Hi pbear19!
I understand how you feel! Personally, I think being so PC about what you call a pledge is really kind of stupid. I still don't quite understand how calling someone what they are can be considered hazing! A pledge is a pledge is a pledge. You can stick whatever name on them you want to, but it doesn't change the fact that they are, in fact, pledges! And Rush is Rush... Calling it Recruitment makes it sound like you're joining the Army. Whatever! Enough ranting, though... I could go on about this subject all day if someone let me!
Here's an idea for you: I always thought it would be cool for our pledges to be called "Deltas". Since Delta is the first part of Delta Zeta and pledging is the first part of becoming a member of the organization, I think it kind of fits.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the ADPi's on our campus used to call their pledges "Alphas" for the same reason. Anyway, just a thought!
Let me know what you come up with! (Actually, I think "Cubs" is kind of cute.)
Good luck!
Carrie
