Nationals is nationals, we weren't on that program. We crossed 4 guys, it would have been 5 but he chose not to continue with the pledge process. The funny thing about it is nationals left it up to the undergrad brothers (us) to tell that line what everything on the shield and what Phi Nu Pi meant. Well, we told them, but it wasn't what it meant. We gave them all the wrong info because they still had to pledge 8 more weeks before they were accepted into the fraternity the right way. So I'm assuming he still doesn't know what Phi Nu Pi means, nor any secrets. Any Nupe he talks with might challenge him, and he will know nothing.

That's really despicable.

I was being silly in the above quote, but yeah this really happened. I haven't been back to see pledges since I left school. I've only been back for homecoming, so I don't know if tradition is still being practiced or not. Our chapter is just really big on tradition. I remember sometimes watching some glos sneak their pledges above ground without getting caught by the campus police. It would cause a crowd. The year before I pledged it was legal to pledge above ground and I actually saw it happening. It was something I'm glad to have witnessed, because it was unbelievable seeing something like that up close.
