Volume 3: My days in a college fraternity Chapter 88 Honorary Privileges
"We've been wasting time for so long, it's time to do something serious and let everyone know that the fraternity is not a child's game! We are real brothers! We can give everything for each other!" Ted, the new director of the SSD fraternity, said in a serious tone to the dozen or so fraternity members in front of him with a stern face, pointing at the whiteboard next to him with a straw.
A dozen old birds looked at each other, then all looked at Ted. One of them frowned and asked, "What happened, Ted?"
"Tommy and Jason used their honorary privileges." Ted glanced at his companions in front of him. He was serious at first, but then he spoke weakly in the second half of the sentence: "Because these two idiots, maggots, and shits didn't finish their math homework! They don't want to be in trouble with the professor. The professor has collected the homework before class. The two of them haven't handed it in yet, but they are working hard to finish it. We have to wait until they finish their homework and hand in their homework without the professor knowing."
Every SSD member has the privilege of SSD's Honor Mobilization at least once. Some members who frequently bring honor to the fraternity may even have it two or three times. When they encounter troubles that they cannot handle temporarily, they can use the privilege and ask the fraternity for help, and the fraternity cannot refuse.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard what Ted said. People usually used this privilege because they couldn't seduce the girl they liked and hoped that the fraternity would help them, or they encountered various emergencies when dating girls. In short, they were all problems in life. Someone even used this privilege to become emperor for a day, and then the fraternity members found ways to cooperate with him to cosplay as ministers and revolutionaries. When the privilege ended, they successfully rebelled and sent the bastard who had tormented them for a day to the guillotine.
Basically, this privilege means that you have the right to use the SSD for a good day trip, but obviously no one has thought of using the privilege for things like handing in homework.
"Although those two maggots are our new brothers, I am not going to kidnap the professor for them, Ted." An old bird said decisively: "This is too much. They didn't complete their homework and asked the fraternity to find a way to solve it? I don't think they can use privileges to force the fraternity to help them complete it. This is cheating."
"You're a little excited, brother." Seeing that his companion's tone was a little intense, Ted asked curiously, "What did they do to make you unhappy ? What made you oppose it?"
The other party looked at the looks from his companions, spread his hands and said righteously: "I am unhappy because last time when I didn't complete my homework, I didn't think of using my privileges to ask the fraternity to help me get it done. If they don't get punished, I will be heartbroken."
"Very good, if there are no problems, I will arrange the action plan. First, I need two running backs." Ted pointed to the whiteboard and said to everyone, "Who is the running back? Now you can change into protective gear and running shoes."
…
In the classroom, Tommy and Jason were writing furiously. Jason whispered to Tommy while writing, "Are you sure that privilege can keep us alive? I don't want to receive a letter of dissuasion, and then have my father rush over from Mississippi with a shotgun, shoot me, and then give birth to a son to inherit the family business."
At Stanford University, submitting assignments late is a terrible thing. It is not that if you submit an assignment half a day late and then go to the professor and say a few nice words to beg for mercy, the other party will forgive you. For example, if you submit an assignment two minutes late, maybe because the professor is in a bad mood, you will lose two credits. Or you may be unlucky and encounter a professor who has an unhappy family life recently and is abused or humiliated by his wife, and he has no place to vent his anger, so he simply writes you a warning letter saying that you have an academic misconduct. That would be even worse. Getting an extra warning letter means that you have to work twice as hard as other students to prove yourself, let the school forgive you, and give you that college diploma.
"I gave Ted an action plan. If he does what I said, there shouldn't be any problem." Tommy bit his pen and whispered as he examined the last math problem in front of him.
At this moment, the bell for the end of get out of class rang!
After the professor announced the end of class, he picked up the homework box full of homework on the podium and walked out quickly. The other students also stood up with numb expressions and rushed to the next classroom.
"Hey, two rookies, Ted said you two need help?" An old guy wearing football protective gear walked in from outside and greeted the two.
Tommy and Jason were too busy talking to each other to finish their homework. Tommy saw Jason stop writing and snatched his homework and handed it to him: "Run! Quick!"
