While responding to the usual 'Skull and Bones' type thread in politics, I was reminded of my frat.

We had the same type of stuff which makes people who weren't in frats think we have some weird ass secret occult crap going on. At any rate, we have official robes for official meetings. We blacken the windows and put on our robes. The officers wear different colored ones based on the office. Well the archon (president) wears a white one.

At any rate, these are also worn during initiation and it’s the first time a pledge will see them.

In part of it a pledge it brought before the archon, blindfolded, who says something I forget and I'm sworn to secrecy not to tell you about, the blindfold is removed, and the pledge does some stupid shit, and comes back, and does more stupid shit and comes back. Part of it has you in a coffin (its some death/rebirth thing) yadda yadda yadda. Spooky. It’s the kind of thing that freaks out one or two lessor minded people, but all you had to do is look at the members, pick out the weakest one and think 'if that wimp did it, I know I can'.

Anyways after initiation we realized just how far we have come.

You see one of the pledges was black. He was brought before the archon, his blindfold is removed and what does he see? Some guy wearing a white robe. Did I mention it had a pointed hat? We of course were clueless. This guy thought he was dead. Well he goes through initiation and points out the potential conflict (heh) and said laughing 'Well I figured I was dead, but I was going to take some of you with me.' Being he was also a cop, I'm rather glad he waited to see what happened first.

I suppose it’s a credit to us that we didn't think there was anything odd about a black man (oh did I mention he was basically in his underwear? He had on a toga but not much to it) brought before a guy in a white robe and pointed hat, and we are completely oblivious to what would seem a horrible racist event to someone outside looking in. We just saw another pledge joining our fraternity.

Very South Park flag of us.
