Commitment week IRT reinstates pledge week; places time limit on activities Another change emergedwhen each club was limited to a fourhour time period for each day 's activities. This time was filled differently by each club. Many clubs combined efforts for silly olympics, shaving cream fights or talent shows. Regardless of how the clubs chose to spend the day, each made the most of their four hours together. Most students, especially the ones who had become members of a club in 1994, were reHeved with the change. "I think the new system is better both academically and emotionally because everyone can focus completely on pledge week and then get back to school work, " Kruse said. Swackhamer was glad to see the return to the one-week system. "With everything happening at once, there was more unity because the pledges really had to stick together for encouragement," he said. The 1995 process was positively received by the newcomers as well, even though they could not compare it to the previous year. "I was really busy, but overall I had a lot of fun and made some good memories, " Kevin Parrish, a 1995 inductee, said. Looking back over the difficult process of change, one can say that the results were positive. "The system now gives pledges some safetywithout limiting the activities too much," Kruse said. -Diana King Seminoles. PaulNeil, amember ofSeminoles, talks to a friend in theStudent Center.
