The Pledge Class Of 1969

To quote John Lennon, "Imagine." Imagine eighteen–year–old Holden Caulfield, Richie Cunningham, Otter, Bluto, Archie McNally, and Kramer all thrown backward or forward in time to the summer of 1969. Imagine if, unknown to one another, they each blindly pledge to a ruckus fraternity house at a conservative and highly respected Midwestern university. Imagine their metamorphosis from innocent and naive high school graduates with lofty aspirations to rude, crude, and socially unacceptable frat rats.Imagine their creative, illogical, and often just plain stupid adventures as they fully take advantage of their newfound freedom and the total lack of respect and responsibility of college life. Imagine a pledge class that suffers together and sticks together until visited by the Grim Reaper.Imagine Marlo Thomas, Mary Tyler Moore, Ann–Margret, Shelley Fabares, Sandra Dee, and Annette Funicello as prudish and scholastically focused coeds attempting to cohabitate the same campus as the men of Sigma Mu. Imagine their potential transformation during the age of Aquarius into respectable and successful young adults.You may say I'm a dreamer, but what you are about to read is based on actual events (kind of). Enjoy!
