"Hot nuts" being where the pledges dip their testicles in a bowl of Tabasco sauce and have to run--most of them in tears--to another point on campus where there is a bowl of soothing milk to end the pain. And then go back and do it again, until their brothers tell them they are finished.

And "elephant walk" being that the pledges stand in a line holding each others genitals and walk across campus.

Now, I understand that much of the tasks given to the pledges are made to embarrass and build trust amongst the brothers. However, it somewhat confuses me that a frat would use such homoerotic tasks. I am in no way trying to stereotype or say that fraternities are against homosexuality, but I don't understand why so much emphasis would be put on blatant sexual innuendo.
