A GOAL FOR PLEDGING Pledge week is frequently dreaded, but not by AGO's pledges, because instead of pledges serving members, AGO members served their pledges. "It was one reason I joined the club, " Kevin Crumley said. "AGO acted on the idea of servanthood. That was how they conducted pledge week. " The goal of Alpha Gamma Omega 's pledge week was to get to know the new members. "We tried not to intimidate the pledges. We just wanted to get to know them and create friendships, " President Jason Looney said. The idea of servanthood extended to the other pledges around campus . When sponsor Rick Healy found a pledge having difficulty with the week's events, he asked AGO pledges to write the person an encouraging note. "The point ofAGO is to serve people - whether or not they are members of AGO, " Looney said. "During rough night, AGO members really became imitators of Christ," Crumley said. "We had a devo and then the members washed our feet. They gave us towels to commemorate the event. After that , they treated us to a pizza party. " "Pledge week set the tone for the rest of the semester," Looney said. AGO's principle of servanthood blessed them. "We have become a tight-knit group of guys, " Crumley said. - Julie Anderson ''AGO acted on the idea of servanthood. That was how they conducted pledge week."
