Tufts OTR: 3Ps: Pen, Paint and...Paddles?

3Ps: Pen, Paint and...Paddles?

From the tags on this video, it looks like the theater community here at Tufts hazes just as hard as any frat.

The chaps in this short "play" are apparently part of what is know as 3Ps, standing for Pen, Paint and Pretzels (we don't get it either). As the performing arts group on campus, this organization is responsible for bringing theater and drama to the Tufts community.

Well, attempted paddling might not be snooty high art, but if 3Ps keep making videos like this, we at OTR will certainly be entertained.

AMAZING. My favorite part:
"This is good lighting for cinema, actually." Followed immediately by:
"Ow, my nuts!" Posted 10/03/2007 11:47 AMReply

Well, not quite a hazing. The man being attacked in that video is a junior. Perhaps this is how 3Ps settles disputes. Posted 10/03/2007 3:34 PMReply

This scene cannot be construed to be representative of the actions of the entire 3Ps community, as only a select few of us ever engage in such activity as seen here...

...if only because there's just one paddle and we can't all be using it at once. Posted 12/21/2007 11:00 AMReply

@ Anonymous: Do you want to borrow the paddle? It's just been collecting dust in the basement since the pledge went abroad Posted 12/21/2007 11:29 PMReply

He deserves the paddle for having an inconsistent russian accent. Posted 12/27/2007 3:31 PMReply

Pen = playwriting--the script
Paint = set building--the stage
Pretzels = what they used to serve in theaters instead of popcorn (although "Popcorn" would still make it 3Ps)--the audience

And the fact that I know these two makes me endlessly amused. Posted 09/20/2008 11:14 PMReply
