I was 17 when I pledged. No biggie. I just had to have a parent's signature on a few things.

Yes, I was 16 when I got my bid. On Bid Day, I got the dreaded phone call, because neither of the houses where I preffed had known I was 16 (which means that neither of them read my rec before then!). My mother had answered the phone, got into a little dust up that it was very much the wrong time to suddenly be worried about it, and that she & my daddy would sign off on any paperwork. I got to celebrate Bid Day with my sisters (shocked them that I already knew the Greek alphabet!) and they both signed the next day - and embarrassing, checked out the chapter, since they hadn't seen the ADPi suite!
I think risk management is much, much more strict now that it was when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and I understand why. People are more litigious, and special snowflakes are less likely to take responsibility for their actions. A person who is 16
knows that they cannot legally drink, but some still feel the need to do so. It really depends on the person.
