Principles of Pledging

[SAEalumnus]

For the sake of (potentially) improving everyone's pledge/new member program, I propose we post the things we feel are most important to be covered in an effective pledge program. Hopefully some new ideas might start floating around to different chapters. I'll start:

1. Academics: importance and integrity
2. Ritual: importance and function (no details obviously)
3. Operations: officers' duties, parlipro, bylaws, etc.
4. Social: that's why we're all here, isn't it?
5. Financial: handling credit, basics of finance
6. History: local and (inter-)national
7. Traditions: the finer points of the chapter
8. Community: awareness and service project(s)
9. Personal values: eg. value shield exercise
10. Continuity: importance of passing on values to future pledge classes
