This name zapped out a lot of my motivation because if I cross, I will have it forever, and be called this damned name in every greek setting. To me pooh means poop, and I can never get over that. What should I do?

You know, a friend of mine also had the pledge name as pledge, although I think its his brother name too. He played a club sport with several previously greek members who all called him pledge while he was pledging so it just correlated to the fraternity. I think his jersey has pledge written on the back. Oddly enough he was the rush chair for Spring (different fraternity than mine)

Haha.. I was Upledge. And yes, that was my official nickname. Inside joke and a long story, but yea. Kinda funny.
