I had decided not to pledge in the fall because of some work committments. After I said "no", the guys were real good about keeping in touch with me and doing things like inviting me to dinner. It was clear these guys could be my friends before they become my brothers. I pledged the next spring.
Initiation was done poorly. I felt like the initiated members were not real thrilled about doing it and didn't take it seriously. It was a little dissapointing. I've had more positive experiences with the ritual since my ceremony.
