Frat/secret society initiation week.

Heard that no less than three ambulances were at UT last night, sounds like they got crazy with initiation.

It's a tight knit group, mixers with girl sororities,etc.,but the nights of paddling that goes (padding or not) is frankly crazy as H___.Not all frats initiations are that bad but some are.You for sure should check that out prior to joining.

Then you have to tell the E.R. doc - "It was a one-in-a-million shot, doc" as they remove fusilli Jerry...

There are no fraternities initiating this week, at least none that are worth the time.

You're probably getting it confused with Halloween parties.

Yeah a Thurs night initiation in October doesn't sound right at all.

I know that a lot of ambulances were on frat row then so you weren't wrong about everything, but lets not give JTrain yet another reason to go off about "Rich kids" again.

The key is having people that are responsible watching over anything going down and being able to control others. When things happen, it is often because the risk management is lacking, and the fraternity doesn't focus enough on that area.

Which is a death wish in this day in age.
