The Meaning of a Pledge

The following is the contents of an email sent to me and other pledge members from the dedicated active member, Sharon Cadig. It was sent on November 19, 2003.

For those of you who do not know the meaning of a Pledge.

The purpose of a Pledge Program is:

to make it possible for Pledges to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to function as effective active Members of this National Service Fraternity. Therefore, the ultimate aim of every pledging period is to teach the worth of human dignity, promote academic scholarship, instill a commitment to continuing service, provide opportunities to participate in leadership development experiences, and cultivate friendship among the Pledges and with the active Members. Pledge Programs should also ensure that Pledges become thoroughly familiar with the principles, ideals, and heritage of Alpha Phi Omega.

Please refer to your Pledge Manual and National Website.

Also, I believe only 38 Pledges received this. Who's missing? 

Again, if there is anything that is profoundly bothering any of you, please say something so we can fix it, especially those with a stress level of 9.

BTW, If someone approaches you and asks: How can you be a fraternity if you don't have a house?

What do you say?

Yours Truly,

Big Sis Sharon
