First American college fraternity to...

First American college fraternity...

Breathe. Breathe, number 4.

First American college fraternity

organized...

Relax. Relax. Go.

Phi beta kappa,

first American college fraternity

organized at the college

of William and Mary in 1776!

I can't hear you, bro. Louder!

Men and women are members

of this honorary scholarship society!

Is it me or are you talking like a girl,

number 4?

Black fraternities play a major

role in the cultural, structural

and civic life of their communities, sir!

- Are you better than me, number 4?

- No, big brother, sir!

Then why are you talking

to Dean Richardson, huh?

- No GDI talks to the Dean!

- Yes, big brother, sir!

Ain't no room for ego in here.

Nigga, is you dumb or is you deaf?

Get your ignorant ass out of here, bro.

- Hell you smiling at, number 3?

- Nothing, big brother, sir!

- Your daddy was a lambda.

- Yes, big brother, sir!

Yep.

Yep.

Bring me the wood.

Leadership, scholarship,

compassion, brotherhood!

Leadership, scholarship,

compassion, brotherhood!

I wanna be a lambda, big brother, sir!

Eat that sh*t. You wanna be a lambda, huh?

Huh?

Don't wince!

You eat that sh*t.

Stop moving your chin.

Don't touch my hand.

You wanna be a lambda, huh?

You blocking me?

I am the Dean of pledges.

This is my line and every bruise

above the neck leads to suspicion.

You want me to rip that f***ing brand off

your chest? Get the f*** out of my way.

Get back in line.

Pop out, number 1.

Find out what just any people

will quietly submit to...

And you have found out

the exact measure of injustice

and wrong which will be imposed

upon them...

And these will continue

until they are resisted

with either words or...

With blows or with both.

F***, my ass hurt.

Check him for hemorrhoids.

I said my ass,

not my a**hole, clown. Shut up.

I'm serious.

Hemorrhoids ain't no joke.

People get them all the time.

Let me get some of that water.
