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.
