Last night, twenty well-dressed “giants” gathered outside of Butler Library on College Walk to show their commitment to Pi Kappa Alpha by engaging in a laundry list of group-bonding activities.

Orchestrating the group was a PKA brother, who commanded the pledges to respond at his every whim.

According to the Bwog, the men were given four tasks by their master over the course of their excursion into the neighborhood surrounding Columbia:

1. Yell that they were pledging “the best frat” ever, Pi Kappa Alpha. Anything short of an eardrum-busting shout was unacceptable.

2. Stalk the women on campus until they secured – at the very least – five phone numbers. One girl-shy pledge considered this an impossible task and suggested that the men fabricate the numbers, but surprisingly, they succeeded legitimately.

3. Lunge down to 114th street. When they got there, they walked towards Amsterdam Avenue and started chanting: “I don't know what I've been told/Eskimo ****'s mighty cold.”

4. Finally, scream at the top of their lungs – anything at all.

And so, dear readers, there you have it – a glimpse into the pledging process at an Ivy League university.

Sad, isn’t it?
