I probably wasn't supposed to be there but couldn't resist spying for a few minutes on the fraternity pledge announcements. Wow! Each fraternity group wore identifying shirts. Someone with a megaphone walked out with each candidate and to announce what fraternity they now belonged to. There were shouts of excitement and as group rushed up to escort/carry their new member down the steps. Each group had loud celebratory sound effects and what I had heard were the engines of motorcycles roaring.
I believe the college year is now in session.
What a glorious day! Yesterday it was gray and raining as I walked and this morning I opened my windows and doors to the fresh cool air. We must get outside and enjoy this unusual August gift.
I don't see I Phelta Thi represented? GO PHELT'S! ;)

There were other groups. I didn't linger too long. No one seemed to mind but I did stand out.
DeleteThat has to be a tough way to handle a rush. Pity those who don't get the fraternity of their choice . . . so publicly.
ReplyDeleteI would think. All I heard were general cheers for each gentleman but those were from the fraternity welcoming them.
DeleteNow, if they can just manage the beer parties and initiations without being killed.
ReplyDeleteNice thought but that might be stretching things a bit.
DeleteThrongs of youth, college daze, ah...my oldest just moved out and my youngest is starting high school and I think I am feeling my years like the rings of a tree.
ReplyDeleteMine are long graduated and employed. It all goes by so fast.
