Initiation Saturday morning we started cleaning the house. Moving furniture, sweeping out the corners, mopping the floors. I thought back over my semester of pledgeship. lt hadn't been a rough semestere not much hazing. Clean up details and waiter duties were about the extent of our hard work. It's easy for me to say more traditional pledge activities would have been better, but how many of us would have pledged? 3:00. I sat anxiously with my pledge brothers, waiting for the ceremony to begin. An active came in and called us, one by one. After three others had gone, they called me forward. When I had gotten my pin, I couldn't help thinking how strange it seemed. l was really in a fraternity. During my se- nior year in high school, letters from the frats were very impersonal - didn't impress me at all. But a visit from Beta Sig's rush Chairman changed my mind. I walked into the lounge. The actives stopped me and blindfolded me. I was told to put my hand on the active's shoulder and to follow him. I left for school in late August, still a bit skeptical of fraternity life. Several actives met me at the door, and helped me with my luggage. I met my roommate and the pledge adviser. They all seemed like nice guys, but I wondered if they were just putting on an act for my benefit. 15

Slowly we walked up the dark stairs to the first floor. The i only light in the house came streaming in from the 3? windows at the end of the hall, and from the candles. They were sincere e- not concerned with athletic ? prowess, or i brainpower but with me - a person. In fact I got to know actives better than a lot of pledge brothers. The first thing that struck me in that room was how funny the actives looked, clad in long flowing robes and peaked hoods. Naturally, when 60 guys from different backgrounds live together, there'll be some friction. Yet it's all up to the members to keep the fraternity alive. Maintaining the building, making the rules and seeing they are enforced, cooking the meals, and paying the bills; all must be done. Suc- cess is up to us. 16
