As I lay in my own bed, all I could think to myself is "Damn, finally a night off."

My name is Kavon and I've been on-line, pledging Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Incorporated for the past five weeks. The past few weeks had been hell and there didn't seem to be an end in sight...I was ready for the Spring semester to end... I'd recently begun to consider dropping, having second thoughts overall on if this shit was for me in the first place. My older brother Davion had pledged this fraternity and chapter three years ago though - if my older brother had what it took to become a man of Iota.

Tonight, the big brothers that had been running our pledge process had decided that me and my two line brothers deserved a night off. I couldn't agree more with them - we'd been going so hard, studying and maintaining our focus during the nights and putting in work in the basement of my Dean's townhouse at night to do what was necessary to become members of this fraternity.

My line brothers (Ade, the ace of our line and Bruce, the tail of our line) and I had been spending almost every waking moment with each other, making sure we handled our business. Not that we had a choice in the matter - it was customary for line brothers to make sure they were always together in case we were given a test or a task - it was just easier to be together so Bruce's apartment had become our "spot". It was easy to say that we all truly needed at least one night apart.

I was more than excited to retreat to my dorm room and chill. I was the only one that stayed on campus, so this was my first time in weeks returning to the sophomore residence hall that I was paying to live in. When I got back to my dorm room, I decided to take a warm shower by myself and take the opportunity to wash a load of clothes. Things I'd taken for granted before I'd started pledging.

When I was done, I got out of the shower, I looked at myself in the mirror, pleased at my reflection. I gotta admit, the intense physical exercise that had come with pledging and not being able to eat junk food had done my body some good. I was more cut up and I had some slight muscle definition. I'm sure I'd better results if I was in the gym sticking to an actual regiment, but I wasn't mad at how my body was handling this pledge process.

After snapping a few thirst traps pics (using my underwear to cover my dick), I put on some sweat and I left the backroom, retreating to my bed. I sent the pics to all my old hoes (Normani, Nia and Aisha) on snapchat to remind them what they were missing out. They all instantly hit me up, asking if I wanted to come through and fuck. I smiled to myself, choosing to not reply. Fuck them. I was saving this dick for someone who deserved it.

I looked at the time on my phone -  it was 6PM and all I could do was relax in bed. I was so fatigued from being "on the go" the past few weeks that I didn't even have the energy to make use of this free time. My line brothers had bragged about using this time to get caught up on homework and sneaking in time to get with some females but my mind wasn't even there. I just wanted to chill, and maybe catch up with Omar.
