Yes, I can answer that.
Pledge classes usually get named in one of two ways or both.
First way: Name of Semester=Pledge class name. For example "The Fall '01" class was after the "Spring '01" class.
Second way: For the Greek letter, in order. Alpha was the first class. Then Beta, and so on.
Some names get skipped for various reasons. In my fraternity, there is no "Alpha Alpha" class, because there is no Alpha Alpha chapter, we don't use double letters. It goes from Omega to Alpha Beta, and from Beta Alpha to Beta Gamma and so on.
Some groups never us omega for a pledge class or for a chapter.
Other groups will have the pledges or pledge trainer come up witha name for the class.
