Reply #9: We had this at my high school . It was called " Grip Week" [View All]

It was always homecoming week that it was called "Freshmen Grip Week" - I remember hearing stories from the upperclassmen and even though I was a female (they did'nt do anything to the girls,only the freshmen boys)I was scared as hell. But when homecoming week came - it was so bad for all the freshmen. I remember one boy named Lance was put into a trashcan by some upperclassmen several times that week. And then that Thursday at band practice (the day before homecoming) all hell broke loose -I remember the upperclassmen boys tore all the freshman boys apart. We were in the band room and all of a sudden the lights went off and someone yelled "Grip Time" (I don't know where our band director was)I saw all these guys get pommeled and chased. Instruments flew everywhere. I went outside and saw them chasing the guys for mercy and one guy got really hurt. It was so bad.
