"Hey guys!" Carson said cheerfully as he walked into the Kappa Tau house.
"You're in a cheery mood. How's it going?" Diesel asked.
"Great. I just wanted to say thanks." Carson said, handing Diesel the book.
"You finished?"
"Not exactly, but I got all the info I need. I wonder if Miss Logan will be joining him for Alumni Week." Carson said.
"Doubt it." Diesel said.
"Huh? Why not?"
"Because she'll be with the Omega Chi's."
"What?" Carson was suddenly confused.
"Finish the book and you'll know what I'm talking about." Diesel explained, slightly annoyed, handing the book back to Carson.
Carson went back to his dorm wanting to know what Diesel was talking about. Rebecca and Cappie were together; why would she be with his rivals, the Omega Chi's? Against his better judgment, he continued reading to find out.

I hate being sick. It sucks. At least I've got Rebecca to help me get better. It's not the same as Casey, but she'll do. She has more issues with taking care of me than Casey did; she even went as far as hiring a scary Scandinavian woman to take care of me. She could've just done what Casey did and knocked me out with cough syrup.

Freshman Parents Weekend. The one weekend I'm not allowed to act like a real KT. The pledges always turn into little pansies; needing to impress mommy and daddy. And on top of it, I'm meeting Rebecca's parents. It's awkward enough meeting the parents, not that I've done it before, but her dad's a senator. I've never met a senator. I want him to like me as much as I like his daughter.
So she doesn't want me to meet them. Is she embarrassed of me? She says she doesn't want to ruin what we have. What exactly is that…because I know meeting the parents is one of those things that kind of sets the relationship in stone. Is this her way of saying we're not in a legit relationship?
Ok, so I'm meeting Casey's parents before Rebecca's. This is odd, considering I never met her parents when we were dating. It took her brother joining my fraternity for me to finally meet them; and I've got to say, they're a lot nicer than Casey and Spitter have been saying.
Well if it isn't Senator Logan. Looks like I'm getting to meet him after all. I'm trying to put my best foot forward, but Rebecca only seems to care about mentioning all my bad qualities. Why is she still so obsessed with pissing off her father? I'm not sure, but I know I want no part in it. She can find a way of pissing him off without me.
Trying to buy me off now? Egg sandwich and sugary caffeine; alright, I'll at least let you explain yourself.
Wow. Now I feel like an ass. Why didn't you just tell me your dad was having an affair? You know I would understand. I care about you. From now on it's going to be about you and me. Nobody else is going to matter, especially your dad.

Did Ben Bennet just call me whipped? And seriously, Spitter for my sake, can you just get along with Rebecca. I really like her, and I know it's awkward for you considering your big sis is my ex, and now I'm dating her little sis, but can you at least make an effort to be civil to her. Hopefully you working as her assistant will show you she's not as bad as your sister says.
Ok, now you're denying me my one joy in life. Just because I'm in training, doesn't mean I have to give up sex! I wonder if my bros are getting just as annoyed by her as I am. I know she wants to win ZBZFest, but this is getting a little ridiculous.
GUY CODE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! That thing seriously needs to be destroyed. There have been way too many fatalities from that thing. And Spitter, I'm your big brother. You come to ME with your problems…not Beav or Wade! Alright, let's see what I can do with this. I may have an idea to chill Rebecca out a bit.
Guy Code 2.0 is definitely working in my favor. Shakespeare through ventriloquism; best idea ever. Rebecca has to learn that the brothers come first. As the old saying goes, bros before hoes.

Pledge bowling is so much fun. Spitter's the best ball I've had in a while. I can definitely win every game using his lightweight and flexible body. Oh what the hell…who's interrupting our game?
Officer Huck…my bestest best buddy in the whole wide world. Are you kidding me? Noise limit…it's the middle of the day! These restrictions are getting a little ridiculous.
OH MY GOD! WE WON! Basketball Championships here we come!
No tickets! What the hell! Just because the stupid USAG freaks hate us, doesn't mean you have to get rid of our privileges. It's not our fault they didn't want to join. Bing you're really starting to piss me off with the whole you kissing the dean's ass thing. We've waited 25 years for those tickets and I'm not going to stand down until I get them.
Oh shit…what did I get myself into? Now I have to go in front of the administrators and say why they need to get rid of the restrictions on the Greek system. I am so screwed.
