A long time ago, in a land far away, there was a nutty professor. This professor had a son, who was a tad on the wild side. Being of like minds, another boy befriended this untamed lad. They had a good friendship, never ratting out the other when picked up by the law. Both grew up and went their separate ways, boy A became a top-notch mechanic and boy B went to try his hand at college.

While attempting higher education, boy B saw a flyer advertising free beer and pizza. Money was tight so a free dinner and a buzz was just enough to persuade this fellow to go to an Open Tea; which he considered gay (sorry if this offends you). While indulging in the free fare, he noticed a display of items containing a small metal pin. He asked one of the hosts, “what the f**k is that thing?” The response was, “it’s a pledge pin of the founder of our fraternity; Rocco LaRusso” and at that moment he decided to join Nu Sigma Phi.

After three years, the boy finally figured out that college wasn’t his bag and attended a tech school where he found his initial profession; which led him to bigger and better things and he now lives happily ever before. Now when asked what he went to college for and what he got out of it, his answer is “I became a member of an organization whose members I love and trust more than most of the people I grew up with.” Just in case you didn’t figure it out, Rocco LaRusso is the nutty professor, boy A is his son Teddy LaRusso and yours truly is boy B.
