I don't know what sisterhood it was, so I have no idea of what their rules are or were.

A lot of schools had bed rush back in the day--each sorority's quota was the number of beds available in the house for new members--and the pledges moved right into the house after rush.

How long were pledge periods? She mentions that it was two months before the "ledge" incident happened, and then a few weeks later when she was put on probation.

In the 80's pledge periods were almost a semester long. I pledged in September and initiated in February.

LOL! When the pledge period was shortened to six weeks, we were all saying "That is no where near long enough! How are they supposed to learn enough to initiate?" And now it seems like it's just fine.

Wow...for both OPA and Coyote, the pledge/new member period is about 3 months. (And OPA pledges are NOT allowed to wear letters--so I had to wait 3 months to wear any t-shirt with the Greek letters printed at all!)

Really? When I pledged OPA, I wore printed letters, but not sewn-in letters. If a pledge was to drop out, they were suppose to give the printed shirts back. Of course, I couldn't wear any letters at all with DST.

Yep, me too. We were pinned the first week of February, and initiation was after the first week of the following semester. Of course, in my case, initiation (to AXiD) will be 18 years later!
