To me my stand point is, your founders pledged. Your founders lived in the mid west in the midst of whites back in 1911. If blacks were being hung and ran out of town back in the 60's i can't imagine what it was like in 1911. The process was design for the pledge of every day life. I think you should get made if brothers know how to conduct themselves. Being made helps me throughout my everyday life. I do things with a sense of urgency, excuses are not in my thoughts, and committment is what I do. Pledging is a microcasm of everyday life. No it doesn't make you less of man or a less of a member that you didn't. It goes deeper than getting respect. The process gets so deep it becomes personal and you can only relate to what im saying if you got "made".
