*"Pledgeship" is easier to say than "the new member period."

I agree - good description.
I remember when I participated in the ceremony as a new member/pledge (this was 25+ years ago), and how it felt to be without my new member pin afterward. I do think the ceremony helped me get in the right frame of mind for initiation, which happened shortly thereafter.
