nce Squeal Night was over, and Fraternity bids had been given out, a semester and a half of pledgeship began. As pledges set out on their quest to be initiated, they learned the meanings of words such as creed, philanthropy, chapter, and Na- tionals. Pledge tests, pledge projects, pledge class philanthropies and the choice of a Pledge Class Sweetheart all became a daily part of life for a pledge or associate. Parties, mixers, Formals, Semi-For- mals, and Pledge Bashes all added up to a busy semester for those individuals who opted for Greek life.

Booths were seen periodically set up in the Student Center as pledge classes tried to raise money for their projects. Phi Mu pledges sold bal- loons, warm fuzzies were sold by the Zeta Tau Alpha class, Chi Omega pledges sold mistletoe at Christmas and the Delta Zeta pledges held make-up clinics and distributed Lady Love cosmetics.

Pledges were an important ingredi- ent to any sorority or fraternity. They supported their chapter in Step-Sing. Intramurals, and Greek Week. Yet, for any pledge the most excit- ing part of pledgeship was initiation week. As the secrets of their group were revealed to them and they were installed as a brother or sister the months of pledging all became worthwhile. -Halfflt l url Hizlgt 71 'ooo atteir a' Phi Mu pledges take time out of their party to g f ff h F ll 85 Pledge Bash. i l
