I do like the term "pledge" (used as a noun) better than the term "new members". I also loved my pledge ribbons! I am not personally persuaded that wearing them is hazing, particularly if wearing the pledge pin is not.

We wore our pledge ribbons until our formal pledge ceremony, when we were given our pledge pins. I can't remember a single woman who found that humiliating in any manner.
I don't care for the term "New Member". A pledge is perhaps a "Prospective Member", but is not a "New Member" until immediately after initiation.
