My pledge semester was one of my best in the fraternity. We were, and remain, the largest class (28) in our chapter's history. I think part of the reason it was so special to me was that we were working towards a common goal. Everything that we did, in my mind anyway, was about learning about our fraternity, learning about the men we were going to call brothers for the next four years. There was never anything demeaning asked of us or done to us. We received our charter on the same weekend my class was initiated, which I think is another reason that period of my life is so special to me.
