Concerned Pledge

Does your fraternity require you go to the library and study? You should probably miss some of the non-required social events in order to study and get back up. This is really blunt but if you flunk out of college you're of no use to the fraternity.

Since you're so close to initiation you should talk to your pledge educator and explain your situation and what is required of actives (though you should have a good grasp of what the actives do by now).

If you realize you can't handle classes and just being an active brother maybe you should depledge. Your grades should come first.

Have you talked to your pledge trainer? He's the one you should be speaking to about your concerns or your depledging.

He didn't listen

Yeah, I just checked the Fraternity Recruitment forum and saw that you told him the same thing at 11:39 am yesterday. But, seriously, why doesn't he know to talk to his pledge trainer about this anyway?

Because that would require actual effort on his part! Can't have that!

I call bogus on this guy.

In the remote case that this is not bogus, the way to quit is to say to your pledge educator or president, "I quit" and hand in your pin.

Pay up any dues owed for this month so you're paid up. Check with the chapter treasurer to see if you are paid up. Type up a letter with today's date stating that you are dropping out of pledgeship. Sign the letter. Give to your pledgemaster with any pin or paraphernalia you have been given. CC a copy to the president and chapter adviser.
