You know what time of the year it is when the student center is constantly packed to the brim — pledge week. Pledges and active members of clubs linger in the crowded center throughout the day to socialize, reminisce and sign those beloved signature pages. All the chaos that goes on is hard to ignore, whether you are in a social club or not. With a lack of sleep and sanity, you’ll see the pledges performing skits, dancing, singing, greeting and many more activities. The Thursday of pledge week marks the Lipscomb holiday known as ‘square day.’ All the pledges from each club get their moment to shine while fellow students gather around to watch. Thirty minutes before the commotion begins, you will find the square completely vacant. Just as chapel releases and the pledges make their way, the square fills with hundreds of students ready to watch the day’s...

Yes, it is that time of year again: pledging. With 13 social clubs, Lipscomb students have plenty of opportunities to get involved on campus. Students wanting to get involved in their favorite clubs must go through the rush and pledge process. A Greek life rush fair kicked off the beginning of this semester where perspectives were provided with information about each individual club. Once those who are interested attend open rushes and official perspectives, the active members of the clubs vote on who to give closed rush invitations to. After closed rush, chosen students are given a bid and then partake in bid night on Feb. 16. From then on and for the next ten days, the pledging process begins. “My favorite part about the pledging process was getting to know the girls I pledged with on a deeper level,” said Phi Sigma’s Pledge Mistress. “I wouldn’t trade that friendship for anything, and it really did change my experience at Lipscomb.” So, ready or not, the pledging process is about to begin. And even though you may lack sleep and sanity during the wonderful week of pledging, it is guaranteed to be ten days you will never forget. Please upgrade your...
