That is not what we were taught when we were pledges. They must have gotten soft. You guys have it so easy now.

I am going to go out on a limb and say the number of people at Hacker News who pledged is probably small.

Someone else posted "You wouldn't call your sorority ..." but that's just not how the joke goes. Sorry. Gotta do it. I'm telling the joke. Braced for downvotes.

"You wouldn't call your country a..."

And then I realized, that's the first or second half of the joke that got flagkilled :)



I pledged a frat at UMD, majored in comp sci. It was the best 8 weeks I'd never want to do again.

I never, ever understood why people get so fucking offended when someone calls a fraternity a frat. It doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.


Well if you frat boys will stop calling black people n*ggers, then we'll stop calling you frat boys.


Point taken


No, but I call frat boys both of those things. S.C.'s for short.
