In the early 1990s, I pledged a local sorority. I was a pledge. My pledge sisters and I were initiated ~6 weeks after pledging.
At the time, there were 4 NPC sororities on campus. One of them referred to their new members as pledges, and held off initiation for a full semester, for grades. The other three called their new members "new members" and initiated them within a few weeks.
When my local became an AEPhi colony, we were "new members", not pledges, and we were initiated after ~6 weeks.
In NPC-land, I believe all new members are called "new members" these days.
