Tapped Out

March 24, 2009 at 6:14 pm
UTB hears that Penn's senior societies have sent out their taps and will be hosting smokers for potential members this week. An inside source tells us that smokers are parties where tapped members of the class of '10 and current members of the societies can get to know each other, sorority-rush style. Friars hosted their smoker last night, with Mortar Board's tonight and Sphinx's coming up on Thursday. We assume that all the usual suspects in the junior class -- class board and UA bigshots, star athletes, Mask & Wig standouts, etc. -- were or will be in attendance. After this week, taps fill out applications (if tapped for multiple societies, they must pick one) and the exhaustive deliberation process begins. And then the real fun starts with initiation.
