In all honesty, too many people posting are focusing on the minute details instead of answering the overarching question being asked. I don't feel I have to really explain my position because in all honesty, it shouldn't make a difference. I am trying to help my chapter change to become more risk adverse and create a more positive atmosphere....
but, since "my position" and "my authority" seems to be the focus of conversation, here it is:
I am new to this chapter, recent transfer
I never went through hazing so the concept, though I knew it existed, it new to me
After transferring in and talking to the brothers, some of the members realized the
need for change
I was elected, by the chapter, to the role of what some would consider "pledge
master" in hopes that I could help revitalize the progrm
Enough of the chapter wants to see change that they gave me their vote of
confidence
I am seeking help from as many resources as possible because I see an opportunity
here to help this chapter start new traditions.
No, the Nationals has NOT stepped in...this is a chapter initiative (different, right?)
Yes, they have been contacted and advise is being given
Yes, i am on the chat...for the umpteenth time, looking for advice from others.
So, I will ask yet again for advice or examples of how a good "pledge process" or a "new member program" is run. I was hoping this forum could help to generate ideas...not only for my chapter to use but other groups to use as well. What WORKED when you were pledging? What good team building exercises have YOU experienced that were effective...not necessarily with your Greek organization?
I would ask that we stop side tracking ourselves with the unimportant details of who I am, what my position is, the question of my "authority", etc. Rather, let us focus on ideas that can help improve a new member process as this is truly a golden opportunity to fix a broken system.
