GRIDIRON on PARADE
PLEDGE CLASSES
The primary source for this listing is Phillips University yearbooks. Some of the yearbooks from the 40s listed the pledges, so that was relatively easy. After that, it was mostly extrapolation. Some of the yearbooks listed information about each senior - organizations, activities, etc. If a senior was listed as having been in Gridiron 4 years, I listed him as having pledged as a second semester freshman. Not very scientific, but, at least, it got me started. As I have learned directly from members when they pledged and who was in their pledge class, I amended that roster.
Therefore this roster may contain errors and duplications. If you have corrections or additions to this listing, please send them to Tom Walker at: menofgridiron@yahoo.com
