Thanks for the link. It really looks great!!

Back when I was at UA we actually used Marr’s Spring as a way to keep overbearing actives in line while pledging. Pledges pretty much had to take whatever was dished out. The one recourse was the pit. Once in a while an active would really be an ass and the pledges were allowed to throw him in the pit (with a few ground rules) to make him realize he needed to back off a bit. If he kept being an ass they could throw him back in again and as many times as necessary until he learned he needed to tone things down a bit.

My pledge class only threw one guy in (twice). Of course I was never a jerk to other pledge classes so I never got tossed in myself :-).
