I think the greatest benefit of undergrad fraternity life is the "opportunity to fail", and hopefully to learn from it.

Wednesday's show had several oportunities to fail, and I hope the guys learned from it.

I suspect we've all made commitments (like the pledge who offered to help pay for the kegs), and when we turned around to get our followers support, they had disappeared. A lesson learned, I'm sure.

The bros. have really put the pledges to the edge, by trashing their house. The pledges are going to have to dig deep, and see if the benefits of brotherhood are worth the effort it'll take to clean the house. Making the pledges watch while it was trashed was really cruel, but it makes the test a lot harder. It comes at a real bad time, too, as the pledges return from a pledge trip which totally failed to unite the pledge class.

Or maybe (and this is what makes the show interesting to me) the pledge class was unifiied by the trip - with the two party-boys on the outside. The party-boys are not going to help clean the house, and I think they'll be gone next week.

And has skinny Robbie shaped up? He was totally quiet this week.

I'm saving my blackball, of course, for the fat kid. He's not the fraternity type.
