Great story! Thanks so much for sharing it - and your honest assessment of the whole situation is refreshing. As a fellow Arkansan, I completely understand what you are saying. KD was young on that campus when you pledged and it takes time for a group to get past the reputation of being the "new" kid.
Regarding the pref ceremony. Each year, houses try to hone their pref ceremony to find just the right mix of messages that will 'speak' to the pnms. Personally, the mention of God and prayer would not have bothered me, but it would probably depend on how it was said. The main thing about your experience is that it clicked with you - and that was enough for you to know that KD was something special.
Thanks for sharing. Where did you roomie pledge?
