Pledges At Kennesaw State Filmed Chanting From Campus Sewer

Screen Shot 2015-03-02 at 10.00.55 PM

Members of Pi Kappa Phi at Kennesaw State University are into some weird shit — not allegedly or apparently. They are straight up into weird ass stuff, as evidenced by the video below. In a bizarre scene yesterday evening, a KSU student came upon the sound of chanting coming from below the parking lot pavement on which he was walking. The names Anthony Pelzer Wagener, Theodore Barnwell Kelly, and James Fogarty were clearly heard being called out in unison. These are names of their fraternity’s founders.

It’s unconfirmed that the group of Pi Kappa Phi members engaging in this unorthodox ritual were pledges, but we’re going to assume their active members aren’t into chilling in campus sewers for pleasure. Master Splinter down there just hazing balls on a casual Sunday night. Ruthless.

From The Sentinel:

Sentinel photo editor, Matthew Boggs, was walking across a seemingly vacant campus parking lot when he heard voices coming from beneath him.

“I was walking across campus on a night photo-walk when I thought I heard voices coming from behind me. I turned around and there was no one there,” said Boggs. “I realized it was coming from the drain and I first thought it was echoing from somewhere else, but then I saw a cellphone underneath the drain grate and I knew people were down there. It sounded like chanting and it was very unnerving.”

The video is below.

It’s going to take some unprecedented creativity to explain this one to authorities. Godspeed, guys.

    Wow, I can’t believe the staff posted this. This is a part of rituals, not something to just be shown everywhere. I’m all for watching and hearing about pledges having to earn their place, but you don’t mess with a mans rituals.

        If it’s that secret they shouldn’t be doing it in a storm drain.

    Ah Kennesaw State, the school where you go if you can’t get into UGA, GSU, GCSU, Southern, or anywhere that doesn’t suck donkey dick.

    Honestly, I get why the staff posted this (to get clicks & traffic), but it really has no business being on the internet. This is 100% a ritual this individual chapter has adopted as part of their pledge (hazing) program. Not saying my chapter sends our pledges into the sewers, but we definitely do shit that if posted on the internet could ruin our personal lives. It doesn’t seem like they’re screaming at anyone to roll around in shit, so my assumption is they took them down there with some sort of ritualistic purpose. Fuck you for posting this Dorn, you can’t even defend it by saying they’re in trouble and its national news. You’re now an accomplice to getting them in trouble by putting this on full blast.

      For the record, this is what’s being recited:

      The Man In The Glass
      Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.

      When you get what you want in your struggle for self
      And the world makes you king for a day
      Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
      And see what that man has to say.

      For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
      Whose judgment upon you must pass
      The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
      Is the one staring back from the glass.

      He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest
      For he’s with you, clear to the end
      And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
      If the man in the glass is your friend.

      You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
      And get pats on the back as you pass
      But your final reward will be heartache and tears
      If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

      If you don’t want it filmed, don’t do it in public. Storm drains are public.

      It was posted in the KSU paper three hours before it was posted here. Seriously doubt if they needed any help from TFM to get in trouble.

        Yeah because KSU news paper is a “national” news outlet. I hadn’t even heard of Kennesaw before today. TFM as a news outlet puts this whole situation on full blast. They always do this shit.

        You are seriously overestimating the power of TFM. A TFM post is not even close to “full blast.” Maybe you should stop getting your news exclusively from TFM, Reddit, and Buzzfeed.

        If you don’t want your fraternity’s ritual put on “full blast” in the media, don’t hold your fraternity’s ritual in a public sewer. You and your idiot frat have gotten the attention you deserve.

        I can tell that you’re either a GDI or in high school with the way you use frat instead of fraternity.

      Brother, this is clearly not an esoteric ritual for Pi Kappa Phi. You have a very loose interpretation of the term “ritual” if you think otherwise. All of the information shared in the video is public knowledge about our fraternity. No Pi Kappa Phi secrets were divulged. I agree that this asshole Matthew Boggs had no business posting this video on the Internet, but at the same time it was extremely reckless of the Pledge Trainer(s) to conduct pledging activities in such a public place. They’re the ones at fault. Regardless, it’s not that big of a deal and it could have been a lot worse.

        Not sure about your chapter, but at mine we used the Man in the Glass poem as part of one of our first rituals. Won’t go into more detail, but I’m postive this is not a esoteric ritual, that doesn’t mean the KSU chapter didn’t “adopt” or “create” their own special ritual. Our chapter does alot of stuff that’s not exactly by the book.

        If you are so concerned with maintaining the secret of your rituals, then shut the fuck up about your rituals.

      Given that your national organization has a zero-tolerance policy on hazing, I would think that you would be more discrete in your comments. You have just announced to the world that your Kennesaw State chapter is hazing, and that you have participated in hazing activities that, if published on the Internet, would ruin your personal life. What do you think THIS is, the telegraph?
