GPA

Cumulative GPA of at least 2.5, and at least 1 credit hour from a music class or ensemble.

Because you must have a GPA to pledge,
most first semester freshmen are not eligible.

Musicale:

Each pledge class is required to perform a musicale. The required songs to perform as a group include The Whistle Song, Pan in Canon, SAI Chorale, So Near So Dear, the SAI chant and any others the VP Membership teaches the pledge class. In addition, each pledge must perform a piece of music with no more than three people in a group; hence, solos, duets and trios are acceptable.

Service Project:

Each pledge class is required to perform an act of service. The pledge class officers must decide the specifics of this project. For help on finding projects please contact the service chair.

Fundraising:

The VP membership will announce a fundraiser for each MIT class.

Family Tree:

Build a family tree using creativity and talent. The goal is to work as a class to complete this project. The VP Membership will explain size requirements.
