Pledge Duties

Maybe it's a regional thing? Just about every chapter I encounter here the midwest uses the incorrect terms.

I KNOW what I said. I meant Initiation as in the ceremony that you go through to become an Active Brother. Only two people (me and somebody else) in the chapter know the material that all Brothers are supposed to know by Initiation.

In the North Pledge Ceremony is called Induction, Brother Ceremony is called Initiation

No, the correct terms are Pledge Ceremony and Initiation. Induction is just as dumb as using "Initiation" and "Activation"

I'm way out of my lane, I know . . .

. . . but this made me curious. In just a few minutes, I found a variety of uses at APO's national website. While the national bylaws refer to the "Pledge Ceremony," the Pledge Trainer's Handbook (p. 4) says,

The first and last steps in the pledge process are the Fraternity’s Induction and Initiation Ceremonies.

FWIW.

You have a decal issued by the Senusret I Swerving Authority which allows you in this lane.

Grievances can be filed with me directly.
