Hounds were the "trainers/advisors" for the Fish Drilll Team (FDT). They were known as that during the 90's (not sure when the title began). There were 7 of them, sophomores.
There were also two junior advisors that were elevated from the hound ranks each year. They were known as pigs I believe.
There was one senior advisor that had been one of the junior advisors from the year before and he was known as the Lone Star.
In the '96-97 school year the FDT was disbanded and all of the hounds were kicked out of the corps for extensive/excessive hazing. When it came out what all they had been doing Van Alstyne (sp) gave them a few hours to pack their things and get off the quad. It was several years before the FDT was reinstated again (sometime after I was out of the Corps in spring '99).
One of the hounds from that year had already lost his position due to "financial hazing" (he had sent one of the freshman to pick up and pay for his dry cleaning or something). So due to him having already been kicked out of his advisor position, when they brought the hammer down on the rest of the hounds later that year, he inadvertently avoided getting kicked out of the Corps like the others. Interesting little twist of fate.
And yeah....Posky was a smaller guy. The guy that got to stay in was big, blonde, and in the regiment....but I can't for the life of me remember his name. I remember Posky, the Hoffman brothers, seems like Kyle Judd, and that's about it.
