3. Oblivious Pledge

“YOU GUYS SAID THIS HOUSE WAS NON-HAZING!”

Oblivious pledges don’t come around often, as it takes a truly special breed of stupid to be as isolated from reality as this guy. Most pledges can grasp the thinly-disguised meaning behind key words like “voluntary,” “suggested,” or “optional,” but not this kid. The moment that first blindfold goes on, this kid thinks he’s apart of some sort of joke and will often laugh a little. This isn’t what he signed up for, right?

Oblivious Pledge is 100% book-smart and 0% street-smart. No amount of whiskey-fueled yelling can get the message through this kid’s thick skull. He seriously thinks all the paddles on the wall are purely decorative. He’s the pledge that is spending every spare minute he has studying for the “Nationals Test,” and excitedly counting down the days towards that awesome “Pre-Initiation Brotherhood Development Week” he keeps hearing so much about. Unfortunately for oblivious pledge, he usually won’t make it that far.
