The pledge parents duties include which action?

• A. Up to two members, serve as assistants to the pledgemasters; at least one must be present at E board meetings if neither pledge master can attend; exercise inclusivity and ensure pledges feel included.
• B. Manage public relations and social media accounts.
• C. Plan rush week and coordinate events.
• D. Organize service events.

Answer: (A)

Pledge parents are meant to support the pledges and act as mentors within the pledge process. The duties include appointing up to two members to assist the pledgemasters, creating a small, dependable team to handle pledge-related tasks and mentorship. Having a pledge parent at Executive Board meetings whenever neither pledgemaster can attend keeps leadership decisions connected to the pledging process and ensures the pledges’ needs are represented. The emphasis on inclusivity reinforces the goal of making pledges feel welcomed, supported, and integrated into the chapter during this period. Tasks like managing public relations, planning rush week, or organizing service events are typically handled by other committees, not by pledge parents.
