I certanily don't. It is similar to what I did when Pledging back in 1993.
We had notebooks and the brothers could write a message in addition to
signing, occasionally asking questions which we as the pledges had to find
the answers to. I still have my pledge book, and will look at it from time
to time. See what some of my now really good friends (including my best
friend who was Matron of Honor in my wedding last year) wrote when I first
meet them, when they were brothers and I was a pleadge. I like to have such
a good reminder of what was a very happy time/experiance for me.
On another - similar note. We required interview with all active brothers -
one semestar one of the pledged did not get my interview till the last
possible second - (about an hour or so before voting). I had made myself
avalible on serveral occasions, told the pledges jsut stop by my room
sometime even. Yet this pledge did not think it important enough. If I
hadn't made the extra effort to track down said pledge that day - they would
not have had all the requirments to even be brought up for voting.
