<p>I am an engineer. Can my GPA handle 2nd semester pledging, or will my upperclassmen frat brothers totally destroy me?</p>
<p>Depends on the house. Entirely on the house.</p>
<p>It can be done, but won't be easy in most cases.</p>
<p>i know it depends on house, but could you give a rough idea of how hard fall pledging is? i.e. how big of a time commitment is there?</p>
<p>That's something that you'll have to ask a large number of people to find out, because it depends largely on the house.</p>
<p>It seems as though pledging ranges from the equivalent of 2 credits per week to about ten credits per week, depending on the house. Some houses are notoriously hard on their pledges (in terms of both tasks and time committment), and others have reputations for being easier.</p>
<p>I don't want to list specific greek organizations to prevent anyone from getting angry, but if you PM me a house I can tell you what I've heard about the pledge process there. I have at least one friend in just about every house on campus.</p>
