Is that not kind of backwards?

I've heard of post-pledging. To each it's own. I thunk if you are going to do it, let it be immediately after crossing. Don't wait 1 - 5 yrs later. Even though all that time post pledging could be spent on making a difference in the chapter implementing programs, etc. JMO

I think its always better to pledge before crossing than after, because if you pledge after you have that thought in the back of your mind that you already have the org on paper so at any time if you "can't take it anymore," you can simply walk away and still have something as opposed to the latter. At the same time though, post pledging is better than not pledging at all, to me.

yeah i knew a dude that had the chance to pledge along with a line. he dropped line thinking that he din't need to pledge and he already had his letters. in the end he couldn't stand being referred to as 'that paper kappa' so he ended up pledging by himself...took a whole let of wood too from what i heard lol

That is backwards for real. I guess. I've known ppl who went grad and hopped on undergrad lines. THAT"S BACKWARD!!! To be 36 locked up w/ a 18 year old freshman.

^^ I somewhat agree, but if you joined a grad chapter since no chapter was available thru undergrad (suspension, inactive, or not chartered at the time u were UG), would you go thru the pledge process so you can say you did it? to get the "true" bond of sisterhood/brotherhood? some folx say don't matter as long as u pay your dues and doing what the founders of your org expect you to do... while others say you didn't "earn" them so don't "fake the funk" to speak... I agree with both sides of the fence and although I'm not greek and my opinion might not mean much, I find the debate very interesting

happy labour day weekend y'all!!!
