Oath

So our blog prompt this past week seemed simple enough. After all, it was only one word. however, this one word holds a lot of meaning, especially to somebody who has taken an oath. As discussed in class, there are not that many times in your life when you take an oath. Confirmation, pledging a fraternity or sorority, and marriage are some that i can think of. These are very serious promises you make to uphold a set of values

For a fraternity or sorority, these pledges are often made without full knowledge of what they're doing. Initiation is often a hectic and confusing process, and new members aren't sure exactly what they're promising. Looking back, i know i promised to be a good citizen and sister and to help others follow this same path. However, i wish it was more clear as to what we were promising. I know we can't divulge the secrets of our initiation before the process, but i wish we could find some way to better prepare our new members so they understand the full extent of what they were promising. Perhaps this would help once they girls became active.
