What's your New Member Manual Called?

[sairose]

Manual for Members.

How exciting.

I'm not sure if it's actually meant to be a "new member manual" or a historical book, but the one I was given is called "The Legacy of Gamma Phi Beta - Love Labor Learning Loyalty".

That's actually just the history book. The manual our new members usually get is called the Lifetime Membership Manual, although I am not sure that all chapters are still distributing it.

[CougADPi]

Not original but its called "The Alpha Delta Pi Handbook"

[Zetagymnast]

Line Manual

Not exciting at all

The old one was called "The Legion of Honor".

The new one is just LEAD Phase I.

I have no idea. Any Tri Delts know?
All I know is the day after our pledging ceremony we were handed CDs. They crashed 2 girls computers. I didn't even bother putting it in mine.
I was very upset that our new member books are on CDs... espeically ones that crash computers.
The book from my local was called "Alpha Theta Phi Pledge Book".

Our history, info about NPC etc. is on a CD but the activity manual the NMs follow and track their progress is in a book - you actually use it through all 4 phases of Advantage. I wish they'd dispense with the CD and put the history back in book form as well.

We're still pledges, even at the international level, and it is a tradition I'm glad we still keep - "new members" implies, to me at least, a little too much certainty that one will become an initiated member of an organization.

I agree. We call ours "probationary members," which indicates it's not a done deal yet. We still use "pledge" as a verb -- e.g., he pledged last spring.

Good point about the issue of using the term "new member". Never liked that term and never considered that.

My Fraternity still uses the term "pledge". I had no issued with the term when I pledged. This mindset of using the term is hazing, then having to come up with a new term is silly.

"probationary members" atleast better conveys what a pledge is then some of the other terms used. But pledge is shorter and simpler.

I like the idea of CDS. Ours has really peaceful background music and I really enjoyed it. However, I do wish we had gotten it in book form as well.

Our manual doesn't have a specific name, but it comes in a book called a PEARL Planner, modeled off of the Franklin Covey planners. It's TRES cool
