Pledge Education Course

[Royal_Blue_True]

So we set the pledge class project, it is going to take place during NOEL NIGHT!
The pc president is talking to the Detroit Public Library, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, and Barnes and Noble, all venues that host Noel Night events.
The pledges are doing Cards for smiles, which is where we give cards to the terminally ill at Childrens hospital. They have a lot of rules, and the cards have to be laminated once we finish drawing them all, but I am confident in the pledges!
Noel Night is a big thing in Midtown Detroit, and we hope that a lot of community members will stop by and help make the cards.
As an incentive, everyone who does a card gets a blueberry candy cane and a thank you note!
This will be fun!

When is Noel night? Initiation will be before Xmas, right?

Noel Night is December 1st, the deadline for their service project to be completed is December 2nd, and they will initiate on December 9th, the 6th anniversay of Zeta Pi's rechartering!

Its a tight schedule, I will admit, but good ol' Wayne State and late final exams makes it almost nessecary. We like to have everyone intiated before finals start; one less thing to worry about.

Cool. I hope there is no problem with the Noel Night...

I definitely agree with initiations before finals. Fall semester tends to be particularly tight...

I know of only one chapter that pledges in the Fall Semester and initiates in the Spring, Theta chapter at UVA. I've never gotten a straight answer as to whether time not in school should count toward the time in the 6-10 weeks, but given as far as I can tell Theta has been doing this longer than the current Region III Director has been a brother, I doubt that they are going to get in trouble for that. I definitely wouldn't recommend a chapter changing to that...

Apparently, the pledge class president just notified me that Childrens Hospital does not accept donated cards, even if laminated.
But the pledge class vp of service works there, and she said they said it was okay.
We have to get to the bottom of this, or pick another project... FAST.

Hate to get derivative, but just in case, what is UDM's pledge class doing?

GAHHH!!! I have totally been slacking on the inter-chapter events.
There meetings are WAAAAY later than ours on Sundays. Since no one in the chapter has a car (my husbands car died) and trying to go anywhere on the bus on a sunday ensures you will be waiting for at least two hours, I dont know.

I am going to be giving them a call, should have done it WAAAAYYYY sooner.
