Brotherhood Secrets
2004, I was a High School Student in a University at Angeles City Pampanga, Philippines. I still remember that day when a group of students ask me to join a group, a Fraternity. I was curious about what will and what would happen to me if I tried to join them. I answered "Yes", without knowing who are those peoples. While riding a Jeepney, many questions came into my mind. "Will I get hurt with these peoples?", "What should I feel during Initiation", etc. Anyway, back to my story, they took me at a Subdivision wherein I met their Fraternity Chapter Officers together with another Neophyte. After some meetings, explaining their rules and chit-chats we proceed to a place wherein they will Initiate us, called "Apple Base". Here is the list of what they had done to us during Initiation. (Randomly).
1. "Blessing" - Blind Folded, Eyes Closed while Slapping Us.
2. Spelling the Fraternity Name.
* Each letter = 1 Swing of a Paddle below Your Buttocks.
3. Initiation Proper: Crawling, Move a Bottle Using Your Forehead while doing Sit-Up position and put it to the Fraternity Sacred Thing, "Paddle".
4. Shout "I Love (Fraternity Name)" 10x
5. Shout "I'll Never Quit Master" 10x
* Each Shout = 1 Swing of a Paddle below Your Buttocks.
6. Rest of Initiation: Swing of a Paddle below Your Buttocks till they reach the Overall Numbers of Swing.
* To get the total number, it'll be the year when the organization was formed/founded.
Ex. 1999 = 99 Swings Using the Paddle.
7. Graduation: Letting a Candle Melt into Your Back. After The graduation fraternity song and speech, you're already a member of the group.
8. Signing a Paper wherein it was indicated that you're a certified member of the Fraternity.
:: My Co-Neophyte did not survived and quit.
2006, I was dropped out from that University. My parents decided to took me away from those Bad Influences I had learned.
In times of Struggles and Trouble those people your calling Brothers and Sisters are always they to save and support you but the most moment to share with them is knowing to have vices and joining Fraternity War.
At Present, I'm living as a Thug. Simple life, Independent but somehow still supporting my Family. I'm currently working as an Encoder on a Government Agency.
Maybe At This Moment, some of my "Brothers" and "Sisters" are reading this.
"I regret those time I joined our Fraternity but I wont forget those nice peoples I had met and calling "Friends" right now".
