![]() ![]() We at Phi Psi, like our brothers over a century ago, do not support nor will we condone the practice of hazing in any way, shape or form during the pledging process. We have been having trouble getting a hold of those. We would really appreciate it if a member of the Swarthmore community would be so kind as to provide us with the ice cubes. ![]() ![]() Other pledge duties will include drinking one gallon of Crum water and one gallon of milk at every Sharples meal, digging a tunnel from Phi Psi to an undisclosed building on campus, giving free Brazilian waxes to the homeless in Philadelphia, constructing a third floor for Phi Psi, and ringing the bells at the top of the bell tower every 15 minutes.įinally, our first pledge event will involve a live buffalo, a nine iron, bowling balls, and ice cubes. Eddie Montenegro, dressed as the Aztec god and patron deity of Phi Psi, Quetzalcoatl, selects the most displeasing pledge as his human sacrifice, and the process ends as our blood soaked pledges make this sacrifice to our terrifying and magnificent warrior god. A sacrificial alter shall then be constructed beneath the Tarble bell tower, and the pledges will slaughter the animal they have captured in the Crum and bathe in its blood. Not only must they survive in the cold treacherous terrain of the Crum for entire week, but they are also required to return on the last day with a live animal of their choosing. One week prior to this date, we will send our pledges into the depths of the Crum armed only with their wits and a conch shell, not to return for 7 days. The damning 116 pages labeled minute meetings were written between 20 and were given anonymously to two campus publications The Phoenix and Voices. The pledging process lasts six weeks, and culminates on the December 22 nd, the winter solstice. Earlier this month, Phi Psi and Delta Upsilon, the only two fraternities at the school, both voluntarily disbanded shortly after Phi Psi’s leaked documents emerged. We will be reconnecting with our Phi Psi roots this year by putting this new-found pledging process back into practice. Our esteemed Phi Psi Historian spent his summer digging up some incredible information concerning the pledging process at Swarthmore’s Phi Psi Fraternity over a century ago.
