Per an amendment to our General Regulations at National Assembly this past summer, "[a] man who is under 18 years of age may not hold any class of membership, including probationary." (Probationary members are what we call pledges, so in other words, you must be 18 to pledge.)

Did the effort to change this come from the active brothers or did it come from the National Legal Counsel (or whatever you call the Fraternity's official lawyer) through the National Board to a proposed amendment?

To be honest, I can't remember for sure and I can't put my hands on anything that would help me remember, but I think the proposal originated in the National Executive Committee based on legal advice.
My apologies in advance if I'm remembering incorrectly.

That's OK. It just seems like the perfect example of a change to bylaws based on legal advice.

I signed up for rush during summer orientation and I was 17. I was also 17 when I went through rush in the fall, although I had turned 18 by the time I was initiated. I don't remember my parents ever having to sign for anything.
