Fraternity Initiations and other Male Rituals |
|
Fortunately, the physical abuse and harm many pledges undergo has abated, but some traditions, which were rampant in the 80s and 70s, continue. Many college fraternities and guilds have a long standing tradition of involving sister sororities in initiation ceremonies of the young men. Often times these rituals dictate that the young male pledges strip and conduct silly activities such as calisthenics, playing games or perform a ritualistic activity. It is common these pledges are blindfolded and do not realize that they are being watched closely by as many as 70 young coeds as they dance around or play silly games completely naked. As opposed to the typical physical harm and injury often caused in more traditional initiation rites, these escapades that involve harmless nudity in a much better alternative, and can be quite fun for the girls watching. Here we post pictures and re-tell stories that we have found or have been sent to us by those that had first-hand experience of such fun activities. |
Nollningen is a Swedish college initiation ritual in which the entire school particpates, including faculty. During the initiation the Nolls (freshmen) play games and have ceremonies in which many of them are forced to strip completely naked, much to the delight of the girls present. To the chagrin of the guys, although the girls participate they never strip naked but may sometimes undress down to panties and bras. |
Part of the games include being dunked in mud, food baths and being sprayed with beer. The girls wear a large plastic garbage sack to protect them but guys are encouraged to strip to their birthday suits, as you can see from one of these guys. |
At some of these colleges they keep enthusiasm high by forcing the guys on a losing team to strip completely and remain nude throughout the games. As you can see here, some guys embarrassingly hide their agony of defeat from some very attractive coeds. |
Part of the same line of guys featured above. Not shown is the entire student body along with faculty surrounding these new students and being quite amused, including many female faculty members and coeds. No secrets are being kept from these women by these young men! |
Various colleges hold similar initiations in this part of Europe. Here guys are brought on stage and are required to strip for the entire school. As you can see, these girls are loving the viewing opportunity. |
The guy on the right obviously upset he has to strip completely naked in front of all the coeds whereas the girls get to leave on t-shirts, bras and panties. |
The cabaret continues with yet more young male pledges displaying their manhood for the entire student body to see. One has to wonder what is it like asking a girl out and she says "Yeah, I remember you, you're that naked guy!" |
One of the best known events of Nollningen is the game "Kladstrek", which we understand to mean "clothesline". This game involves the teams competing to make the longest line laying end to end. The line is extended through adding any clothes one is wearing; thus, a lot of pressure is put on the freshman to take off everything (even wallets are added to the length). Although the female freshmen play as well, custom dictates that they never undress more than bras and panties. |
Based upon the numerous times Nollningen has been held, it is obvious that Kladstek is designed to get all male freshmen completely naked prior to other events and drinking games. After viewing hundreds of photos taken over the past several years, it appears every male in the freshman class ends up totally nude. Evidently, the freshman often stay naked through subsequent games and rituals, much to the amusement of the coeds in attendance. For more information and pictures, the following are two of the better web sites: |
Those that have pledged to fraternities in the U.S. often tell stories of fraternity initiation rituals that required stripping nude, often in front of a cheering sorority. The picture to the right is of such a fraternity initiation whereby a sorority is invited (and enthusiastically accepts) to come and watch as each male pledge, one-by-one, is required to strip and dance completely naked for the sorority as they laugh and applaud. |

Sorority Judging the Pledges I just stumbled on to this site and realized you'd like a story I posted elsewhere. This actually happened at a major university in the south in the mid 1980s. There was a fraternity house that routinely performed a ritual the last night of Hell Week. Our entire sorority was usually invited to participate each year, and all sisters, including our new pledges, would required to attend. On the night of the ritual, we would be lead into the large den of the fraternity. There would be rows of chairs for us to sit in and watch the ceremony, with the front rows reserved for the girls. The new fraternity recruits, usually about 15 or so, would be lead into the large den of the frat house and instructed to stand in a row in front of us. The young guys would have towels wrapped around themselves. When the towels were removed we laughed hysterically seeing that they all wore athletic jock strops with the fraternity insignia over their crotches. Wearing nothing but the jock straps, they would be told to recite sayings of allegiance to the fraternity and would be asked various questions as to why they wanted to join. Upon satisfactory answers, they were instructed to collectively turn and face the fraternity insignia above the fireplace and recite the pledge to the fraternity. When they turned we would giggle at the awkward sight of their exposed butts facing. After their pledge to the fraternity and with their backs still facing us, they were ordered to take off the jock straps. The pledges were then ordered to turn around. They would usually be grasping their manhood hiding it from us. One of the frat brothers would be lecturing the recruits about loyalty to the fraternity and that they were always expected to be sincere in trust and honesty, and never "to hide anything" from their brothers or sisters. This was the segue for their next instruction, which was to stand at attention with both hands to their sides allowing everyone, including the sisters, to view their manhood. The eyes of my sisters were wide open with big smiles as the recruits stood completely naked with genitals dangling just a few feet in front of us. Many of the girls, especially the freshmen, had seen few cocks in their life. For us it gave us an opportunity to check out how guys' dicks varied, especially in the way of size. Then, the frat brother giving orders would say something like (if I remember correctly) "This fraternity holds a strong legacy, it takes balls to stay in this fraternity, big balls". Then he would go one by one down the line presenting each pledge to the sorority girls. The pledges were told to hold their penises against their stomachs and the frat brother would say something like "Sisters, this is Scott Jensen. Ladies, please look at Scott's balls and tell us if you think they're big enough for this fraternity". He was then instructed to hold his balls in the palm of his hand, presenting them to us for inspection. As we looked down at his balls we would say something like "yes, they are big enough", or simply give a thumbs up. Some of the girls were as embarrassed as the boys, but all were grinning widely or laughing. The last step was the ceremonial spanking ritual. The pledges, still naked, would be allowed to chose the girl to spank them. They would proceed to a chair in front of the fireplace, bend over with their hands on the chair and butts facing us. The girls would give five hard swats with a paddle, and if they weren't hard enough, they'd be instructed to do it again. Most girls started with a light tap, but the brothers kept her there until the swats made the respective pledge's butt crimson red. The recruits would stand in line facing us one last time and instructed to thank us for spanking them. Then they would be allowed to wrap the towel around themselves. This was a ritual that continued every year even after I had left, and would involve different sororities, all sworn to the Greek code of silence. If anyone knows if it is still occurring, please let me know as this would make for a great alumni event!
