They had to walk one behind the other where ever they went. And one group of men, Alpha Phi Alpha, used to perform nearly nightly outside my large, 11 story dorm. their aspirants (I think) used to chant and step and perform and we would all gather and look out our windows and watch. It was very interesting but it did not look like much fun. Especially all the marching around wearing raincoats and carrying paddles (I think it was paddles). I'll never forget the chant: A-L-P-H-A P-H-I, A-L-P-H-A ALPHA PHI ALPHA!

The "red" sorority is my sorority, Delta Sigma Theta
Since pledging was LEGAL and ABOVE GROUND, at that time, you witnessed the things that you witnessed.
Your memories are a beautiful thing
