I don't like the idea of surfacing because it does little more than give you the impetus to continue pledging right before things get really bad.
You might want to speak for yourself and perhaps where you're from. I've been greek over 17 years now (and currently active and working with undergrad members) and this is the first I'm hearing of "surfacing," so it's not a universal word, not at all.
