To pledge or not to pledge

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, I’m glad this is changing/has changed. If I go to Bama, I’ll be coming from like 12-13 hours away OOS, and apparently there are events in the spring for H.S. seniors that you are supposed to go to if you want to rush. Is that true? Are they optional?</p>

<p>I had always figured that when you were a freshman or sophomore in the fall you went to a couple of houses and from that you picked a house based on which house offered you a bid. Nothing done while in H.S… Am I missing something, or misinterpreting something?</p>
