Edge
“My dad wanted to march him right into the Phi Deke fraternity house and say, “Here’s your new pledge!”
My mother is the one in the family blessed with some sense of reality, despite the fact that she read us Stephen King as bedtime stories when we were kids. My mother said Denny should stay in the dorm. She said that the fraternity knew about him and they’d invite him over when they were ready. Denny, you see, was a legacy.
What made him a legacy was that Dad had been a Phi Deke when he... went to college. If your father was a Phi Deke, the fraternity had to take you. It didn’t matter what a legacy looked like, what his grades were, or if he was a dud.
Dad felt good after we left Denny. He said college would teach Denny to assert himself, and the fraternity would make a man out of him. Mom raised her eyebrows and gave me a look. She’d sneaked some of her Crushed Walnut Cake into Denny’s garment bag, so I think she knew he was going to need some comfort.MoreLess
