Chapter 15 - Sorority property on loan

The following morning was Tuesday, exactly one week since Lisa and her 
companions started their internment in the Four-Beta sorority. The day would be 
significant for two other reasons. First, it was the day the pledges would begin 
going to the university to attend to their academic responsibilities. For brief 
periods of time, the pledges would get dressed and be allowed to see something 
besides the inside of the Four-Beta house. That day also was the day the Tri-
Alphas would initiate their six summer pledges. In the afternoon the pledges 
would watch Tri-Alpha pledges' medical exam and in the evening attend their 
swearing in ceremony.

Of course, before anything else there was morning PT. For the freshmen and 
sophomores the day's PT would be the lower-body workout. Tracy entered the 
pledge room, and as always, woke up her charges by shouting:

"OK sleeping beauties! UP!…UP!…UP! Let's go…let's go…let's go!"

While the pledges took turns at the toilet, Tracy unlocked their lockers to allow 
them access to their running uniforms. She announced that the pledges should 
take out an extra t-shirt and shorts along with their backpacks, because she 
planned to take them to the university orientation lecture and summer class 
registration immediately after breakfast.

Lisa would be the exception and would not accompany the others. Ruth Burnside 
had sent an e-mail to President Alexandra to inform her that Lisa needed to go to 
her office.

"Sergeant-at-Arms Heather will escort you, Pledge, while I take care of the 
others."

"Uh…thank you, ma'am."

The arrangement of going to the Economics Department with Heather did not 
thrill Lisa at all. Not only did she resent the humiliation of being escorted to her 
boss's office, but she also was concerned about the fact that the Sergeant-at-Arms 
had punished her the night before. If Heather and Burnside engaged in any 
conversation (which seemed very likely) it was certain the incident would be part 
of their discussion.

The pledges put on their shoes and carried their uniforms upstairs. As always, 
Tracy stood at the door and gave each pledge a sharp slap on the bare bottom as 
she went by. The swats were especially painful to Lisa and Cherine, who were 
still tender from the previous night's punishment.

Running with a bruised bottom was not pleasant, but the relief of getting outside 
and working off some stress put Lisa in a somewhat better mood. By the time the 
group returned to the sorority, stretched, jumped in the pool, and had breakfast, 
the four women had mostly forgotten the previous night's unpleasantness. The 
pledges picked up their clean uniforms and walking shoes before going upstairs to 
kneel in the sitting room.

Heather and Tracy entered the room. Tracy was holding four large plastic 
hangers, which she passed out to her group.

"OK. Here's the deal on your uniforms. As soon as you come in through that front 
door, the uniforms come off. If you're going back out later in the day, you'll put 
your clothes on the hanger and put 'em in the closet. There's gonna be one 
exception to the rule about taking off your clothes. If there's Triple-A pledges in 
the house you'll keep your uniforms on. Whenever they're here, those guys are 
subordinate to every female in the sorority, and that includes you."

Tracy pointed to a nightlight plugged in near the closet door.

"This nightlight will tell you if there's male pledges in the house. When it's on, 
there's pledges here and you'll keep your outfits on. When it's off, your uniforms 
come off. Real simple: on-on, off-off. Get it?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"The light's only for Triple-A pledges. If there's Triple-A's in the house but no 
pledges, the uniforms come off. Either way, just check the light when you come 
in."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Another detail. Classes and going out in public. Pledge Bernadette, please read 
what's on your shirt."

"PLEDGE. This pledge is property of the Four-Beta Sorority. If found unescorted, 
please return to rightful owner."

"Remember, until you swear in as full members, you are property of the sorority. 
You have no rights, except the privileges we chose to give you. You have no 
independence and no freedom. You'll be under our complete control, even when 
you're on campus. Under no circumstances can you get out of our sight, which 
means whenever you're not in the house you must have an escort. You're gonna 
have to take your general requirement classes together and we'll set up a duty 
roster for the sophomores to escort you to and from class. Pledge Lisa's situation 
will be a bit different, because she's got a job with the Economics Department. 
But, we've already talked with her professor and we've got everything arranged."

Lisa took a deep breath. They've "got everything arranged". What's that supposed 
to mean?

Tracy continued: "Remember your handcuffs and blindfolds? You'll have those 
with you for a reason. If you disobey your escort or get out of her sight, she'll cuff 
you and bring you back to the sorority house. If that ever happens you can expect 
to have a VERY miserable night. When you're on campus the only words that 
ever need to come out of your mouth are 'yes ma'am'. Get it?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"OK, you now know what's expected when you're on campus. If you want to 
save your butts, you'd better remember what's written on your shirts."

