I forgot how much fun my pledge period was.
We started classes. The actives started classes. I started sitting with one of my pledge sisters in my huge chemistry lecture and we teamed up for lab partners.
Actives decorated my dorm door.
We started having pledge class meetings and pledge education sesssion. (I'm old enough that I was a pledge, not a new member.)
We started meeting people. We were assigned a pearl sister, an emerald sister, and a diamond sister (one each week) -- she was an active who invited us out and introduced us to people. One of them took me to some parties. Another one took me out for a Blizzard. Another one just had me over to watch TV with some other actives.
We had two pledge retreats - one at the house and one off-campus.
We were encouraged to do things with our pledge sisters and we did. We went to games. We went to campus movies. I was in the campus play and my class came to my play. (Still makes me go "Aww!")
We participated in chapter philanthropy event.
We all made sure we went to "formal" dinner at the house once a week.
We had got our Big Sisters.
We were seranaded by a couple of fraternities during formal dinner.
We had a very special week, the week before initiation.
