The Phi Mu Alpha on my campus actually still calls them pledges . . . hmmm . . . we call our new members "membership candidates".

Our Headquarters has asked us to use Candidate, and all of our offical forms use that. In our chapter, we usualy use Candidate, though the old form of Pledge still slips through.

We just seem to call them the new girls, it even sticks after they are initiated till we get a newer pledge class. No one seems to mind and it sounds better than new members.

Especially when threads like this have an updated counterpart from this decade!

Newbies who don't understand that you look at dates before you reply to a thread?

Nothing wrong with bumping an old thread (don't we always tell folks to do a search?) as long as they're moving the conversation along.