"Yes, ma'am."

"PLEDGES! STAND UP!"

The pledges scrambled to their feet.

"OK, get your uniforms on and stick your hangers in the closet. Get ready to 
move out."

"Yes, ma'am."

----------

Heather, Tracy, and the four pledges walked to the university. The two officers 
were wearing Four-Beta logos on their shirts, while the pledges walked behind in 
their pledge outfits. Fortunately the presence of the two severe-looking sorority 
officers silenced many of the giggles and comments the pledge uniform might 
have elicited from passers-by, but still, the message on the shirts was totally 
humiliating: 

This pledge is property of the Four-Beta Sorority… 

Tracy took the three freshmen to the campus auditorium to attend an orientation 
lecture for first year students given by the president of the university. From there 
they would go to the main gym to pick up their class schedules and from there go 
to the student bookstore to buy textbooks. Meanwhile, Lisa would spend her first 
day at work in Burnside's office.

Heather escorted Lisa to the Economics Department. Once in the building Lisa 
saw several classmates from her freshman year. Saying hello to them was hard, 
given what was written on her t-shirt and that she clearly was being escorted by 
Heather. The two women went into Burnside's office, where the professor already 
was waiting for them. Burnside shook Heather's hand and greeted her in a manner 
that indicated the two women already knew each other. The professor's bemused 
and rather sarcastic expression was not re-assuring at all.

"Good morning, Pledge Lisa."

"Good morning, Dr. Burnside."

Heather took out an envelope containing two copies of a contract on Four-Beta 
letterhead. She passed the documents to the professor, who looked them over. 
Burnside signed both copies.

"Pledge Lisa, please kneel and read this contract. If you want to continue working 
for me and also pledge the sorority at the same time you need to concur with this 
agreement."

"You…you want me to kneel, Dr. Burnside?"

"Pledge, you're not supposed to be questioning orders. I told you to kneel. Now 
do it."

Lisa's heart sank as she reluctantly got on her knees. Burnside handed her the two 
copies along with a pen. Lisa read:

The directorate of the Chicago chapter of the Four-Beta Sorority agrees to share 
provisional training custody of Pledge Lisa Campbell with Professor Dr. Ruth 
Burnside during university summer work hours. This shared provisional custody 
will allow Pledge Lisa Campbell to fulfill her responsibilities as a pledge to the 
Four-Beta Sorority, while simultaneously fulfilling her duties as a student aide for 
the Department of Economic Studies.

This agreement authorizes Dr. Burnside to act in capacity of Pledge Lisa 
Campbell's campus escort and grants Dr. Burnside the same authority over her as 
the authority normally exercised by the Four-Beta Sorority's Sergeant-at-Arms. 
As a result of this agreement, Dr. Burnside will submit a written summary of 
Pledge Lisa Campbell's daily activities to the Pledge Mistress of the Four-Beta 
Sorority for entry in the official pledge training log. Because Dr. Burnside is 
acting in official capacity on behalf of the sorority, her authority includes, but is 
not limited to, the right to inflict corporal punishment on Pledge Lisa Campbell 
for any violations of Four-Beta pledging protocol.

This agreement obliges Pledge Lisa Campbell to treat Dr. Burnside with the same 
deference and respect as she is expected to treat any elected officer of the Four-
Beta Sorority and accept her as a campus escort. Specifically this means that 
Pledge Lisa Campbell agrees to obey any orders issued by Dr. Burnside and to 
stay within her sight at all times. Pledge Lisa Campbell agrees that Dr. Burnside, 
by acting as a campus escort, reserves the right to discipline her within the 
guidelines of the Four-Beta pledging program. She also agrees that whenever she 
is in Dr. Burnside's office or private residence, the regulations concerning the 
Four-Beta pledge uniform will be enforced.

Under this agreement, at the request of Dr. Burnside, Pledge Lisa Campbell will 
address her as "Dr. Burnside" and not address her as "ma'am", as normally 
stipulated in the Four-Beta Pledge Handbook.

Pledge Lisa Campbell reserves the right to report any perceived misuse of 
authority by Dr. Burnside to the Pledge Mistress of her Four-Beta Sorority 
chapter. The complaint will be forwarded to the chapter president for resolution. 
Any command or disciplinary incident determined by the Chapter President not to 
fall within the guidelines of the Four-Beta Pledge Manuel will result in the 
immediate termination of this agreement. 

