Pledge Leadership Workshop
Pledge Leadership Workshop (PLW) is an event held in previous terms under Pledge Parents, usually as a requirement to cross. It is usually held near the end of the pledging term, and its nature varies by Pledge Parent. In terms past, PLW would be an event at which Pledge Parents would teach or have actives or alumni teach workshops to develop pledges' leadership skills. Other times, PLW is designated as the portion of Pledge Retreat during which pledges divide into committees they are interested in joining to learn about them. Since Spring 2009, PLW has been an event at which pledges teach workshops on either a topic of the group's choice, or a topic assigned to them by the Pledge Parents. This latest form of PLW is intended to promote pledges' presentation skills, project management skills, teamwork, and more.
Modern PLW
During Spring 2009, each Pledge Group was required to host one 20-30 minute workshop on any given topic at the Pledge Leadership Workshop. Next, in Fall 2009, the Pledge Parents randomly assigned pledge groups to teach a workshop in an area of Leadership, Friendship, or Service. In Spring 2010, PLW was in roughly the same format as in the previous term, but with the intent to attract members from other chapters to attend. As a result, PLW in this term was renamed to Pledge Leadership Summit (PLS).
