Male Pledge Leaders & Female Pledges

[Newjerseydean]

Thanks LatinaAlumna,

Basically, this GLO has existed as a Caribbean fraternity on our campus since 1999. Last year, they were approved to be classified as both a fraternity and sorority by our Greek Council and Director of Greek Affairs. They have never done any intake before as a sorority. And thus no sorority sisters to conduct pledge intake “now” for prospective female members. So only male members belonged to the fraternity and now they want females to belong to their sorority but have no females to be pledge leaders. They do not consider themselves a co-ed fraternity. Somehow they have a dual status as both a fraternity and a sorority. Do you happen to have any insight about this dual status concept and how we can promote a safe pledge process for members of the opposite gender?
