Todd sat in a low chair in a hallway, a makeshift waiting area at the Alpha Phi sorority house. It was early afternoon and the house was mostly deserted. Another guy had arrived about fifteen minutes before and sat down next to him. A couple of girls had passed through the hallway about ten minutes earlier, but so far no one had gone in our out of the room he was waiting outside of. A third guy entered the hallway and walked over to where they were sitting. He checked his watch, stared at the door for a moment, then finally sat down.
"Are we all here for the same thing?" He asked.
Todd and the other guy stared at each other and then back at the first guy. The other guy asked, "I don't know, what are you here for?"
"Well, I rushed the Beta Phi fraternity and I didn't get a bid. I got a note that there was going to be another chance to make it in. I'm Jack." Jack was had a trim muscular build and short black hair.
The guy next to Todd struggled up out of the chair and stuck out his hand. "Hi. I'm Chris. I guess we are here for the same thing." He shook Jack's hand. Chris was several inches taller than Jack and thin. He had shaggy medium length sandy blonde hair.
"I thought you looked familiar," Todd said. He got up and shook hands with both Chris and Jack. "Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Todd." Todd was just an inch shorter than Jack and was even skinnier than Chris. He had medium-length brown hair.
"Oh yeah, now I remember," said Chris. "You were at the rush party."
"Yeah, I didn't make it past that."
"Me neither." Chris looked at Jack. "Hey, I don't remember you at all."
"You sure? Well, I didn't even make it to the end of the party. Have you guys knocked on the door yet?"
"Well, no," Chris answered.
"I'm sure they'll let us in when they're ready. Maybe more guys are coming."
"Nonsense." Jack knocked on the door. "Hello?"
The door opened and a girl stepped out. She was tall and thin with glossy black hair that she was wearing up with an elaborate fastener. She wore a tight light gray business suit with a very short skirt. She carried a clipboard which she consulted. "Are all three of you here?" She looked up. "Chris? Todd? Jack?" Each guy responded to his name. "Very good. Gentlemen, please come in."
Three chairs were set up in front of a large desk. The girl walked around and sat behind the desk while the three guys sat in the three chairs. There was another girl sitting in a swivel chair in the corner of the room. She was slouched down, idly turning the chair to the right and left. She had on tight low cut jeans and a little clingy white tank top. She had curly blonde hair and when the first girl walked by she rolled her eyes. "Sheesh, Pen. Can't we go to the beach or something?"
"Patricia, now just hold on a minute. I've got business to attend to."
Trish snorted in laughter. "All right, Penelope." She dragged out each syllable of the name. "I'll just sit here with my thumb up my butt."
All three guys were looking over at Trish and they chuckled. "Gentlemen, please. Direct your attention to me." All three quickly looked her way. "We're here for a very serious matter." She consulted her clipboard again. "Each of you tried to rush Beta Phi and didn't even make it into the pledge class. As you may know, this sorority, Alpha Phi, is the sister sorority of the Beta Phi fraternity. I'm the chair of the joint Pledge Oversight Committee and in reviewing your records I decided to give you another chance."
The three guys looked at each other and smiled.
"Cool."
"That's great."
Penelope continued. "Now, there's only one slot open so I've decided to hold a contest between you three to see who is awarded the slot."
"Wait a minute," Chris broke in. "Doesn't the rush end this coming week?"
Penelope glared at him. She took a breath and said, "Yes, the same as the contest. Now if you'll please refrain from interrupting me."
"Sorry."
"Understand that because you're on the accelerated track it may be an intense week. Do you boys understand that?"
"Sure."
"Yeah, of course."
"All right. Here is the standard pledge contract." She handed each of them a clipboard with a stapled packet of papers on it. "Look it over carefully and sign it. Then we'll get everything started."
Jack flipped through the pages quickly and signed the last page with the pen that was attached to the clipboard. He looked at the other guys and said, "It's the standard Beta Phi pledge contract. I signed the same thing last year when I made it further along in the process."
Chris said, "This is your second time? Try number four for me. This is my last chance to get in. If I don't I'll never hear the end of it from my father. He's a Beta Phi and made pretty damned sure I'd better make it, too." He flipped to the end and signed the last page of the pledge contract. "What about you, Todd?"
