Being in a social club offers tremendous blessings, challenges and overall enjoyable experiences. But at the same time, pledging means developing friendships with both people of the same class and people from other classes, working on service projects and having fun with a large of group of friends. For many people, that trade-off is a beneficial one. Anything worth doing is worth working for. If social clubs weren't worth the experience of pledging, they would become non-existent.
People make social clubs.
The relationships formed make social clubs worthwhile. Few other activities afford the opportunity to make friends with about 100 people in a time span of six weeks. But it doesn't stop there. Just like any organization, social clubs offer opportunities for leadership, service and development of spiritual gifts. All of this, from a group of people you might never have known otherwise.
