im just a little confused about the comment made by selacious in her/his reply that said pledging was "banned" in 1990... what exactly are you talking about because i have never heard of such a ban. also, blog's are not the only ones that had auxiliary groups.... i know for a fact that the sigma chi's on my campus had a group in the 1980s that was called the little sisters of sigma chi that actually pledged and had pledging activities in order to get in. some of the founding sisters of my chapter were once in this group.
