I just wanted to bounce it off of y'all before I asked him. Thank you for the input!

Eh, I don't know if I'd send any food with him being a pledge. This may be seen as trying too hard to get a bid. And a cake is a little.. weird to me. I guess? I don't know.

I'd wait until after he's in the fraternity. Then send all the food you want! (with his permission, of course)

He already has signed his bid if he's a pledge.

He may become known as the food pledge. Not a bad thing.

Right. But if Teke is like most other fraternities, he's not a brother until he's initiated.

I think I'd wait until after he's initiated to do things like that. Then have at it!

I agree, wait until he is initiated and then send him with brownies, cookies, bags of chips, dips, cut up sandwiches, etc. (skip the sheet cake ).

Sorry, totally not what I meant. Haha. One of those moments where I knew what I was saying, but not really. I meant trying to hard to be "liked"... it comes off a little desperate.

I don't know. I just wouldn't do it until I was a brother, I guess.

But then I also think it depends on the chapter and the "campus culture," so to speak.
