We can no longer call our ceremony "Pillow Paddle". People are to concerned with hazing issues so since we follow the laws, we now call it "Pillow Plaque". We still decorate wooden cutting boards though.
You are correct ISU_XO! Most of the chapters have amended their constitutions to change the verbage from "Rushie" and "RUSH" to either NEW MEMBER or RECRUITMENT. We are having a hard time trying to remember it because we're all so used to saying pledge. We used to only call the girls "New member" when they initiated. So now we're going to have to call them New Initiates I suppose.
Did anyone ever participate in Pledge Skip? The pledge class after mine (99) was the last one to do it. I think our advisors did away with it. Just curious to know what you all did!