Ok, I already know that this a big deal, Bing. I don't need your input or talking points. And did you really just call me an alcoholic? I drink the same amount as anyone on this campus. You, and your talking points, can suck it.
What the hell Bowman! You give the crazy anti-Greek man like an hour to talk, but I get like 10 seconds. I can see which side of the fence you're on.
Whoa…hold up. Did Bing just say I was right? I must be incredibly drunk because I know for a fact Bing would never say I was right…about anything. And where did he get that information about all the administrators' college antics? I still hate his guts, but he did get the restrictions lifted, and got KT our tickets, so I guess I could have a few beers in his honor. And I'll make sure that when we're acting like Idiots on National Television, everyone will know who gave us permission to do so.
February 7, 2008
So first you use my argument to get the restrictions lifted, then you don't invite us to your restriction lifting party. Typical Bing…what a douche. Well I guess that means we'll have to throw our own kick ass rager. And believe me, it will put your little gathering to shame.
Some of the actives were sitting in the KT living room that night, discussing Alumni Week.
"Alumni Week is coming up fast." Dalmatian said, "What are we doing for it?"
"Well as social chair, I've been meeting with other social chairs." Popsicle said. "We've decided that one of the activities for Alumni Week should be a block party involving all the houses."
"I like that idea. Good job Popsicle." Dalmatian said. "Are the pledges ready?"
"Most of them. I'm still a little worried about one though." Diesel explained.
"Junior." Sandbox said.
"Yeah. He tried giving me back the book today." Diesel said.
"Really, Junior finished the book?" Popsicle asked.
"Not quite. He got to the point where Cappie and Rebecca were together and thought he knew all he needed."
"He definitely needs to learn a lot more than that. Junior needs to know he's the Legacy of the Legend." Frankenstein said, before being interrupted.
"Who's Junior?" The actives heard a not so familiar tone to a very familiar voice coming into the house.
"Look who I found wandering out in the rain by the Omega Chi house." Shakespeare said, helping a very drunk Maddie into the house.
"Sissy!" The actives screamed, running over to help her.
"You're freezing." Popsicle said.
"Another round of shots!" She drunkly said, falling into Popsicle's arms.
"Come on. Let's get you dried off and changed." Popsicle said, setting her half-conscious body on the couch.
"Somebody call Titan. He's going to want to know about this." Dalmatian said.
"I will; he's my little brother." Frankenstein said. He took out his cell and dialed his little bro's number.
"Hey little bro." Frankenstein said.
"Frankie, you just interrupted my reading." Carson jokingly complained. "You guys are the ones that want me to finish. A break is just what I need, even though it's like midnight. What going on?"
"Shakespeare found your best friend wandering around by the Omega Chi house. You better come see for yourself." Frankenstein replied.
"Ok." Carson was slightly confused. "I'll be right there."
He grabbed his Cappie book, put on a jacket, and ran to the Kappa Tau house. When he got there, he was very shocked by who he saw.
"What happened?" He asked, running over to try and help Maddie. "And why is she wearing an oversized KT shirt?"
"She was out in the rain, so her clothes were soaked." Shakespeare explained. "She was outside the Omega Chi house when I found her."
"Thanks for staying with her. I can take it from here." Carson said.
"You're sure?" The actives asked.
"Yeah, you guys go to bed. I got it."
"Alright. See you in the morning." The actives said, going upstairs to their rooms.
Carson joined a passed out Maddie on the couch. He put her head on his lap and stroked her hair, wondering how on earth this could have happened. While he watched her sleep, he continued to read his book.
Why is nobody coming to our party? Oh I know…it's because we have no alcohol! Our party fund was tapped out for our basketball championship after party. We need a new strategy. It's time to bring Bing's party here, but this time, give it Kappa Tau flare. Now where did I put the douchebag, bag?
March 5, 2008
Spring Break's just around the corner. Time to give our pledges the one thing they're going to need in order to survive it…fake ID's. Hopefully they learn how to use them properly.
Spitter, what have you gotten yourself into. You took your fake identity a little too far. If you get this carried away in Myrtle Beach I swear to god I'm going to take that little engineering brain of yours and pummel it until the real Spitter comes back.
