What is 100WCGU? Each week there is a prompt: a few connected words, a selection of individual words or a picture. You have 100 words in order to write a creative piece.
This week’s prompt is a picture (to visit the site click here):
Got to Have Some Sigma Eta Xi
I can’t believe I doing this.
I’m actually sitting petrified on Jackal’s Tongue Bluff
Everything is squishy. I’m dizzy. I’m going to throw up.
Why did I agree to pee off the Bluff?
I should never have pledged for the Sigma Eta Xi.
My pants are wet, I freezing, and I swear I’m gonna die.
And next they want me stand naked in front of John’s All Night Diner and beg for food.
If I don’t measure up on the bluff and in the buff, they’ll de-pledge me.
The friggin’ parties and girls better be worth it.

I just wish the wind would change direction…..
So that was you pledging….
not me, I was just repeating what the picture spoke to me.
I hate the very idea of hazing. Such an awful thing, but your piece explains why so many young people willingly go through it.
It is not fun – humiliating – and dangerous. Randy
Now that made me smile – the things people do to just be a part of a social club!
Chi Omega Upsilon Gamma Alpha Rho (Cougar) is having a pledge Drive – want to t go out for their hazing routine?
You can join me outside the diner –
BTW i wonder if anyone realized that Sigma Eta Xi’s initial spell SEX… Randy
Well, I realized it before I clicked on your Linky List entry… 😉
good for you… I like someone who can see sex coming and still click.
It’s sad what people are prepared to do in order to belong and it’s positively frightening how others are prepared to exploit this need. You make a very good point in 100 words.
Your comment made me sad thinking about the broad stroke of humanity’s inhumanity just within the last 100 years from the first great depression where everyone wanted to get rich quick to Hitler’s Third Reich (and all our religious and ethnic cleansing wars since then) to the current depression where we once again want to get rich quick and the hell with the poor and middle class and anyone else (again ethnic cleansing and religious – the hell with blacks, latinos, non-christians – the 47%, the 99% and on and on).
Wow, all this from peeing over a cliff…
These young people, ts, ts, ts. 🙂
what is the world coming to?
Oh dear. This made me laugh but only because I would never do anything like this and just don’t get why anyone would go through this torture just to be part of some social club… I know ‘Sigma Eta Xi’ is all some teens can think about but still… An interesting take on the prompt!
so I guess streaking would be out of the question for you too? 😉
Thanks for the comments. I appreciate the conversations. Randy
Well, I’m told nothing motivates young guys quite like it…..(maybe older ones too, who am I to say??)
Funny piece!
It’s what makes the world go ’round as the song goes….
Ha! Wonderful take on it, I’d never have thought of it. Very original.
glad you liked it.
Lol! From my point of view nothing would be worth it! I’m terrified of heights! Poor bloke, easily led!
But aren’t we all at some time or another? Love leads us, curiosity leads us, greed leads us, children lead us, friends, and on and on.
The things youth does, just to be accepted by others just like them.
tsk. tsk. What is the world coming to.
