On October 1st, over 80 brothers and alumni gathered, prepared, and participated in the first ritual that all new members of Cook Chapter must go through. The night not only provided a great opportunity for brothers to catch up with alumni, but also for brothers and alumni to meet the prospective Pi class and to welcome them into the pledging process. These prospective pledges met their bigs for the first time and were welcomed by their family members who were to help and guide them through the pledging process in the hopes of them becoming brothers at initiation.
