What does a pledge involve?

The pledge training program is to create personal

educational

development for each person for making a

good fraternal member and

build the solid brotherhood

of Deaf Leather Fraternity.

Before becoming a pledge or setting a goal to be a

fraternal member

of Deaf Leather Fraternity, each

member takes a careful consideration

whether he can

lead a true fraternal life.

Each member assumes the responsibilities and duties of

membership

set by Deaf Leather Fraternity.

The pledge member is treated with the same respect

and courtesy as

a fraternal member.

During the pledge training program, he and other

members are

expected to support with each other

throughout the process. The

pledging activities are

educational, plentiful and exciting.

We seeks to better not only ourselves, but also the

community we

lives in and we supports the principles of

Love, Honor, and Truth.

perceive and it is NOT same as hazing.

DLF Boot Camp refers the initiation as "the rites of

leadership training,

developing discipline of positive characters - "the
