Naraht is talking about what many NPHC and NALFO call a "line number" or "pledge number" (if the word "pledge" is still used). The number can have meaning beyond height and order of initiation.

Numbering is why many NPHC and NALFO say they are an Ace, for example, and they say "my number/numba" when interacting with Aces from other lines in the same chapter, different chapters of the same GLO, and other GLOS.
So, would someone who had a "pledge number" or a "line number" always be that even if they were never initiated? COuld they still use that or would it be unseemly to do so?
