Funny-in-retrospect Recruitment stories

WE did the same with letters. Our bid day shirts had Sig Nu spelled out on them. Big Bro's would get the letter shirts about a week out from initiation.

Yeah that's the same as Fresno St. We don't allow candidates to wear letters till they are inititated as a Knight. Makes them strive for not only their badge more but to wear OUR letters.

Yeah, we're the only fraternity on campus that allows candidates to wear letters. I'm not sure why that is, and I wouldn't be opposed to changing it, but we recently bought a bunch of the pledge shirts with letters, so it would be silly to change it now.

I figure it probably does help the candidates feel more included in the brotherhood while they are pledging and less like second class citizens or something. We're extremely good about treating our candidates as equals, theres none of the "pledge get me a beer" style stuff going on that happens at some chapters.

My badge is 172. Is there anyone on here with a badge # between 1 and 171...? If not get me a beer!!!!! I don't even remember the last time I called badge on someone. I think our chapter is pretty good about respecting the older guys. I know when I visit the younger guys my beer is rarely empty and when I am with the older guys I find myself getting quite a few beers.

I have you beat... 5.

Most folks with lower badge #'s than me are members of the Chapter Eternal
