An old school soror (195?) who explained to me that once you made your sorority intentions known --there was a semester of "observation" this was a time during which them members of XWZ sorority watched you in both formal and informal settings and basically decided if you were 'worthy'..
Then there was a semester of pledging.. and from what she told me there was no hitting and such foolishness...but they were taught the ins and out of social graces
So in a nutshell we are not teaching our new sorors that
DISCRETION is the KEY to Keep the unity when everyone knows out our bussiness goes
So discrestion means prudent knowing when to be silent....etc
Well I am sure some of you know the rest of the poem...

Bravo!
Thank you for articulating the thoughts of mine and other members of sororities. Back in the 1950's, there was a pledge club. It was a group of ladies interested in a sorority and their purpose was to perform community service. The members of the sororities were able to observe them and make decisions on whether they were "sorority material". But being in a pledge club did not guarantee membership. You still had to go through the application and pledge process and you could still be rejected.
Discretion is a necessary trait to be in a sorority. Sorority business should only be discussed between sorority members.
