Current Pledges

“If you survive the pledge semester… you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war.  But until that day you are pukes!  You’re the lowest form of life on Earth.  You are not even human beings!  Because I am hard, you will not like me.  But the more you hate me, the more you will learn.  I am hard, but I am fair!  Here you are all equally worthless!  And my orders are to weed out all the non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Company! Do you maggots understand that?”
