Which statement describes the role of the Pledge Parents?

• A. Up to two members organize pledge classes and track attendance.
• B. Up to two members serve as assistants to the pledgemasters. At least one must be present at E board meetings if neither pledge master can attend. Exercise inclusivity and make sure all pledges feel included.
• C. They coordinate rush week with pledgemasters.
• D. They manage fundraising for pledges.

Answer: (B)

The role of Pledge Parents is to provide support and ensure inclusivity during the pledge process. Two members act as assistants to the pledgemasters, stepping in to help with duties as needed, and at least one must be present at E-board meetings if neither pledgemaster can attend. This focus on backing up the pledgemasters and fostering a welcoming environment for pledges emphasizes the supportive, inclusive function of Pledge Parents, rather than taking on direct administrative tasks like organizing pledge classes, coordinating rush week, or fundraising, which belong to other roles.
