Splat. "Take that you motherfucker!" Splat. "Another male chauvinist bites the dust."
I had taken to whacking the crickets that invaded our sorority house with an oar. A Hookmaster two and a half-foot long weapon that is very light and comes in handy quite often.
That oar has never been in a boat. Not only is it great for smacking bugs, mice or whatever, it is perfect for spanking. My personal preference is for a bare hand on my ass, with or without panties, but some dudes like it harder.
Crickets make so damn much noise when they get in the house you can't even sleep. "Chirp, chirp, chirp." And it's the male crickets that make the racket; some sort of love song directed at the object of their affection. These horny crickets really pissed me off.
The big black ants didn’t seem particularly annoying, except when they happen to crawl on your body at night. Talk about antsy and itchy! I’d end up scratching all night. Somewhat psychosomatic I do believe.
And those fucking cockroaches! They’re everywhere, they’re everywhere. “Go cockroaches go!” the sisters screamed as we chased them around the sorority house, trying to end their sorry existence. We called the exterminator several times but all the bugs kept coming back.
Not bad enough that we sorority sisters of Delta Zeta spent some part of every day fighting off some invading insect, now we learned we might have to party with cockroaches and the rest of the pests.
“At least these cockroaches won’t be crawling all over us,” I joked to my sorority sisters. We heard the rumors that these human cockroaches liked dick better than they did pussy.
Yes indeed, the fraternity brothers of Alpha Tau Omega got to plan this month’s fraternity/sorority beer blast at our university, famous for cheerleaders chanting, “Go cocks go!” I’m serious. I mean, all the fraternity brothers wear those stupid hats around campus that say “COCKS” in bold red with the name of the university underneath.
For each monthly bash, that fraternity or sorority charged with planning the event must create an original theme for the occasion. Now, we don’t know if the boys of Alpha Tau Omega had been smoking too much dope or perhaps watching too many movies like “The Fly” and “A Bug’s Life.”
The theme for the bash, “Buggering,” seemed quite appealing to some, until specifics became public. Each fraternity and sorority chose a type of bug to be. You know, a really weird costume party, like imitate an insect.
Of the fraternities, Alpha Phi Alpha came as wasps, Delta Upsilon as ants, Kappa Alpha Psi as grasshoppers, Kappa Sigma as flies, Omega Psi Phi as moths and Sigma Alpha Epsilon as beetles. Of the sororities, Alpha Chi Omega came as damselflies, Chi Omega as bees, Kappa Alpha Theta as lacewings, Kappa Kappa Gamma as butterflies, and Sigma Gamma Rho as mites. Honestly, some of the other fraternities and sororities, I couldn’t tell what the hell they might be. A bug is a bug is a bug. We, the sisters of Delta Zeta, got real wild and crazy with our colorful dragonfly outfits. The hosts of the bash, Alpha Tau Omega, won the costume contest. And just what is so wonderful about cockroaches? I smelled fix.
Alpha Tau Omega, our least favorite fraternity, became even more repulsive as cockroaches. I mean, these guys reeked geek and most of them made a three-dollar bill look straight. Herbie, the president, attempted to amuse us with cockroach talk.
“Cockroach kidneys look like a bunch of writhing snakes,” informed Herbie.
“How interesting,” Janine scowled.
“Cockroaches recognize family and friends by their distinctive odors,” continued Herbie.
“Fascinating,” Maryanne yawned.
“Well, how about this?” Herbie asked excitedly. “When a male cockroach is interested in a female, he gives her a wrapped gift and takes her out to dinner, sort of. Males transfer sperm to females in a nice gift wrapped package called a spermatophore.”
“Hey,” Sally interrupted, “that reminds me of your frat brothers Andrew and George. The way I heard it, Andrew came back to the house after his classes to change for work. George sat on the couch jerking off in a rubber. Andrew asked, ‘What are you doing?’ George replied, ‘Packing your lunch.’ Is that story true, Herbie?”
Herbie’s face turned five shades of red. “Well, you know, the Creed of Alpha Tau Omega states, ‘To bind men together in a brotherhood based upon eternal and immutable principles, with a bond as strong as right itself and as lasting as …’”
“Oh, shut the fuck up, Herbie!” I snapped. “No one intended that as some sort of gay bill of rights. We don’t care if you dudes are fruits. We do care that you are such assholes.” Herbie got even redder and stomped off upstairs in a hissy fit.
“You know, Ivy,” Maryanne offered with consternation, “you and Sally really are nasty to Herbie and his frat brothers. I keep hearing rumors on campus that they one day will seek revenge on the sisters of Delta Zeta, particularly you two."
“Yeah, right, Maryanne,” I snarled, “those dudes are useless mindless twits. They are more irritating and obnoxious than all the fucking bugs in our sorority house combined.”
“No shit, Ivy,” Sally agreed. “Let’s sneak upstairs and see what they are up to. I’ll bet they are having a circle jerk or some such thing. Those dudes would faint at the sight of pussy.”
Sally, Janine, Maryanne and I crept silently up the stairs.