If the president of the Sorority determines Pledge Lisa Campbell's complaint is 
without merit, a report will be forwarded to Dr. Burnside with a formal apology. 
Pledge Lisa Campbell will then present herself to Dr. Burnside for corporal 
punishment.

Unless violated, this agreement remains in effect until Pledge Lisa Campbell 
becomes a member-in-full-standing of the Four-Beta Sorority. Upon swearing in, 
Lisa Campbell's current status as sorority property will be terminated and she will 
regain full rights guaranteed to her under the Constitution of the United States of 
America.

Lisa's hands shook as she finished reading. Several questions ran through her 
mind, not the least of which was what would be "the pledge uniform" when she 
was alone with Burnside in her office. Was it possible...?

Burnside handed Lisa a pen. The student took a deep breath and reluctantly signed 
the agreement. She had no choice, because she needed the job for her future and 
still wanted to join the sorority. Still, she felt she had just signed her life away. It 
was for sure she had just signed away her dignity. As for that pressing question on 
her mind, the one about the pledge uniform; that was answered when Heather 
took a hanger out of her backpack and handed it to the professor.

"On school days we have the pledges keep their uniforms near the front door on 
these hangers. I brought you an extra, just in case you didn't have one."

"And so, they only put on their uniforms if they go out?"

"That is correct, Dr. Burnside. Just when they go out."

"OK, I wanted to make sure about that. From my end there won't be a problem. 
She'll be working at this extra desk here in the back office. Nobody comes back 
here unless I buzz them in, so it's fairly private."

Burnside turned to Lisa.

"Stand up, Pledge."

"Yes, Dr. Burnside."

"Alright, Pledge, you know the score. Get your clothes off and put them on the 
hanger."

Lisa swallowed. Very reluctantly she kicked off her shoes and pulled off her 
socks. She took a deep breath and lowered her shorts and stepped out of them. 
She folded them over the bar of the hanger. She pulled her shirt over her head and 
hung it on the hanger as well. She handed her clothes to Burnside and went back 
on her knees. Burnside put the hanger in the office closet along with the shoes and 
locked the door.

Lisa felt horribly exposed as she knelt completely naked in Burnside's office. She 
couldn't understand why she felt so ashamed, given that Burnside already had 
seen her nude several times over the past year. The professor and Heather did 
nothing to put her at ease as they casually talked about the four pledges, their 
progress, implements used for corporal punishment, and the program in general. 

As Lisa had feared, the conversation turned to the previous night's strapping and 
push-up session. Heather described the evening in detail, focusing on Lisa's 
rebellious behavior and her disgraceful refusal to stay in the front-leaning rest 
position.

"The other two pledges seemed to hold their positions just fine, but Pledge Lisa 
kept moving around. To be honest I lost count of how many times I had to smack 
her, but she just wouldn't go down or straighten her back."

In a matter-of-fact tone of voice, the professor asked the sorority Sergeant-at-
Arms to describe the strap. She seemed satisfied with Heather's choice of 
implement.

"Let's see how well your strap marks." She turned to Lisa: "Pledge, stand up, turn 
your back toward us, and place your hands on the desk."

"Yes, Dr. Burnside."

Lisa complied as her professor and the sorority officer carefully examined the 
marks on her bottom. Both women ran their hands over her skin and commented 
that the bruising wasn't too bad. Heather concluded with:

"I don't know about this pledge, Dr. Burnside. She's so strong-willed. She's taken 
three punishments in just a week, and that doesn't seem to have calmed her down 
at all."

"Some pledges take longer to break than others. Just keep doing what you're 
doing. I'm sure she'll come around eventually. Anyhow, I'll make sure she 
behaves properly whenever she's with me. She knows what to expect if she 
doesn't."

Burnside concluded by patting Lisa's bare bottom. The professor then asked 
Heather if she wanted some tea, to which she replied yes. Burnside told Lisa to 
take out some cups and boil a pot of water, and then kneel pending further orders. 
Ordinarily Burnside would not have ordered a student aide (with the exception of 
Mark, whose situation was special) to serve her tea. The work relationship 
between the two women would have been limited to what was in Lisa's university 
contract and fairly normal, with the exception of the ongoing threat of punishment 
if Lisa did not meet Burnside's academic standards.

