I really did! I remember when lovepwrgrl started all those usernames just to leave posts that would back hers up. But when I saw the KFC girls (KFC haha -- unfortunately my PC doesn't show Greek letters) posting within a minute or so of each other, I knew that it just had to be more than one person.

And then I visited their website and got a haha from the Little Mermaid.

Wearing Letters is a big no no if you are not a member of my Org. Even wearing the colors would get you looked at crazy if you were a potential!!!

So..what exactly ARE you allowed to wear? I'm pretty sure almost all colors are GLO colors.

Go naked? Oh wait..that's in the buff...

If your interested in joining my org, and you show up to the interest meeting in the same colors as our ORG, it is not looked as as flatering, it is usually perceived as a bit bold..
So do your research learn the history and the colors and wear something nuetral to that specific org your seeking membership into.

Then again Maybe it is just a HBGLO thing.

Not brown and gold if you are interested in Iota Phi Theta.

It's pretty self-explanatory.

I read several of the posts and I must say I'm a little confussed as to what each sorority views a new member vs. a pledge. I think that may be the topic at hand. A new member means you are a member of that sorority and you have passed through initation but pledging is the learning process before you can be considered a member. For my sorority we do not allow pledges to wear letters. How ever initiation night bigs give their littles their first letters and the littles give their bigs a paddle. The new members are a part of our sorority but they can wear letters as they please.

I've never heard of the terms neo or neophyte or prophyte we call our new members either new girls or newbies. and the older members are older sisters. But I do like neo and prophyte.

What sorority are you a member of? For the 26 NPC sororities, a new member is someone who has received and accepted a bid but has not been initiated yet.

I am a sister of AEPhi. I guess definitions got misconstrued over the years. I'll double check my constitution and bylaws but I may be mistaken. That was the way it was described to me though.

"New member" is the politically correct term for pledge. I don't like it at all since someone really isn't a member of a group until they are initiated.

[ForeverRoses]

let me see if I understand:

New Member- NPC-- formerly called a pledge
NPHC-- someone that has just been initiated

Pledge- NPC- someone that is not yet initated but has pledged themselves to join that organization after they have finished a pledge period
NPHC- I remember being told once that NPHC orgs no longer pledge. So I am not sure what someone that is on-line is called. Neo?

For NPC, once you accept a bid, you are considered to be a member of the organization to a certain extent. For NPHC, are you not considered part of the org until you are initiated?

I am not trying to offend anyone, so if I am asking questions that cannot/shouldn't be asked, sorry!
