I think it is a Midwest or Illinois thing. I'm from Illinois but I pledged at an HBCU in Atlanta and we didn't have that. However, I know this SGRho who went to school in Illinois and she had asked me a little after we both had crossed if I had had a neophyte. I had no idea what she was talking about. I told her that down here, you are a neo until you bring another line through, even if that means two or more years later. But she explained they have some sort of party or something and then they are no longer considered neos. As far as gifts, we receive our gifts after the probate show.
