411: you open another can of worms. Pledging is a carefully constructed process. It can easily degenerate into hazing in the wrong (untrained) hands. When you haven't ever been "on line" you don't know where to draw the line. A person who has never pledged, but then pledges someone else is probably doing it for the wrong reasons. The situation is most dangerous when a chapter loses its continuity. There is just too much danger with unpledged or half-pledged (only hazed) people overseeing a line.
