Just in time for Spring Rush comes a little ray of sunshine. beta beta beta, or St. Midge, founded only a short time ago at Wesleyan, has finally made its way onto Penn's campus.
Since the beginning of the week, dozens of diminutive freshmen have crowded onto the porch of 3980.5 Baltimore, where the frat has made its pint-sized home. President Albert Smallington says they've been trying to integrate themselves on campus, but it hasn't been easy. "We tried to plan rush activities with some of the other frats. At one point or another, they always dropped the T-bomb" - tossing, for the midget cognoscenti. "We had to start soliciting the business fraternities." For the wees, the shortbus to the McDonald's was their saving grace after being kicked out of Six Flags.
Waiting outside last Sunday night, potential pledge Webster exclaimed: "I can't wait to find my big." For the freshman from Des Moines, Iowa, beta beta beta has been a great way to enjoy "normal" frat life. "The second night, we went down to the basement - they had a totally sick 10-inch beer bong."
"It's fraternity culture writ small," said Sociology Professor Gavid Drazian, adding: "I see it as a microcosm of the typical male collegiate experience. Finally, these men can be called 'littles' with pride."
