Candidate Class Out-numbering Active Chapter

[Kevin]

I'd say take whoever is worthy. Don't be discouraged just because of the large number. I guarantee you -- in the end, there won't be 40 guys. Just realize that this will require the whole chapter to give a 100% commitment. Exec needs to give the Marshal 100% support.

This obviously has happened to us here at AR here the last couple of years. There's really not a problem with the right set of pledge trainers. We have switched to using two marshals and two assistant pledge trainers. These 4 guys are the main people that tell them what to do, where to be, run the pledge meetings ect. Some people get two little brothers. Other than that there really is no difference. Just make sure they know their place, and that each potential member is up to snuff. Don't let anybody sneak in that you will regret later. Congrats!

I like the two marshals and two assistant pledge trainers idea. It guarantees you will always have a younger member learning the system inside and out to take over when the Marshal's move on.

For a large class, 1 pledge marshal can become overwhelmed with keeping up with all the young'uns.