Todd has also turned to the last page and signed his name. "Well, it was my first time rushing, but I made it a personal goal of mine to make it and I don't like to fail. I'm so glad we get this second chance." The three guys passed their clipboards back to Penelope.
"Yes, yes," said Penelope. She stood up. "It's all very touching. If you didn't already guess, I'm going to be your pledge master, Miss Penelope to you. I don't want you to speak unless you're spoken to and you're to follow my instructions to the letter. We haven't yet finished all the details of the contest but we've got a room upstairs where you three will stay this week." She walked to the door and opened it. She stuck her head out the door and yelled out, "Pledge!"
A girl came running down the hallway at breakneck speed and stopped in front of the door. "Yes, ma'am?"
"Pledge, show these guys to the room you were getting ready earlier today."
"Yes, ma'am."
She looked back at the group of three guys and said, "You guys have to understand the pecking order around here. In this house we have sisters and pledges and even the pledges are above you because they're real pledges. Is that going to bother you?"
Chris and Jack said, "No."
Todd said, "No, Miss Penelope."
Penelope put her thumb and forefinger under Todd's chin and smiled. "I think there's hope for you after all. Now I'm taking a chance on you guys and you better not make me look bad. All right, go already."
The pledge led the guys down the hall. Penelope stepped back into the room and sank down into the chair behind the desk.
"Pen, what are you up to?"
"What? Just doing a little public service. You heard those guys, I'm going to fulfill someone's lifelong dream."
"I'll bet. You're just pissed you didn't get to be the pledge master for us this year. After what happened last year you're lucky you're not banned permanently. Who'd you cozy up to over at Beta Phi to pull this thing off?"
"Never you mind. And I'm going to do things right this time. I promise."
"Whatever you say."
"Now come on. Let me change out of this monkey suit. We have a couple hours to kill and I'm at your disposal."
Trish got up out of the chair and twirled her finger sarcastically. "Yippee."

Later the guys were hanging out in their new room. Todd was on the king-size bed. It had a hot-pink comforter on it. Jack was laying on the couch which was under the window and Chris was laying on a shaggy throw rug on the floor in front of the bed. Off to the side there was a vanity with a large mirror. The room's decor was pink and fluffy and the guys looked out of place. The door opened and Penelope walked in followed by three other girls. She had her hair down and it was very long. She was wearing white pants and a black halter top.
"How are you guys doing?" She didn't wait for an answer. "Good, good. I'm sure you're anxious to get things started. Let me introduce you to the three pledge captains. Kelly, Samantha, and Donna." She gestured at each girl as she said their names. "We're so proud of this year's pledge class." She reached over ruffled Samantha's hair. "We're having a party tonight, a costume party in fact. We're holding a best costume contest for you three guys. Kelly, Samantha, and Donna are heading up the three teams who are going to design a costume for each one of you. Their job is to make the costume and your job is to wear it. Understand?"
Chris, Jack, and Todd nodded.
"Good. Now this is very important to them so don't mess it up. I don't want to hear any complaints. From them or from you." She glared at them. "Donna, take him," she gestured at Jack, "into your room. Kelly, take this one," she gestured at Chris, "into the bathroom." She looked at Todd. "You're staying in here with Sam." She looked back at the girls. "Get your teams together and get to work. You only have an hour and a half. I want to see some fantastic costumes or I'm going to be disappointed."
Everyone went out the door but Todd. Samantha returned a few minutes later with two other girls. Samantha had the same long glossy black hair that Penelope had and had a lot of the same features but was a couple inches shorter. One of the other girls who came in with her had brown hair and the other was a dirty blonde. They each were holding a large shopping bag. They came in and shut the door. Todd tried to say hi but they didn't respond to him. He said, "Well, do you guys need any ideas for a costume? I was a really good devil one year."
Samantha looked at him and said nothing. She turned to the other girls and said, "I think I guessed the right sizes. What color hair do you think?" She reached into one of the shopping bags and pulled out a strawberry blonde wig. "This one?"
The brunette said, "Yeah, that's perfect." Samantha put the wig on Jack's head.
Samantha reached into the bag again. She asked the other girls, "Now what do you think of this skirt."
Todd was feeling uneasy and said, "Hey, what's that for? I'm not wearing a skirt. This wig was fine when I thought you were making me into a rock star or something, but I'm not dressing up like a girl.
