no joke. as a pledge you will spend 6-8 weeks pledging, and it will take up all your time. You have to be with your pledge class getting things together when your not "on call" by the sorority and doing their bidding. I took 4 classes when I pledged, none of which were hard-saved those for later. I actually had one of my best semesters when I pledged because of study hours. you will not be able to predict when you'll have time to study, and you'll be tired. so, make it a light semester. Once your in, you have more free time and won't have to worry about it-only a few nights a week for stuff and only a couple of hours. Try to pledge when you don't have tough classes. Pledging is all about working together and being organized. I do think you shuld pledge if you can. I graduated 6 yrs. ago and still see my alumni sisters and the active sisters. we have a house, so it's a place we all gather. I have made some of the best friends through pledging, and I don't regret it at all. Besides a career, it's the best thing you'll get out of college and the tightese bond you'll find.
