Welcome. Around 2 years ago, a few fraternity brothers (a few drinks in) came up with the nit-witted idea to start a website. Broke as always, the stellar bunch somehow rounded up enough money to make it happen. 80+ articles and 100+ thousand unique visitors later, it’s time to break down all that the Pledging Sucks brotherhood has to offer…

Not to be racist, but Florida A&M turns the minority into the majority. No matter where you’re from, multi-cultural fraternities take hazing to a whole new level. Yet, as previously discussed, fraternities aren’t the only ones professing the age-old art. In this case, a marching band takes things a little too far.

“It’s good for them. It embarrasses a little, but relieves them a lot. Makes them part of the group.” — the late Vince Lombardi on rookie hazing.

No matter how much of a badass you are, there will definitely come a point in pledgeship when you ask yourself… why the fuck am I doing this? Yet, not to worry, this doesn’t rival the trepid days of adolescent childhood when you ponder your sexuality. Don’t tell me the thought never crossed your mind…? Either way, your hardest days of pledging fill your mind with thoughts unknown to those around you. You start to question just about everything as you’re mind-fucked to the highest extent. The word hazing doesn’t mean anything to you anymore. Fuck #30 Fratty Vocabulary, you just want to dig yourself a ditch and jump in.

As always, the Brotherhood keeps you in-the-know. The latest story comes out of the great state of Tennessee. Vanderbilt held its homecoming weekend last week, and as is tradition, the fraternities hosted alumni brothers for a late-night party. At SAE, they are still surveying the damage. It’s one thing to blow a $12K bar-tab, it’s a completely different thing to rack up $12K in damages.

Every once in a while the Brotherhood runs across a video worth sharing. In most cases, society’s taboo practices usually create a gold-mine of underground content. Yet, there isn’t too much evidence out there. You be the judge whether or not the video is real or staged. Either way, it’s a quality representation of the pointless, yet humorous hazing that encompasses all that is pledgeship.

With the transition of high school to college comes the expectation of social survival. Your dorm room gets smaller and smaller by the day, all-the-while your social life dwindles. Once you’ve grown a sack and decided to #2 Rush, your alcoholic education begins. You’re not only joining a Brotherhood, you’re entering a semester long class of alcoholic consumption.

The life of a pledge is full of ups-and-downs: a rollercoaster, if you will. With orientation, pledge socials, hell week, and so much more, it’s tough to put your finger on the highest-highs or the lowest-lows. In the Fall, one day reigns supreme: Game Day. While everyone wishes they were in the SEC, football is cherished everywhere. Either way, when it comes to Game Days, pledges make the world-go-round.

“Pledge attire is life attire. Overall, pledging is a lifestyle.”

When it comes to the Brotherhood, we’re all developing our inner-frat-star status with every day that goes by. Yet, unlike the typical #20 GDI, each and every frat star will be famous one day. In preparation for future celebrity status, the Brotherhood perfects their scribble-skills through the evolutionary concept of Signature Books. Yet, they’re way more than just a book full of signatures.

While #1 Animal House inspired colleges everywhere to achieve the most prestigious Greek-life possible, it also laid the framework for the shitty realities of life: #29 Anti-Hazing Douchebags. Society looks down upon fraternities just as America looks down upon Marijuana. When it comes to hazing, no fraternity can be legitimized unless it crosses paths with the long dick of the law.

Society is extremely gracious in their acceptance of college as a tradition among youths. Yet, college will never settle. Hence, summer session. The greatest 4+ years of your life have not and will not be boxed into two semesters. When Spring comes to an end, you have one hell of a choice to make. Will it be a trip home to live with mommy and daddy, living a life of pure boredom and restriction? Or will you continue into the sun-filled gloriousness of summer session living in the moment of keg stands and sorostitutes? It’s your choice to make.

Summer session is coming to a close, and the brotherhood awakens. This weekend an anonymous source filled us in on a rather unique hazing experience. While the submitter has chosen to stay behind closed doors, his story does all the talking. Coming from the University of Buffalo at an unknown fraternity, this submitted story gives slip-n-slides a newly-found shot of life.

“If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG, you would have $33.00. If you purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers, you would have $0.00 today. But, if you purchased $1,000 worth of beer, drank all the beer, turned in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have $214.00! Therefore the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg Plan.”
