Pledge Duties

It's nice to know that things have largely remained the same.

Agreed. I got this out of the Pledge Manual for someone who pledged in Spring 1946. I'm sure that the 'war effort' part was ignored at the time...

Replace the "all men in" with "all members of" and replace #2 with something about the 6 S's and I think you are just about ready to go in the year 2010!

If these are the requirements for Initiation, only myself and 1 other Brother would be in the chapter.

It's nice to know that when I was designing my chapter's pledge program I was on target with what was originally taught. I didn't have this list (and at the time never thought of looking too much at the national documents) but these were the requirements that I forced through on my chapter. Unfortunately, after I left the brethren felt this was too stringent and watered down the program. Oh, well

Keep in mind, initiation is the official term for the ceremony that you go through to become an active member, not the ceremony you go through to become a pledge.

Pledge Ceremony -> called "initiation" by most people
Initiation -> called "activation" by most people

Not sure how/why people call them different things, but it is what it is.

Wow, most people are dumb.

Sorry, it's true though.
