Frat Initiation - Foot pledge

Fictional story by Greg Seota - gseota@earthlink.net

Part 1 - Friday, September 6th

	Long before Bert arrived on campus, he knew exactly what fraternity
he was headed for.  He knew some of the guys in the frat.  He also knew
that this fraternity was the best road to great parties and prime selection
among the women.  He spent the first couple weeks on campus making sure he
was in the right place at the right time.  He quickly figured out who to
know, and before long he was a shoe in to pledge.  He knew there was an
initiation of some sort, but a fraternity code of silence and a campus
anti-hazing policy kept the details secret.

	He was told to meet the rest of the pledges at the house on Friday
at 8pm.  He understood that he wasn't to make any plans for the weekend,
but he was assured to be back to his dorm by 10pm on Sunday night.  Plenty
of time to get a weekend's worth of studying done.  He arrived plenty early
and was offered a beer.  There was light conversation between the actives
and pledges as the rest arrived.  By 7:50 everyone had shown up.  No one
would dare be late, as they knew whatever initiation they were about to
endure would be made worse if they showed up after 8.  The pledges were
placed standing in a circle in the middle of the living room.  Twelve in
all, they were told to remove their shirts.  As one active collected the
shirts, the pledge master explained what was going to happen.

"Each of you will receive an assignment for the weekend, which will be
written on your chest as we walk around the room.  Once we have written
everyone's assignment down, an active member will explain your duties in
full."

The Pledge Master started with a short guy four away from Bert.  The Pledge
Master wrote "House puppy" on his chest.  He moved to the next guy and
wrote "piss pot" on his chest.  Without knowing exactly what that entailed,
Bert was happy that wasn't him.  The guy next to Bert groaned as "naked
chef" was written on his chest.  Bert closed his eyes as the Pledge Master
approached him with the black marker in hand.  After the writing was done,
Bert looked down and saw "foot pledge" written in magic marked shining on
his chest.  He really didn't pay much attention to the rest of the writing,
his head was too busy wondering what the weekend had in store for the "foot
pledge".

Once all twelve guys had received their assignment, one of the brothers
approached Bert.  Bert didn't know this brother very well, but he knew he
was about to get his instructions.  The brother pulled a jockstrap out of
his pocket and handed it to Bert.

"Hey foot pledge, my name is Eric.  Change into this jockstrap and let's
go.  I'll be giving you your instructions for the weekend."

Bert took off his shoes, jeans, and underwear.  He quickly threw his
clothes on the floor as he took them off, then slipped on the jock.  He
looked at Eric waiting for further instructions.

"You're forgetting your socks foot pledge.  I suggest you get used to the
concept of bare feet quickly."

Bert slipped off his socks and followed Eric upstairs to one of the
bedrooms.  He was told to grab a tarp off the floor.  They went downstairs,
and Eric told him to lay the tarp down right next to the front door.

"This is your home for the next three days.  As you unfold the tarp, you'll
notice a collar, leash, and lock in there.  Put on the collar, then lock it
to the leash.  We want to make sure you're a good foot slave."  Bert did as
instructed.  The leash was tied onto the wall, and Eric walked away leaving
Bert there leashed to the wall in his jockstrap.  After a long and chilly
30 minutes Eric returned with a piece of paper, that Bert was to read.  It
was entitled "foot pledge instructions"

1) The foot pledge may not leave the tarp until 9pm Sunday
2) When any person enters the frat house, the foot pledge must ask
permission to remove their shoes
3) If granted permission, the foot pledge will remove the shoes, and ask
permission to remove their socks, if they are wearing socks.
4) If granted permission, the foot pledge will remove their socks, and ask
permission to clean their feet with his tongue
5) If any complaints are made regarding the foot pledge's service, he will
be subject to a paddling
6) The foot pledge will only sleep between the hours of midnight and six A.M.
7) The foot pledge use the bowl in the corner of the tarp as a toilet
8) The foot pledge will follow all orders given by any pledge member

Bert looked up at Eric, who asked him if he understood the instructions.
Bert replied "The foot pledge understands his directions".  Bert knew how
to make this weekend easier on himself.

"Now, to complete your uniform..." Eric stated as he removed his shoe.
