re: Pledge Lock-In

My chapter had them, though we called it a "Pledge Retreat."

On a weekend night about 2 weeks into the pledge semester, we'd reserve a large room on campus from say, 7pm-2am*. The only people allowed in were pledges and pledge staff. There was lots and lots of food, games (both icebreakers and regular board games), and general silliness. I remember it being a great time for pledges to interview each other for their sig books. The active brothers "crashed" (this was planned) towards the end of the night, after the pledges had had ample time to bond with each other.


*This is approximate. Looking back, it felt like six to eight hours' worth of fun but who knows. I know it always ended well after midnight.
