Ah, fraternities! I was a scholarship student at a fairly preppy liberal arts school and never thought I’d join one. I had never met a prep school kid before and I had social class status anxiety. I had pretty classic WASP looks, so I spent more than I should have to buy some preppy clothes to better fit in and was invited to rush several houses. I did join one and it really exposed me to a life that I rather liked for the first few years, until I turned 21 and grew bored with it. There wasn’t much hazing at that college. The one thing the brothers did to to the pledges could have been dangerous now that I think back on it was “kidnapping”. They kidnapped me after class one afternoon and dropped me off 20 or 30 miles from campus. Fortunately, I was able to hitch back.
