Bundling
 

Any houses (besides Skull and Bones) that still do bundling?

Bundling is "kidnapping" a pledge, or brother by wrapping him in a blanket, and having a few brothers carry him off. It's usually done in a public place - like a classroom, or campus cafeteria.

That sounds like a good way to get yourself kicked off campus and your charter pulled as fast as possible.

Especially the "public" part.

Not to mention charged with multiple felonies in some states.

Boy was that intersting?

Sorry, Not!:rolleyes:

Skull and Bones is not a "house" or a fraternity; it's a secret, senior society.

It does not practice bundling; the "Tap Night" practices for Skull and Bones is fairly well-known, and kidnapping -- without or without wrapping -- isn't part of it. The tap out procedure has changes some over the years, but if it ever tapped members by means of "bundling," that was a long time ago.

Sorry to imply that Skull and Bones is a fraternity, I just mentioned them because they are probably the most "famous" for bundling.

Bundling is rarely used for tapping, it's almost always used in a sense of horseplay and pranks. At Rensselaer, in the 60's, one house did a lot of it (possibly Zeta Psi or Alpha Sigma Phi?) - the pledges were "allowed" to bundle the rush chairman if he was alone - which he chose not to be, as much as possible. He would hang with a brother (who could not be bundled) or a professor, but there was the occasional lapse - when he got bundled.

Yeah, I agree about bundling being a good way to get suspended. I just wondered if it was still done.
