I'll tell you exactly what it is. A skater is a joker who just signs his/her name on the dotted line without going through any kind of pledge process. At least that's what it was when I was in school. Unfortunately pledging has gotten so strict for safety reasons that now a pledge is pretty much forced to skate in.

Speak only on your own org. Delta's legal process is hardly skating in. And as someone who pledged when hazing was not illegal and there were no time limits, I know the difference. Strip away all of the nonsense (hazing) and you have a REAL process that is strictly about business.

I was speaking of the way it was when I was in school on my campus. All the greeks on our campus referred to it that way. I'm not sure how it was on other campuses or how it is now.
