The best way to be a great pledge is to take your time during rush and go where you really feel like you are in the right place. When you are rushing, the place where you go and kind of fit in almost right away is usually the place you want to end up. The general structure and principles of the various IFC fraternities are quite similar, so it is really all about where you just naturally get along with the guys and the ladies they associate with. Find that and have a good time, and you will naturally be a good pledge.
In my eyes a good pledge is one that has his priorities straight, has a good attitude, stays on top of school, and does what he's asked in a timely manner. Those are things I look for when recruiting so I expect that from our pledges throughout the semester. I think EE BO mentioned a great point that pledges will be good ones if they choose the right fraternity for them.
In addition to many of the things others have said, a good pledge is the same person during pledgeship that he was during rush, and that he will be as a brother. Being a good pledge is good, being both a good pledge and a good brother is better.
