Constitutional Amendment: Katelyn I. proposed that Article 4, Section 1B: 7L be changed from “Neither the Pledgemaster nor the Assistant Pledgemaster shall take a Little except in extenuating circumstances.” to “The Pledgemaster cannot take a Little except in extenuating circumstances.” The proposal was voted on, and was passed with an overwhelming majority.
