Pledges Stick Together

Thank you to Bob Snelling ’54 for answering our recent call for memories.

He writes, “I found that it didn’t matter if you were an SAE or KS or SN, pledges looked out for one another. In the fall of 1951 we were all at a home football game at Penn State and the Brothers had told us at the end of the game to go down on the field and get a piece of the wooden goal posts when they were torn down for our KS House. I was running full tilt down the field and never noticed the fellow standing there watching us run by. As I passed him he unexpectedly hit me in the face knocking me to the ground. Those coming behind me tore into him and this self appointed person (one of many it seemed) to stop the tearing down of the goal posts, ran from the field with a few black and blue marks of his own to remember the day.”
