The Cornell Chapter decided to add a new event to our eight week new member education process this semester: an overnight hiking and camping trip. The Pledge Master and Pledge Educator (our two positions in charge of the new member education process), along with one other active, took the seven pledges on an overnight hike from 9/10 to 9/11. They hiked in about a mile and a half, spent the night at a scenic overlook, and then hiked several more miles the following day.
This event served as a great way to bond the pledge class together quickly. Despite getting rained on at the very end, the trip was a huge success and something we will continue to do in future semesters.
