Apollo the Phi Delt Dog Officially Initiated as PC ‘25; Graciously Agrees to Lick Vomit During Hazing Rituals

Maybe you’ve seen him peeing in the bushes on Locust Walk, or heard him barking from inside the frat house. It’s official: Apollo, the Phi Delt guard dog, has been initiated as PC ‘25 during COB, as he was a freshman spring transfer.  

Even more exciting, Apollo has volunteered to lick the vomit of other pledges during hazing rituals! His pledge brothers are very grateful, saying he is “the man.” Of course, he is a dog. Hazing is strictly forbidden at the University of Pennsylvania, so he will simply be taking part in non-harmful initiation acts. 

Some of these include pong (Apollo will fetch the ball), early morning wake-ups (he will bark at sleeping pledges and perhaps lick them), or forced drinking (Apollo prefers Busch over Natty Lite). It should be noted Apollo refused to elephant walk; Phi Delt supports this decision, abiding by PETA regulations.
