While terms like "recruitment" and "new member" may be uniformly used by NPC groups, there are many fraternities that still use the terms "rush" and "pledge." Those that don't use "pledge" have a variety of terms:
e.g., candidate, "new member," or Lambda Chi's "associate member." In Phi Mu Alpha, we still use "pledge" as a verb or adjective (as in "when I pledged Phi Mu Alpha" or "the pledging ceremony"), but we call someone who has pledged but not been initiated a "probationary member" ("PM" or "probate" for short).
Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.
