Pledgeship is a probationary period during which the new members of Shoemaker get to know Shoemaker actives and learn the rules and policies of the house. During pledgeship, new members organize social events with other houses, fulfill mandatory study hours, organize a pledge class philanthropy, compete in an all-cooperative serenades contest, and complete a home improvement project for the house. Each new member is matched with a big sis, who is a Shoemaker active that is available to mentor her throughout her pledge semester.
