Last semester, I saw the pledges carrying around books.   What is that all about?
In order to teach and emphasize professionalism, we require one day a week that the pledges must carry their pledge books, to simulate carrying a day-planner, and other business necessities.

Currently, the pledge period is eight weeks long.

If I do all the work expected of me as a pledge, do I automatically become an active member?
No.  The active body is still required to vote to accept you as an active member.   If you act professional during the pledge period, you should not have anything to worry about it. 

Is there any hazing?
NO!!  Under our national policy, no hazing of any kind is allowed.  We are a professional business fraternity, and that is how we act.
