Formal Pledging question

[MOLadybug]

He has not been pinned and yes he has been a Pike new member for a month now. The only thing he has received is his bid and a bid day shirt. He did move into the house. If the new members didn't move to the houses on this campus I am sure they would have lost some of them long ago. The only Pike items he has received are the ones his Dad and I have bought. He does not have a big brother or pledge dad. I don't understand what they hope to accomplish by delaying these two things. It seems like a bad practice to me.

I was a chapter advisor for 7 years and I am an active alumnae. I just don't see this as a good way to treat your new members who are the life blood of your chapter. It is a small chapter of about 35 or 40.

It is just odd that they have not done formal pledging. Don't really know what they are waiting on.

I hope you are correct about this being a good decision!!! He also got a bid from Fiji. I am beginning to wonder if he should not have joined that house.

I just don't know what to do. I know he should take care of it but I know he doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize his membership!

Worried MOM!
