Again, though, only if the sororities in the story are NPC sororities. I don't know of any group outside the NPC that calls pledges "new members."

Personally, I would avoid the new terminology, especially in the context of learning the "correct" or "current" terminology. I think it likely will make the story come across as pedantic and politically correct.

And I think that when the story is finished, chi-o_cat should give some thought to "publishing" it on GC.
