I'm curious...How do the pledges know the brothers to even make even one
choice let alone 3 choices?  Right now, I attend the meetings and service
projects of Mu Eta chapter because I'm on CoOP, and the pledges know the
brothers somewhat...but like even me..I've spent more time with the
brothers than the current Pledges so far and I only know half the chapter
by name.  When I pledged the only person that I knew was the Membership
V.P.  The pledgemaster was trying to calm my fears before the initiation
ceremony but I was thinking "Who is this person?"  Now, there's a
possibility that you do a better job of acquainting the pledges with the
brotherhood during RUSH so that they can make this choice, but I'm just
asking :)
Take care and Have a Great Day!! :=)
