yea i agree, something i dont agree with that my chapter does is to let pledgy's in the circle for the toast song, i dont think you should be allow to do that until you are a brother. does any other chapter do this, also i dont agree with wearing letter that arent blue and gold, there is a reason for these colors and to wear any other im my eyes is disrespect, i hate to see brothers waering letter with like littel cartoon characters in them. Also i hate to meet brother who dont know our founding date and basic info. does anyone feel the sameway or disagree?

Pledges in circle- the ceremony calls for it, so its ok. I feel this is part of their training to learn the song, and advocate that pledges sing the song at the end of each pledge training session, and join with the chapter to sing it at the end of meetings & events.

Letter colors- while I prefer blue & gold, I don't get worked up about other colors.

Lack of knowledge- yes, this bothers me. I feel there is a basic set of knowledge that ALL Brothers should learn as pledges, and it bothers me when I met those that don't know stuff like this. Their chapter is doing a poor job of educating their pledges (and future Brothers). To help this, I developed a series of powerpoint presentations with accompanying worksheets that chapters may use in their pledge program.
