Just to go on record. I am not against pledging. I believe in the importance of learning about and believing in your organization before you are initiated. I don't have a problem calling "new members" pledges. Just as I didn't have a problem being called a pledge (circa 1995). I was initiated into a young chapter. And that is probably why I have a different viewpoint than some members of older established chapters. We took our cues from IHQ. New members are allowed to wear letters on clothing & jewelry. This is they way I have always known it.
I totally agree that the entire greek system has become way too politically correct. And that risk management has put a damper on a lot of things traditionally fun and unique about being greek. I had better not get started...
