Through the entire process of pledging, you become close with everyone and you create a bond in which no one could understand unless they've gone through it. When the going gets tough within your organization, the important thing to realize is that opinions and feelings aren't always going to coincide with yours. Being a member of my sorority, there are 25 opinions and thoughts to work with. It is a long-winded process to come to any conclusions.
