Re: Pledges or New Members?

Does anyone else call the pre-brothers new members or is pledge the most common?
The reason that NPC groups can use "new member" is that they're pretty much guaranteed that they will be initiated. APO selects their members differently - as emb021 said, there's no guarantee they will become brothers. If APO pledges were called "new members" it would imply something that just isn't true.
