I experienced at saying the parallel universes I experienced the white fraternity what’s the we always heard horror stories about black fraternities why horror stories just hazing was next level they’d be like our guys were hazing they go you have no idea what the black people are doing in there we’re like
Wait what and they’re like oh and then you see these dudes with big old Megas branding their arms you were your papa’s on cap alpha side I got a brand on my hip you’re the brand my leg brand on my chest frame on your chest yeah we did we
Did omegas [ __ ] and you go to Beach week with that on bro you take it I take my shirt off and get tan that [ __ ] come through so dark so that’s I always know it’s it’s winter when I looked down at my brand it’s faded like you can beer
And you Cataline they had a catalog like you have yeah you have it made with your fraternity logo and crest on it walk me through I want to walk me through the entire branding process like random processes you tell them what you want a majority is on your arm and on your
Chest now she’s gonna Vega or what they call the Q doll the purple and gold fraternity a lot of times they make they Brown with a what a Kurtwood uh with a with an iron leg hanger clothes hanger that’s what I always heard was that you
Did it with a hanger that’s the [ __ ] that a keloid and pop up and raise up off your skin and some people’s skin is prone to keloid all black people were prone to peculiar no because I my [ __ ] never raised up yeah so that’s not true
You can do it though if you got a idiot Brandon you and he’ll know what he doing and you keep that [ __ ] too long on your skin oh yeah that’s really that [ __ ] just bubbles up and before you know it it’s gonna heal that way so that’s that’s what forms the keloid
Yeah so you’d see them walking around like there wasn’t I don’t think there was any black fraternities of Florida State it was all family yeah it was all family you know I wasn’t for real yeah with a big all through Florida State Theta ada cap alpha side be enough I
Remember seeing omegas branded and being like justice and then we all we did we got a little tiny Omega and we did it on our arms what was a fret alpha 2 alpha 2 Omega Alpha Tau man ok so V ATO so we got a little but then I got shot by a
Paintball and it disappeared I got shot by a paintball and it’s right on top of where we all got the brand yeah I was tiny it was literally like this at least a hundred dudes no that’s that’s to me it’s at least at least 70 dudes with
This bunny rabbit but each line got something different there’s something small about this money rabbit that’s different so when my eye is black somebody’s eye would be clear somebody’s eye would be colored in red something different but anyway you put vaseline the way you’re supposed to prep put
Vaseline all over the area that you want to brand take the cattle iron or the board or the clothes hanger and just tap it and come off that’s all you got to do you had a knife there’s a guy there’s a guy that’s like the expert Brander no
It’s Joe 18 year old buddy that you hope he do this [ __ ] right and don’t [ __ ] up your skin for life you know what I mean it’s usually a dude that does everybody yeah but you know we kids but it was like hey put the beer down and come to this brand
Type of thing man come on what you want it you know mean that type of thing so for real so how do they heat it up just so over like a fire yeah you put in a fire and or you just let it stay on the
Stove let it stay on the stove so did and did you just it was like a was there one night of branding like the your yeah you know it just be random you got to already like be your brother and then you just plan it so if somebody brought
A brand to a big function oh it’s just a party going on there’s a room somewhere in that party with cats getting branding you know I mean so yeah I ain’t gonna never forgive mine I got mine done I got mine done at Florida State and the other
One done at the University of Florida wait wait what do you mean not at Florida State FAMU if mu yeah so I went oh so we went to party oh you go to parties all up and down for this I went to the Kappa house had FAMU and this
Dude forgot his name name but yeah they had the brand out and people’s getting brands and I’m like I looked at my frat looked up the dude I can’t well man I’m the kid a branch who does she get it good he talked me into it
Not God I was like [ __ ] you gonna do the brand he was like no I’m good like and so you got the one on your chest the chest I got one on my hip I got one on my leg but I got tat on my arm and I got
Another tab on my chest and I’m about to get a tat – Connell I insulated where’s the sleeve or something yeah because being 40-something ain’t about to be walking around with a bunny rabbit no I got people white people coming up to me you
Were in the Navy no I want to know Dale maybe now I got to cover this up and put one of them Brahma bull would like to rock doing something I don’t know masculine something moaning [ __ ] bunny rabbit I can’t imagine I can’t imagine man the high jinks we did though
Oh my god really being being being been cuz we still in the fraternity it’s not like it goes away like we still go to meetings it goes away for white cars yeah with that that we know me like yeah then once they graduate they done with
It yeah we still paying money we still be serious we still doing God right community this community that throwing parties I got to go host a kapil event in Texas January 6 really yeah man that [ __ ] is huge it’s like a huge culture thing it’s like black bands marching
Bands you and the band till you die you ain’t going to practice every day but you talk about that band like it was a fraternity I was really man that’s I we don’t know how can it cannon did that movie drumline yeah I do it for million
Dollars it was a movie about the culture and he knew that yeah so he tapped into that you know why isn’t there a black fraternity movie they made a bunch of them but it’s a slippery slope because once you make the movie you’re also exposing how you doing what you’re doing
And we don’t want to do that you know I mean OC man cuz now people are doing it ain’t supposed to be doing it yeah so you don’t want to like make it too real and if it ain’t real people don’t want to see it it’s so funny the second you
Graduate like I’m still close with I’m in like a betting pool with my fraternity brothers hmm I see them when I go do shows but like the Brotherhood definitely dissipates once everyone leaves it kind of I think maybe maybe a little less for guys who still live in
Tampa still live in Orlando still live in Atlanta but it’s definitely dissipated for me where you just feel like you keep in touch but I don’t like I can’t imagine I mean if 80 I wanted to do something like the at Florida State when my special came
