We can debate pledging until we're both blue in the face; but the fact remains, if people want something badly enough-and for the right reasons, they'll be willing to pledge. If what they're interested in pledging is worth it, the pledge process will enrich their lives, enhance their ability to deal with people, and appreciate the value of real community service and leadership-specifically the value of time-management(and WE ALL know how valuable that skill is). The pledge process would include a community service project-one that's real and measurable-from the planning to the evaluation stages. It would include networking. It would include using the skills that the prospective member came to college to master(i.e. marketing).
The physical aspect of pledging can be as beneficial to the prospective member as the above-as long as it's done properly.
