The year was 1981 and I was a sophomore in college. This was before all the hazing laws came into effect. I went to a small university in north western Virginia, not far from the West Virginia line. There was not much to do for fun so most coeds joined sororities and fraternities. I decided on a fraternity and they choose me and next thing I know hell week began. I began hearing some extremely embarrassing stories that happened to past pledges and started getting nervous about the hazing.
The week started off normal with stupid stuff to do like clean the frat house, get lunch for the president, and lots of drinking. Each day the "tests" would get more difficult and more embarrassing. Late afternoon on Friday, 5 of us were told to go our sister sorority's house. We were told we had to wait on them, get drinks, massage their feet, etc. We had to take off our shirts and wear black bow ties, like the Chippendale dancers. The girls were outrageous in demanding us to do things, but nothing "over the top" humiliating. They released us to go home around 10:00 and we thought we were in the clear. We were talking on the way home that hell week was not bad at all. We were going home to kick back with some beers and chill for the rest of the night.
We went back to our house and were all sitting around drinking. We had just ordered some pizzas when the fraternity president barged into our house with other frat members and the rest of the pledge class. The president announced for all pledges to join him outside immediately. There were 12 pledges in my class. We were blindfolded and put into a big van. We were given beers to drink while we drove around. We were told we could not speak for the remainder of the night until advised by the president. We drove around for what seemed like forever but was probably 20 minutes. When the van stopped, we were told to guzzle one more beer and get out of the van. We had no idea where we were but it was hauntingly quiet. He told us to strip completely naked and lay our clothes in front of us.
They lined us up in a single file line and instructed to place our right hand on our brother's shoulder in front of us. We marched for a short time before entering a building. Luckily it was early fall so not too cold outside. I guess the building was like a warehouse because it echoed when the president would speak. It was mostly quiet inside but you could hear some of the frat guys chatting to each other but not much else.
We were commanded to stop, put our hands to our sides and turn 45 degrees to the right. I assumed we were lined up facing forward towards the rest of the fraternity. Remember we are all completely naked. There was a bright light in front of us. Even though we were blindfolded, you could tell there was a bright light on you. At this point, we could hear a lot of rumbling, people moving around, whispering to each other. All the pledges were told a number, 1 through 12. I was number 1. I thought this is where we get sworn into the fraternity. I was very relieved that I was becoming a brother and that hell week was over.
The president then announce "fraternity brother number 1" and someone grabbed my arm and guided me to step about 6 or 7 steps forward and about 4 or 5 steps to the left.
"I present to the fraternity, Mr. Christopher Jones." bellowed Joe, the fraternity president, in a very judge-like manner.
It was very strange to be standing completely naked in front of the entire fraternity, 36 guys to be exact. I played sports in high school so I was accustomed to being naked in front of teammates in the shower and locker rooms so I wasn't totally humiliated but uncomfortable. Playing football, basketball and baseball, I felt like I had a fairly nice body.
I stood facing forward for about 30 seconds. Then I was guided to turn around 90 degrees so my back was to my brothers. I thought this was strange as why would guys want to see other guy's butts. But then again, why are we naked at all? I stood there for a few seconds and then guided a few steps to the right and few steps back which I assume was back in line with the rest of my pledge brothers.
The brother who guided me then whispered to me "You must stay in line with hands on your head! You can take the blindfold off but CANNOT say a word!"
With those instructions, I now had a sick feeling in my stomach that this is not the easy night I thought it was going to be. I untied the blindfold and removed it from around my head. The bright lights were shining directly into my eyes and having the blindfold on for so long, it took me a while to focus. I could tell we were on some type of stage. I could see Joe standing directly in front of us but behind Joe was still dark and blurry. I looked to my left and saw my 11 pledge brother standing in a line facing forward, all completely naked.
"Fraternity brother number 2" announced Joe.
Then I saw Ryan, frat brother number 2, being escorted front and center in front of Joe. My eyes started to become more focused now.
"I present to the fraternity, Mr. Ryan Gallagher." reported Joe.
I could now see Joe very clearly and now the background was coming into focus. I could tell there was a lot of heads in the crowd surrounding the stage but it didn't look like our fraternity brothers as I had thought. Actually it wasn't guys at all – the crowd was all girls. As I stared more intently into the crowd, I could see the audience was our sister sorority. The sorority was standing around the stage staring at all the naked pledges including me. I couldn't believe it - I was standing completely naked, with my dick in clear view of about 50 girls.
