Although I have to admit using the word "pledge" a few times. Oh well.

We do the same thing, it's "new member" and not pledge. However, even when I was a "new member" I still refered to myself as a pledge, it was just easier to say and less confusing to other people. I could care less about the connotations with the word, a new member is the same exact thing. I was never offended if any of the initiated members called me a pledge, although some of them did say "new member" to be politically correct.
