Pre-pledging and pledging "underground" are illegal activities. Pre-pledging is when you engage in activities before initiation. An "underground" line is either not recognized by the corporate headquarters or it is a line that has completed initiation but continues to be "pledged" by going "underground". These events could be considered as hazing and may lead to disciplinary actions against the individuals involved and/or the chapter. This is how we used those terms on my campus so I hope I explained it accurately across the board.
