Hey all,
I'm not sure if this topic applies to non-collegiate teams...but what did your team do to you when you got onto the team? Any pranks? jokes? hazing (hopefully not)? partying? team ritual?
Reason why I ask? I'm just curious...I got onto my team late in the year and didn't really do...
yeah...there's so many to choose from!

Unfortunately, a friend and I had to catch an early flight so we couldn't stay out long enough for Malkit Singh to arrive...but even without him the afterparty was absolutely amazing! Music was awesome (extremely extremely loud...when certain songs came on I had to sit down cuz the bass was...
In response to Amrik,
Yes it's true...Thank you, Amrik. lol
Yes...it was a bit awkward wearing a patka on a raas team and being the only sardaar at both Raas Chaos and Garbafest...but it was awesome!
on a side note...our mixer at VIBC wasnt all too great (but still fun)...so what did our...
I guess there's no harm, right?
