We're Freed from Night in the Dorm and now the Weekend On que at 6am, Travis and Brent entered the room where we were still tied naked to each other. As the last of the coeds had left around 4am, we had managed to sit and even nod off for a few minutes of much needed sleep. Our binds were cut and we stood there rubbing our wrists and ankles. We also were looking for the bag with our clothes "There are cars waiting for you downstairs. They leave in 3 minutes for the house where you can find your clothes in the apartment" said Brent. With that, the two of them turned and walked out. We quickly followed and raced to jump into the cars before anyone saw. There were only 4 cars and 21 of us so it was a naked pile on similar to the game Twister in the front & back seats. At the house, we went inside to get dressed and head to our dorms to shower and get cleaned up for classes. A note on the door provided instructions for college football Saturday, pledge class meeting on Sunday at noon and Sunday NFL football at the house. Most of us spent Friday just relaxing and getting caught up on stuff. Neither Keith nor I went out on Friday night and pretty sure no one else did either. Jerry & Nikko followed our schedule and stayed at the house to be on beckon call by the brothers. Call time on Saturday was 11:45am, just in time for the noon kickoffs. We dressed in a new pair of jock straps as all the ones were shredded last night. It was now evident why we needed a dozen each...I had a feeling all 12 would be shredded between now and when we were initiated. Brothers, coeds, girlfriends and friends came in and out during the day and into the night. The tv room featured 4 LCD tvs with various games on and brothers flipped channels until the end of the night. Beer flowed, food ordered and eaten. All along, we ran around doing chores and being Alpha Delt butlers dressed in just our jock straps. Interestingly, no comments had been made about Thursday night. Sunday call time was again 11:45am for a noon meeting. A few more rules and information about our pledge books was given out. A pledge book is a bio profile on all the brothers and all the pledges with information like year in school, major, hometown, etc. We had to memorize all the information and the last thing was a signature from the brother. Now the signature came with a price and it was up to each brother to determine what they would charge each of us and it wouldn't be the same for everyone. Each failed signature would be met with stiff punishment. For the first time, Thursday night was brought up. "So how did everyone like Thursday? We've heard such great things from the ladies over at Tri-Delt and all the residents of _____ Dorm. A round of applause maggots" said Tim. We smiled and gave a lackluster clap to ourselves (like we had a choice being tied up and having our clothes cut off leaving us naked for 7 hours in front of a bunch of random women.) "Well, since it doesn't seem you maggots are happy, we shall try again this Thursday. The ladies of Chi Omega will join us for dinner and mixer here later that night. The theme for the mixer is Tarzan and Jane and we'll let you ponder the dress for that until Thursday when you will be given your loin cloth" Tim continued. We also began some actual fraternity education starting with the founding of the fraternity and the chapter on campus. An exam would be next week on this weeks historical coverage. Once again, failure and substandard Alpha Delt performance would not be accepted. Sunday football day was mirror image from yesterday and last weekend. Paraded in front of everyone with some calisthenics for good measure along with butler duty was the norm. Some of us were able to retire to the apartment and our cot for a few minutes of sleep, study and/or shower. A couple even began work on their pledge books.
