BETA PLEDGES DITCH DAY SPRING 1967

Ditch day was a beloved Pledge Brothers' tradition in the Phi Delta Psi Fraternity. Here the six Pledges of Spring 1967 announce their organized rebellion from their Pledge jobs, by presenting the Ditch Day skin to be placed in the Fraternity house (without getting caught) Often Ditch Day was accompanied by the kidnapping of favorite active members.
