The pledging process is equivalent to a 3 credit class or an internship and allows for pledges to learn about the history of the fraternity.

Pledges are taught about our Fraternity’s history and operational requirements, while honing their soft skills through leadership development and team-building events put on by your Pledge Education class.

Pledges are each paired with a Big Brother, who will act as their mentor during and after their pledging process.

At the end of the pledging process, pledges are considered for formal initiation into the chapter.
