I hear "Baby Owls" far too often. I do not like the term and as far as I know, the HQ still discourages it.

I stand with others who never had a problem with the term pledge. It is/was a perfectly good word -- both the noun and the verb.

I do not like the term "new member," but I use it to be correct.

Technically, I see the new members as probationary members until their initiation, which for us is the next semester.
