Draft:The Brotherhood (Taylor University)

The Brotherhood commonly referred to as BroHo, is the name of the third floor of the male dorm Samuel Morris Hall (commonly called Sammy ) at Taylor University. . Members of The Brotherhood are known for their rituals, shenanigans and secrecy, making sources hard to come by, except through word of mouth. They are also well-known for their tight knit community and the brotherhood they share. There is a video describing the history of The Brotherhood in great detail. Originally The Brotherhood was in Swallow Robin Hall (commonly called just Swallow or Robin) at Taylor University, but eventually made its way to the third floor of Samuel Morris Hall where it is today. Since Taylor University does not have fraternities and sororities or any Greek life, floor or wing culture takes its place. Each of the floors is known for having their own distinct culture and traditions. Men that live in Samuel Morris Hall are sometimes called "Sammy Boys", "Sammy Guys" or "Men of Morris".

Leadership
The floor is led by The Triumvirate consisting of The Pope, The Snake and The Phubs. The members are selected at towards the beginning of the school year if the previous person in that position has either graduated or left the floor. They “serve as the figureheads on our floor, so we do stuff to lead the floor, there’s a lot of secret stuff but other things like helping with Jericho week and the Boxer run”.

The Pope
"Stands on a middle ground" and mediates between other members of The Triumvirate . The Pope "is responsible for making sure all of the traditions happen. He is also the 'atoner to campus,' asking for forgiveness for the sins of the Brotherhood.  At the beginning of the year, letters were posted around campus with a forewarning and an apology for whatever the floor would do this year".

The Snake
Described as "more reserved". Is known for giving loud speeches in the Hodson Dining Commons at Taylor University. The speech is initiated by something like this: "(pounding rhythmically on tables), The Snake! (pounding rhythmically on tables), The Snake!  ay!  Everybody loves The Snake!  ay!  Everybody loves The Snake!  ay!  Speech!", then everyone goes quiet and The Snake, who is standing on a table, gives his speech. The position has been around since around 2012, making it much newer than other positions.

The Phubs
Also referred to as Phubs with a 'b' for the Phubs number they are currently on (11). The current Phubs can be called "Phubbbbbbbbbbbs" or "Phu11bs". They are described as "more irresponsible and chaotic". The Phubs is the oldest leadership role on The Brotherhood. ''The word Phubs was originally Fubs and technically means 'a plump young person or child,' but it wasn't used in that context. The F became a Ph because it looked more 'regal.' " . Phu11bs is currently one of the hosts of The BroHo Variety Hour  .  Some people at Taylor University do not even know The Phubs' real name .  "The role of Phubs is to be the maker of mischief, King of Samuel Morris Hall and chief includer. The Phubs has a lot of flexibility in the role, as each Phubs is able to make the role what they want it to be" . Previous Phubs said "it's kind of cool because everyone knows me, so it opens up a door for me to meet other people".
