8. Blood is Thicker Than Mud

Complete story — includes the ending

Will and Carlton pledge Phi Beta Gamma, a black fraternity whose president Top Dog ( Glenn Plummer ) is a friend of Will's. They are given various chores as a form of hazing as part of their initiation, and Carlton is subjected to more difficult hazing (for instance bathing a full-grown St. Bernard, while Will and the other pledges groom Poodle Puppies) due to Top Dog's personal prejudice against Carlton and his wealthy family, since he equates being black with being working class and from the 'hood. Carlton accepts his hazing silently, earning the respect of many members, but Top Dog still denies membership to him while accepting Will. Carlton then tells him off for his prejudice and hypocrisy, Will leaves, and Top Dog's right-hand man kicks him out for his biased attitude. When Phil is told about what happened, he wonders how being wealthy, something he worked for, is equated to being hated by their own kind.
