Three clubs welcome Bid Night pledges

February 1, 2012 by Mark Smith

Pledging returned to campus Friday night as three social clubs accepted pledges for spring Bid Night.

Students pledged to men’s clubs Frater Sodalis and Pi Kappa and the recently rechartered women’s club, Zeta Rho. The pledging process will last three weeks this semester.

Tara Lowe, sophomore elementary education major from Springtown and co-recharterer of Zeta Rho, said Bid Night was an exciting experience.

“We’ve been working on this for a long time, so it was great to see Bid Night finally happen,” Lowe said. “It helped us to grow closer together and learn more about each other.”

Jake Hall, sophomore music major from Springtown, pledged Pi Kappa on Bid Night. He said Friday night was an encouraging experience.

“Every part of the night was intentional,” Hall said. “Everything was about building up the group, and rebuilding it as a whole.”

Lowe said she’d planned on being a part of Zeta Rho since spring of last year.

“I found this at the end of freshman year and decided that it was for me,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to getting to know the girls in the club better.”

Hall said he decided to pledge Pi Kappa about a week before the spring deadline.

“I’m an RA in Mabee Hall, and a few of the other RA’s in the dorm told me they were going to pledge Pi Kappa because the process wouldn’t last as long as fall pledging,” Hall said. “Then I learned more about the club, what it stands for and what the guys in the club are like, and I decided I wanted to do it too.”

Hall said the idea of uplifting community within the club intrigued him.

“I was looking for brotherhood outside the dorm,” he said. “I love the guys in my hall, but I’m looking forward to spending time with guys who are my age and I don’t have to be an RA around.”
