Despite being thirty-two years of age, Adrian was still unfamiliar with exactly how universities and fraternities worked. He’d always been more involved with hands-on skills rather than academic subjects. After getting laid off however, Adrian was forced to go pick up some other skills to get into some stable work. Laid off wasn’t really the right word. The company who owned his contract had gone bankrupt, forcing him and everyone he worked with out of a job. After going nearly six months without a paycheck, Adrian decided he couldn’t handle something like that again. Now he was attending university for an economics degree, figuring money wasn’t going to go out of business any time soon and mathematics came quite naturally to him.<br/><br/>Fraternities were generally associated with young college guys doing a whole lot of keggers together but Pi Kappa Alpha seemed a lot more… uptight than normal. He wasn’t particularly interested in joining a frat but he did need some friends on campus and somewhere to stay. When the envelope was handed over to him, it seemed like a pretty good opportunity. He opened it up on his way to classes, skimming the letter written in fancy calligraphy. He just had to meet back at the frat house at midnight, well after the campus had closed up for the night. Hazing would begin pretty much right away but only the strongest brothers would be able to make it through. That last bit sounded a little ominous to Adrian but figured it was more a threat than anything.<br/><br/>The rest of his day continued on as normal. Just his one lecture for the day, some studying in the library, some goofing off in the library, finishing off his dinner and dressing as nicely as possible before heading out to the frat house of Pi Kappa Alpha. He didn’t want to be outdone by their well-fitted blazers.<br/><br/>Outside was a bunch of other students, Adrian assumed they’d all arrived much earlier than he had and he wasn’t even late. It seemed like even getting invited was a privilege. Adrian wasn’t really part of the loop here, that was becoming more and more obvious. Soon enough, the front doors had opened and Auden, the leader of their pack stepped out into the night to address all the recipients of their letters.
