How should a pledge address senior brothers during the pledge process?

Also,
Am I right in assuming you are trying to pledge an IFC fraternity, and not the BGLO ones (pre-dominantly black)?

This is not a predominantly black fraternity. It is a local frat that was established 9 years ago, and as such is not part of a larger international organization.

I prefer the pledges to bow like Obama before they address.

When they do address me, it should be a long drawn out laudatory address which includes "greatest" about five times and some sort of insult regarding the other fraternities and then bow when he's done.
