Even if you are older in biological years, if a member is older than you are in said organization...deference based on organizational years is still afforded to the prophyte.

Elder respect is elder respect. Organizational deference is different deal all together.

Hi, Im new and Ill be a freshmen this fall. I was not exposed to greek life AT ALL until I came to a summer program at my campus. What advice could you give to someone who is thinking about pledging? Also, during the time one is one line, are they permitted to leave campus for ANY reason other than greek buisness?

I understand if your not allowed to tell me some things. I can respect that.

I think Sistergreek Neosoul gave you all the information which is extremely generous of her to do so.

Can you list exactly how you are confused?

BE careful what you do in your letters because nine times out of ten someone is watching. By this I mean consuming alcohol, smoking illegal substances, fighting, etc. It makes the whole org look bad.
