"The Brotherhood"
Shane's Brotherhood (The Cult)
RC group at Wake Forest known for TOO MUCH HYPE.
This group was led by Shane Reagan, who had the blood and soul of TIP in his veins. He proved dominance as his first year as RC with, "Some of the best cult-like spirit I've seen in years..." said by Callie, the OSD.

RAG Rivalries
- The Brotherhood had rivalries with Josh's and Hunter's RAGs because they both claimed that they were superior. Since The Brotherhood started their hype on Day 1, it started to foment competition with Josh's and Hunter's boys, who knew which rag was really the best.
- "J-Money and the Dollas" claimed they were better than us at TIP Sync. They worked up smack talk because The Brotherhood opened with a killer TIP Sync performance (to my ears, maybe). Neither team won, but The Brotherhood put slightly more commitment into TIP Sync while J-Money lied down on the stage in PJs. (Grammar, please)
- "The Turtles" said something similar when Hunter beat Shane in the Miss TIP competition at the talent show with a performance that was far superior to Shane's.
Interesting Events
War on the last night
- This was a "war" with Jay vs. Juhno, Phillip, Kyle, and Grayson.
- Febreeze and bug spray were the main weapons.
- This occurred after lights out.
- The boys in the war would run to each others doors knock, then when the person in the room opened, they would be sprayed with either Febreeze or bug spray.
- Grayson's team won.
TIP Sync
- The Brotherhood performed the song the Treblemakers performed at the finals in Pitch Perfect.
- They did amazing and were robbed of the win.
- They should have got first place, but instead they lost.
- The judges were bribed.
- It was rigged but not as much as the carnival.
The Carnival
- The carnival was held on the first Saturday of TIP.
- There were many games from which you could win tickets, including an obstacle course and a Frisbee Toss.
- There were numerous prizes, with one being a trip to Walmart.
- Of course, The Brotherhood always runs into bad luck (see TIP Sync)... "Luck is merely an illusion, trusted by the ignorant and chased by the foolish." Timothy Zahn
- So we reached the required amount of tickets and went to get a Walmart trip.
- Only the Walmart trip was taken, so we spent our tickets on a Wii night and candy, but...
- Right when we paid, a 2nd Walmart trip opened up for grabs.
- Long story short: The Brotherhood was robbed of a trip to Walmart and despite the effort to get it back, we settled on a Wii night.
- We wouldn't have gotten any pop tarts from Walmart in the first place because Hunter's Turtles took the entire aisle of pop tarts.
- Overall, the Wii night was fun, but The Brotherhood wanted that aisle of pop tarts, but they just weren't fast enough.
OTPs
- Logan and Emma (Too nervous to even talk to each other at the dance)
- Phillip and Scarlett (Scillip is everywhere now)
- Aaditya and Esther (eh... they danced once or twice at the last dance)
- Jay and Ella (unofficial)
The WiFi
TTPsters in Wake Forest were greeted to their worst nightmare when they arrived at Wake Forest: the staff wouldn't give them the WiFi password. (We didn't give you the WiFi password because A: you don't need it - socialize with fellow TIPsters, and B: it would have slowed down the network which the staff NEEDS.) And out of every RC group, Shane's was the only RAG to have figured out (it's not really figuring it out if your instructors tell you the password, though) the username and password, via Eddy and Sam.
Magfest
On Magfest Day, Team Green claimed they would beat Grellow. They said they would cream us so hard, they would leave us crying. These "teasers" were mostly from Josh's RAG, so The Brotherhood knew they needed to prove dominance. In fact, there was an unplanned "cheer-off" in the middle of Magfest in which Grellow and Green yelled in each other's faces. Grwen was onviously superior,so they won spirit, the only part that actually mattered. At the end of Magfest, it turned out that Green and Grellow had tied, for the first time in Wake Forest history. It was announced that a trivia challenge that night would determine the winner. Team Grellow studied and studied... They knew they could win this if they gave it 100%, and they did. Team Grellow beat Green by 4400 points in trivia. The Final Score: 5500-1100
Conspiracy Theories
These were all made by Jay, whose superlative was "Most likely to make up crazy conspiracy theories in the shower."
- What if our nipples were the eyes of our chest and our eyes were the nipples of our face?
- What if aliens live in Wyoming but no one knows, because almost no one lives in Wyoming?
- What if Medusa lives in Alaska and is killing off kids, but no one knows because Alaska is so isolated and very few people live there?
- What if air is poisonous but takes about 80 years to kill us?