Lisa got up to prepare the tea, completely dumbfounded at the extent to which the 
other two women were humiliating her. What totally changed Burnside's behavior 
towards Lisa was the contract with the sorority. The purpose of that contract was 
to give the professor the same rights over her that the sorority officers enjoyed. It 
was obvious that Burnside's intention was to treat her like a Four-Beta pledge, not 
a university employee. The moment she signed that contract, Lisa went from 
being Burnside's employee to being sorority property on loan. As sorority 
property, her submission would have to be total and unquestioning.

What was frightening was that Burnside would clearly enjoy having the chance to 
totally dominate Lisa. She now had extra justification to punish the student if she 
made any mistakes either with her pledge duties or her student aide duties. Apart 
from the domination there was another concern. Lisa knew that Burnside was 
bisexual and enjoyed looking at young women. Having an attractive naked 
student working in her office for the entire summer would be a real treat; 
especially one formally obligated to do anything she was told to do. 

Unfortunately Lisa had no argument against her situation, because she knew that 
morally she was no better than the professor. Placed in Burnside's situation, she 
would have done the exact same thing. Had any of her fellow pledges been placed 
under her control, Lisa would have treated them in a manner similar to the way 
Burnside was about to treat her. The professor knew that, and undoubtedly 
Heather must have known it as well. Both were sure to jump on her for being a 
hypocrite if she dared say anything.

Lisa continued to kneel while the other two women drank their tea and discussed 
a recent academic cheating scandal involving a rival sorority. As she stayed quiet, 
Lisa became more agitated, because on top of everything else, now she was 
becoming aroused. Suddenly the thought of being naked and submissive to 
Burnside for the entire summer seemed very erotic to her. She knew that she 
would be scared and embarrassed whenever she was in Burnside's office, but 
there was something very sexy about her nakedness, submission, and fear. She 
wondered if what she was feeling was what her boyfriend Ken felt when she was 
about to punish him.

The exhibitionist in Lisa's personality surfaced. She would be working naked, 
which was something many people fantasize about doing, but almost never 
happens in modern society. She would be living a fantasy, sitting at her 
workstation for hours each day in the nude. That was something she actually had 
wanted to do. Well, now she would know what it would be like to hold down a 
job while not allowed to wear any clothing.

As she continued to kneel in front of her two superiors in the professor's office, 
Lisa's thoughts about her situation changed somewhat. She knew that she was 
about to undergo the most intense summer of her life. Years later she would look 
back at the pledging period as the most erotic experience of her youth, something 
she wouldn't exchange for anything.

----------

Upon finishing her tea Heather left. Burnside ordered Lisa off her knees to clean 
up the dishes. She put everything on a tray and set the tray near the door to take 
out later. As she moved about with the teacups, the student felt the professor's 
eyes studying her body.

For the rest of the morning Burnside instructed Lisa about her requirements for 
grading and proctoring tests and class assignments. The professor also began 
teaching her assistant about websites used by students to obtain plagiarized term 
papers. Some of the sites were free and some of them charged, but all of them 
came with a guarantee. If any of Burnside's students downloaded and used their 
material, they were sure to be caught by the professor. Lisa found the websites 
and her newly acquired knowledge about academic plagiarism fascinating. As she 
went through the posted research projects, she momentarily totally forgot that she 
was sitting naked next to her well-dressed instructor.

At noon they stopped. The professor commented:

"Put on your uniform and we'll go out for lunch."

"Yes, Dr. Burnside."

As Lisa got dressed, Burnside called her co-worker Jim Halsey to join them. A 
minute later Halsey showed up with two of his Ph.D. candidates. The older 
students looked at the message on Lisa's t-shirt and smiled sarcastically, which 
ruined her mood. 

This pledge is property of the Four-Beta Sorority…

Fucking shirt, she thought to herself. I'd rather go out naked than have to wear 
this idiotic logo.

After eating lunch off-campus, Burnside escorted Lisa back to her office. Lisa 
quietly took off her clothing and returned it to its hanger in the closet. However, 
no sooner had she sat down to review the textbooks for Burnside's summer 
classes than Tracy showed up with the three freshmen. The three younger women 
quickly knelt while Tracy talked to Burnside. As soon as the pledge mistress went 
into the back room where Lisa was sitting, she immediately jumped out of her 
seat and went to her knees.

"PLEGDE! STAND UP!"

Lisa scrambled to her feet. Burnside released her employee for the day, but told 
Tracy she wanted her back in the office at 10:00 the next morning.

"OK, Dr. Burnside. I'll make sure she's here at 10:00."

While the others watched, Lisa put on her uniform. Once she was dressed, she 
knelt with her fellow pledges as they waited to be escorted back to the sorority.
