Chapter 92: Chapter 10: New Members' Welcome Party

If last night's recruitment party was the fraternities bringing in alumni heavyweights to show off their brotherhood's heritage and strength to the Stanford freshmen,

then tonight's 8 o'clock induction party is the first time the selected newbies get a taste of the insanity and indulgence of fraternity parties.

Moreover, getting an invitation to this party doesn't mean you're already a full member of the fraternity; it means you're qualified to participate in the fraternity's upcoming selection process. This party gives you a taste of the fraternity's perks, and then you have to face the impending hellish pledging process, which typically lasts four to six weeks. Only after passing the grueling tests can you consider yourself a formal member of the fraternity.
