1) As a male brother, the best thing I've learned is you let them put the
back of the pin on or the whole thing. I know this violates "tradition" of
the brother pinning the pledge, but with times, things must be changed.
2) Seeing as how our rituals are very anti-hazingish, it's not a big deal. I
don't think there are many spies out there trying to find out our rituals. I
think a location of such importance is actually kinda cool. It's not like
you're doing it in the dead middle of your student center, as students are
flowing through.
