Be enrolled as a full-time student at the University of Washington Bothell

PLEDGE EXPECTATIONS

When you receive an invitation to pledge, you are receiving an invitation to learn and grow alongside your peers throughout an intensive 4-6 week long process. The process is designed to help you grow personally and professionally, shaping you into a young business professional of the highest caliber.

Pledges are taught about our Fraternity’s history and operational requirements, while honing their soft skills through leadership development and team-building events put on by your Pledge Education team.

Pledges are each paired with a Big Brother, who will act their mentor during and after their pledging process. At the end of the pledging process, pledges are considered for formal initiation into the chapter.

Weekly meetings in person on Tuesdays
Online modules and quizzes with a final exam at the end of the process
Various events to help you get to know your future brothers!

recruitment faq

WHAT CRITERIA ARE USED TO DETERMINE WHO RECEIVES AN INVITATION TO PLEDGE?

We don't adhere to a rigid template for the ideal candidate within our chapter, as we highly prize a variety of skills and perspectives. Nonetheless, we seek individuals who exhibit a proactive mindset, teamwork mentality, and promise for personal, and career advancement.

Some qualities that we look for in recruits include professional aptitude, willingness to learn and contribute, and a high trajectory for growth.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INVITED TO PLEDGE PER RECRUITMENT CYCLE?

Our chapter doesn't establish a predetermined quota for recruits before recruitment begins. The quantity of invitations we offer fluctuates and is contingent upon the pool of qualified candidates available. In past years, pledge classes have ranged from as few as 10 members to as many as 30 during the autumn recruitment period.
