What is new member education?
This "education process" allows potential new members, often called affiliates or pledges, to learn about each other, the histories and traditions of their respective organizations, current members, philanthropies, and Fraternity & Sorority Life at the University of Cincinnati. Once new member education is completed, new members become official brothers and sisters - full members of their organizations! Some chapters refer to their newly initiated members as "neophytes" or "neos."