March 23, 2008
SPRING BREAK! Myrtle Beach here we come! A week of nothing but booze, beach, and babes. Can't wait to get this party started! Hopefully all the kegs will fit on the bus, and hopefully the bus actually makes it without any problems. Don't want a repeat of last year.
What the hell is Rebecca's obsession with romance? One, it's spring break, you're supposed to be as rowdy as humanly possible…and two I'm not the most romantic guy. Rebecca knew that from the start and wanted to date me anyway. I'm here to have fun, not to do all that lovey dovey mushy stuff.
Now this is more like it; building a sand castle with my newest best bud Casey. Seeing her this relaxed reminds me of our first spring break freshman year. Ah, good times…good times.
Oh my god Rebecca, what are you doing? You know how slutty you look right now. Normally I like slutty, but it's not a good color on you. I like you as the snobby little rich girl. And why do you have to make everything about Casey? Yes, I still have feelings for her, and yes I do still think about what it would be like to be with her again, but right now, I'm 100% committed to you. Don't be stupid and break up with me over Casey, which I know is not the real reason. Something is bothering you, and like always, you're using Casey to hide your true feelings.
Where am I? What just happened? Why does my head hurt? I must've been knocked out pretty hard because Casey seems extra nice and carefree today. It's starting to freak me out a little, but in a good way. This walk on the beach with her is a lot better than the one I took with Rebecca, except for the fact that my head feels like it's going to explode. The ice is helping though, as are Casey's soft lips. A romantic kiss on a moonlit beach; it's moments like these that I wish I could share with her forever. I just hope Rebecca doesn't find out.
"This guy seriously cannot get over my mother." Carson whispered, causing Maddie to wake up a little. She reached her arm over and pulled the nearest container over to herself and puked up some of the alcohol she had ingested that evening. About 10 minutes later, Maddie curled herself back up on Carson's lap and fell back asleep. He readjusted himself on the couch, now having her head on his chest, and continued reading.
April 18, 2008
Ah, Greek Week. The time of year when all the Greeks compete in really dumb events to see who's the best sorority and fraternity on campus. In other words, fail miserably while Omega Chi whoops our ass for the umpteenth year in a row. But this year will be different. This year the Kappa Tau's will rise up and reclaim the title that has been keeping us down ever since the beginning of time. This time it will be Kappa Tau that is the Greek Week Olympiad Champion.
Oh my god! If one more person brings up Rebecca's spring break mishap, I'm going to punch them in the face the same way I got punched. Especially you Bing; I may be getting your sloppy seconds but that just means you're a crappy ass boyfriend that doesn't know how to treat a woman.
Whoever said men shouldn't wear skirts did not try one on because let me tell you, they are ridiculously comfy and freeing. And thank you Heath for getting your sister to teach us that cheer, it kicks ass!
Damnit, those Omega Chi sluts stole our cheer. Now there's only one of us who has been friendly with the enemy; Spitter, I know you're my little brother, but you're making my life a living hell.
Ok, so maybe I let my issues with Evan cloud my judgment. The brothers should be allowed to be friends with whoever they want, no matter what house they're in. Time to see if Spitter and Calvin will give me a temporary visa into their strong independent little country.
April 30, 2008
Uh oh. Spitter's skipping class. This can't be good. And what the hell is Kappa Tau Tower? You guys have way too much time on your hands if you ask me.
Spitter, must you take like six hours to explain all of your problems. Seriously, most people can explain in 10 minutes what takes you an hour. Oh well, at least Rebecca is learning the upside to scandal. I just wish I could do more for her than buy her stuff and making jokes.
May 3, 2008
Broncosaurus, you poor poor girl. You need to get better for daddy. I miss being able to fly down a dirt road in you. The pledges can't push you fast enough for me. They all say it's time to let you go, but I can't. We've been together far too long for me to let anything happen to you.
I really need to get myself one of those "Fixing Cars for Dummies" books. I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing, and I have no clue what that metal thing that fell out was. And where exactly is the engine?
I know I need a new car, but there is something about Rebecca buying it that seems so emasculating. I need a way to get the car without her paying for it.
"Is he nuts? I would love for a girl to buy me a car." Carson said, his eyes starting to shut. He was about to read more when his eyes completely shut and the book fell on his face. One arm fell off the couch while the other found its way onto Maddie's back, playing with her damp hair. He drifted off to sleep, dreaming of meeting his cool new alumni brother very soon.
