At NC A&T SU which is a HBCU the Kappa Psi Chapter use both Pledge Class and Line interchangeably. When you go through a line you will recieve education same as any other chapter that uses "pledge class". Some chapters require more info than others.

Nevertheless, as a pledge you will recieve a line name (nick name for the entire pledge class similar to the namesakes used in the fall),

a line number (depending on your chapter a line number is giving to you by your height. For example if you are the shortest person in your pledge class you maybe consider the #1 or Ace. Or if you are the tallest of 9 people then you will be #9). Sometimes its in the revise order. (Tallest to shortest). Sometimes there might not be an order, just pick a number. As the next line that comes through, if you are the "Ace" #1 from last Fall you can help trained the next Ace that come through and on and on. Keep passing down the traditions. Like a big brother.

Also in a line there is a desinated leader "The Honcho". or the Pledge class president.

also you will recieve a the nickname chosen by your brothers that reflect how you were in the pledging process.

Then line jackets are prepare for the whole pledge group. With your line information embroidered or printed on it. Some chapter make it optional because of cost, some make it required.

Lines are mostly in the African American Greek Fraternity and sorority cultures. Other Greek Organizations have developed it and past it on to others.

It varies from chapter to chapter on what they consider a line.
