Numbering Pledges?

*After* I initiated (Alpha Phi Omega at Carnegie-Mellon), and we got our membership cards from National, I found out I was #8 in a pledge class of 21 Alphabetically by last name. OTOH, for Alpha Phi Omega at Howard University, they go with the NPHC tradition of numbering pledges by height, and a pledge would know that they were eighth shortest *very* soon after becoming a pledge (perhaps even before pledging???)

I expect that the NPHC fraternities and sororities , NALFO (Latino/a) and pledging non-socials at HBCUs (APO, KKPsi, etc) would number their pledges, but that NPC and NIC groups that didn't come from the African-American/Latino traditions would not.

Are there any NPC sororities that do? Any NIC (non-historically AA/Latino) that do so?

(Apparenly some of the Fraternities/Sororities in the Philippines do so, but that's a topic for another board)
