During our pledging process, the pledge class is required to do certain things. Included in this include completing a pledge class philanthropy, house improvement project, do a 'campout', doing a fundraiser, plan the annual "Bowery Brawl" taking part in a 1920s speakeasy (complete with butcher-papered walls and sawdust on the floor), and walkout-sneak from formal dinnergoing to a chapter at a different school, learning basic facts about that chapter, and returning by midnight without being 'caught' by the Actives.
Our pledge class of 13 judged a high school debate tournament in a local town for our philanthropy, cleaned a old burnt-out house and sold souviner decanturs and scotch glasses during Bowery for our fundraiser, installed a wireless internet system in the house as our improvement project, and had our campout at a pledgebrothers house. All of these events helped build loyalty between our pledge class, though I would recommend for a house improvement project making it where the pledges can work more as a group, instead of everyone raising funds for it and then 2 people installing it like ours was.
