PICS: Yale Secret Society Pre-Tap Night

As we write, the Yale ghosts and ghoulies are coming out to play, caped and masked, in a desperate attempt to lock down their taps in the Junior Class. By the end of tonight’s pre-tap, each society’s roster will, ideally, be set; a week or so from now, during Tap Night itself, the select few will ascend to their chosen society’s ranks. We’re not going to reprint names or selections, but to whet your appetites, here’s a couple of our own grainy pictures as well as a few courtesy of the beloved Bullblog:

More pics (and Punditry) after the jump:

And, for those curious: The pre-taps for Yale’s hell-and-humor-raising prank society, the Pundits, have been forced to wear lifejackets 24-hours-a-day for the past week (last year it was headlamps):

    Don’t forget, it’s not OK to print the names of people who are forced to solicit condoms from strangers in Bass Library as part of “initiation,” but it’s OK to print stolen photographs of Cornell students engaging in normal social behavior (drinking, sitting on couches), because “OMG THATS HAZING THINK OF THE CHILDREN THE CHILDREN.” Conclusion: AK is indeed a self-serving douche.

    Why is it that everyday you guy come on here to bash Klein. Yes maybe he didn’t print names so that he can still be tapped (and sorry AK thats kinda douchey) but can’t you just revel at the secrets revealed. I doubt any of us has seen something like this before or atleast so publically.

    “disrespectful of tradition” – wow didn’t know tapping silliness should be afforded the same respect as religious events and civic ceremonies.

    AK didn’t need to post names; if you go to Yale (and if you don’t, why do you care?), it’s disappointingly obvious who these people are.
