"Thetachi"

Xi Chapter
of
Theta Chi Fraternity
formally extends
Rodell Tolliver
a bid to become a
member of our
Brotherhood



"You ready"
"Lemme put a shirt on"
Mackenzie half pushes/half carries me to the front door and tells me to wait on the steps in the foyer. There's a dull roar outside, much like the sound of a train in the distance. As Mackenzie cracks the door open, the roar turns into a chant. He shuts the door again quickly.
"Alright, just run out there."
I wipe the sleep out of my eyes, take 1-3 deep breaths and charge the door.

Sunlight hits my face, filtered through the leafless trees. A cool breeze ruffles my t-shirt, lifting it from my body. Shadows dance like lilliputian gypsies on...


the face of the guy that's about to rock me.
I get pushed into a mosh put of dudes in blazers chanting my name. After about ten seconds of typical guy roughhousing, they lift me up and throw me in the air three times. I got air, because yes, I am in fact a champion..

After they set me down, the circle widened a bit.
Michael starts.

"The Xi chapter of blah-blah-blah extends blah-blah-blah bend over (what?!) blah-blah-blah. You have two choices."

"ONE CHOICE" the brothers all yell in unison, reminding me there is in fact a correct answer to the question.

"You can choose to come to the house tonight at 7 and accept our bid, or you can accept here on the spot."

Well, I already know my decision. No point in wasting time.

Theta Chi till I die, baby.
