This is very similar to my father’s initiation into Delta Upsilon fraternity at U of IL before being shipped off to WWII, except he was naked and blindfolded. Ah yes, the Greatest Generation.
Never really understood why any organization who wanted members treated them so badly once they tried to join. It doesn’t keep out the bad eggs and does weed out good people.

If you’re pledging Beta Alpha Phi, why does the paddle have two Deltas and an upside-down Omega?

He may be up the creek, but at least he does have a paddle.

Would you actually WANT to be a member? If so, you deserve each other.
