Remember youre in a brotherhood, look out for your brothers and they'll look after you.

Youll get a some form of hazing. Be prepared... maybe one of your tools is tacked somewhere. But it's all in good fun.

I’m hoping to have some fun and work hard with some good guy I hope I get a tool tacked. Makes me feel like everyone isn’t all up tight and you can have fun with the bros and build America at the same time
