Ah... there's nothing quite like this time in the semester...

Spring has sprung, little bambis are wandering all over the place with their thumper friends... and it's that time in the semester where hazing really gets going since everyone will be initiating spring classes soon.

I love how professional and cultural interest "fraternities and sororities" can get away with hazing so much more easily than true Greeks can. Just because they use Greek letters doesn't make them truly Greek. They're really just posers.

I was walking past The Clock Tower a few nights ago after hanging out with some friends from high school and what do I see? The Pre-Med Fraternity has their pledges in white boxers, bras, and underwear. And the initiated members were standing around with various types of bandages and red marker. I didn't really stay long enough for the hazing ritual since I was just passing through but it looked incredibly un-fun. Especially since it was about 40 last night.

And then last night, The Guitar Hero and I were coming back from The Open 24 Hour Restaurant with a few people from The Mansion and their girlfriends and as we pull into the parking lot, we see The Black Interest Sorority with a bunch of their pledges dressed all in dark clothing. I wouldn't be too surprised if they were going to go raid The Black Frat... it seems to me that the multicultural "Greek" orgs always pair up like that. And they all inter-date. It's a little incestuous if you think about it... dating your brother fraternity... Thank God The House doesn't have a brother fraternity. Wouldn't that suck if you broke up with some guy in that house and then your house did all kinds of events with them? How unnecessarily dramatic and irritating... especially if your brother fraternity was a bad one.
