What Would We Call Pledging

A chronicle of what Pledges endure at the hands of ruthless Brothers, Pledge Staff and Educators. This is the life of a Pledge.

I'm Back!

Hey ALL!

Sorry I have been MIA these summer, internship was a doosey and I was soaking up the sun with my Brothers and Sisters on the beach and hittin' the clubs at night. But with school rearing it's oh so beautiful head and late night study sessions in the library right around the corner, that means Rush will be underway and Pledging in the not so distant future! AND! that means, I'll be back with new material in the days and weeks to comes. Seeing as how Rush and Pledging is every changing, let me know what you do to your rushes and pledges, and as always, if you have an idea for a post, submit it, and I'll make it!

 Have a great first semester, everyone! And stay tuned.

Rush on Rush on Rush. How I feel after every event

Hey All!

I'll be taking a short break from complaining about Pledging to post things about Rush!!! I am really excited to be on the other side (HYFRRRRR!!!) Don't worry, the funny will still be there! Let me know if you all have any suggestions for posts or if there is anything you want to see. Have fun with all your Rushes!

Trying to subtly let a Rush know they aren't a right fit

Remembering what Rush was like and trying to figure your voice, like Ariel after she lost it

Can I just say that this past semester, I pledged a sorority and I found your blog tonight and it is absolutely perfect. I might not have been in a frat, but I pledged for 11 weeks and it was basically hell and every one of your posts is spot on perfect. I'm sharing it with all my pledge sisters and they love it too. A+ job sir!

hahahaaa! Thank you! I made fun of one of my friends (a girl) when she was pledging because I didn't believe the horrors, then I started pledging a semester later and I realized it was all true lol I finished pledging and everything, but when I think back to it, there is still SOOO much I haven't complained about lol

I started following this blog because I definitely do relate to it 100%. I joined while I was pledging. I'm curious though. Is your experience panhellenic? If so, I didn't know the guys went through all this.

cool beans! Just so I am sure I know what panhellenic means, it is the governing body of all greek life or greek life for just sororities? I am in a co-ed frat so I am not sure id that has anything to do with it lol
