I don't believe in calling them New Members. It is misleading. Members are those who are initiated. Pledge is only hazing if it's used in a derogatory manner, and you can just as easily use any other term that way.

Good - activities that help the pledges get to know the sisters as individuals, like interviews or coke dates. Learning the history of the national and the chapter, not under duress - the sisters should show this is important to them so the NMs think it is important to them as well.

Bad - a program consisting of nothing but group activities that never allow pledges and sisters to spend one on one time. Forsaking teaching any history or other important info (like officer duties) for fear that it's hazing.