"I never thought that I learned football in order to race with a professor in his fifties one day!" The other person took the homework, cursed, turned around and rushed out of the classroom.
In the corridor outside, a fraternity member pointed at the elevator and said to the guys rushing out, "The target has taken the elevator downstairs."
"Shit!" The football player rushed into the stairwell holding two assignments like he was holding a football and threw the two assignments down the stairs: "I didn't make it in time, it's up to you!"
The football player who was already ready on the first floor picked up his homework and rushed out quickly. The fraternity member guarding the elevator on the first floor also promptly informed the professor of his movements, with a tremor in his voice: "The target is already heading towards the parking lot! Hurry! If it's any later, we'll have to kidnap the professor for two idiots who can't finish their homework!"
The reason why the companions who were taking a break were worried was that university professors only had four to six classes a week and had the rest of their time at their disposal. This meant that once the professor drove away, they would have no idea where he was going next, whether he was going back to the office to grade homework, or going home to spend time with his family, or going to watch a striptease to relieve stress.
"Pass the ball to Eric!" Ted, wearing a football uniform, walked out of the parking lot with a few friends. Looking at the professor who was getting closer and closer, he took a deep breath and gave the order.
"Why me?" Eric took the football thrown by his companion, his face full of confusion: "You want me to have a body collision with the professor?"
"You recruited those two maggots, Tommy and Jason, and you're their Big, so of course it's your duty to do this." Ted said innocently.
Eric cursed, then suddenly accelerated while holding the ball, rushing forward, shouting, "Get out of the way! Stanford's best quarterback is here!"
Ted and others behind were chasing frantically, and it looked like a warm-up episode happening among a group of football players on their way to a game.
When the professor heard Eric's shout, he stood obediently by the side of the road. He even couldn't help but admire these students for their energy and vitality, which filled Stanford with vitality.
As a result, the next second, Eric rushed over and hit the professor's homework box with his shoulder! Fortunately, he used less force, and the professor was only knocked off balance, but the homework box he was holding was directly knocked away, and the homework fell out of it and scattered all over the floor!
The companion who was holding Tommy and Jason's homework ran over first and threw the homework among the other homework before the professor could react.
The others also gathered around to ask about the professor's well-being, and helped to pick up the homework on the floor. At the same time, they took the opportunity to humiliate Eric with all kinds of vicious words. The professor, who was still in shock, looked at the dozen strong young men in front of him, and finally did not choose to get angry. He just took the collected homework box with a gloomy face and looked at the culprit Eric:
"May I have your name?"
"Eric Bell." Eric lowered his head, with an expression of humility and willingness to learn. "Professor, I can accompany you to the infirmary for a physical examination. I am very sorry that my reckless action just now frightened you."
"No, Eric, I forgive you. You'd better be glad that you didn't take my class, otherwise I promise I won't let you have time to play football again." After saying that, the professor took the reorganized homework box and walked towards the parking lot arrogantly.
After the professor walked away, Ted said to Eric, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and was glad to have escaped, "Who do you think the professor would suspect first if he walked to his car and found that all four tires were flat?"
"Why? Who did it?" Eric heard Ted's voice and looked at him desperately.
Ted patted Eric on the shoulder. "To be safe, try to delay as much as possible. Tommy said so."
"That idiot better stay out of my sight for two weeks," Eric said glumly.
Tommy, who witnessed everything from the classroom window, said to Jason, "Your dad probably won't have to have another child this time, but it's hard to say, because next time you bring honor to SSD by spraying beer and me playing table tennis, you have to do all your homework by yourself, and it's best not to have such an accident again."
“It would be great if homework and exams in college could be as easy as spraying beer.” Jason breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion while looking at the figures of his SSD brothers who were quickly evacuating outside the window.
"Superman only has one S, but students from prestigious schools need to get three Ss, which means we are better than Superman." Tommy patted his shoulder and turned to walk out of the classroom: "I have to do something to end this kind of life as soon as possible."
