the terms "pledge" and "pledge mom". When my local became part of AEPhi in 1995, AEPhi was just switching over to the "new member" terminology. We got printings of the pledge manual from 1993, and the word "pledge" is used throughout. The TEC placed with my colony repeatedly reminded us, "'Pledge' is old terminology. You are new members in your new member education period."
The APO chapter at my school used the term "pledge" for pledges, and "pledge mom" for the pledge educator (regardless of the pledge educator's gender). (Note: I never pursued membership in APO, but one of my AEPhi sisters is a brother. I thought it strange that a man could be a "pledge mom", but that is the chapter's custom.)
