Night 1

Dear Blog,

Tonight was the first night all of the new pledges got a feel for what it means to be an Alpha Sigma Sigma brother., and let me tell you, they didn’t know what hit them! First we blindfolded them and walked them into the AΣΣ basement (which hasn’t been cleaned since last years initiation ritual, I might add. My puke from the first night is still there! How cool is that!?). Then we had each of them recite our brotherhood oath. After that is when all the fun began.

The first tradition is to drink till you puke. Drink beer that is. We line up rows upon rows of beer bottles and each pledge had to down as many as they could before they puke. The one who drinks the most before puking is labeled drink master for the first month. This mean that they don’t have to pitch in for the first month’s supply of alcoholic beverages. 

Our second tradition comes after this. Each pledge needs to puke somewhere, so we have a giant kiddie pool set up in the middle of the basement. The kiddie pool is already full of various liquid substance (I wont go into what’s actually in it) before the pledges get to the basement and their puke, just adds to the concoction. Though some don’t even make it to the pool before they let it all out (like me when I was a pledge!). The second tradition involves this kiddie pool. After their fill of beer, each pledge has to swim across the kiddie pool! In my opinion, it was the best part of the night. There’s just something about people swimming in their own puke, and the various puke of others, that makes me laugh until I cry. It’s a truly beautiful thing to watch, especially when you remember that you had to do the exact same thing the year before. 

And with that, we concluded our nights activities. We didn’t want to overdo it will all of traditions in one night. What fun would that be?

Until tomorrow!
