A while back, commenter Tony offered to share a few memories of real-life spanking in sororities in the 1960’s. As Tony says, “Hazing was allowed and practiced back then.” While we are reliant on word of mouth for precise details, the results of some of these practices were visible to those close to the victims, … Continue reading Memories of Sorority Hazing

Much to Learn: Second Initiation
With thanks to Paolo of Wholebean and I Sarah and Mark's Story began here “Feck it,” Saah cursed as she undid her tie before attempting the knot for the seventeenth time. “I know how to do this,” she reassured herself.

With thanks to Paolo of Wholebean and I Sarah and Mark's Story began here “Before Enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After Enlightenment chop wood, carry water.” Slowly, her awareness returned to the room. The television was still prattling on, now discussing the first expedition to the summit of Mount Everest.
