"What Do We Owe Aspirants?"
NOTHING
We do not owe them anything, they are the ones who want what we have. Now we can answer certain questions that they may have, but we dont owe them anything. If they want it bad enough they find what they are looking for. We can give them advice, but they have to want it. We can answer questions but they have step up, and be man enough or woman enough to ask. We cant just baby and hand feed every aspiring G. D. I. No one did it for me, and I dont think that we should do it for them.
"People tend to forget how intimidated or scared they were when they wished to join an organization."
I agree with this statement. When persuing an organization, everyone was nervous at one point or another, but moreso for the reasons that laidback gave. "What kind of person do they see me as?", "Do they feel that I am worthy enough?" Those questions pose the greatest discomfort in any G. D. I. (We were all there) but as I said before, can help and give them a little bit of advice, but they have to suck it up and ask.
Before we can help anyone, they have to help themselves. This might be difficult for them to do, but who said that it was supposed to be easy?

laidback I have to say that I actually like what you have to say because youo are ever so honest. But really what do you own aspirants....I say nothing.
But what about people that fall into unfortunate situations when pledging sorority or fraternity XYZ. Like maybe at the time that they were in the "process" a package was denied, or someone died, or someone had an accident and had to delay their process. What do you owe those people that have to wait for certain things to fall into place?
