Strip Relay

About

The Strip Relay is a rumored annual inter-house party tradition rotating across the seven Orders and Societies mansions on Elysian Road. Its existence is not officially acknowledged by any of the organizations. The event hosted by the Astraea Society during the events of Making the Grades: Kelly's Unveiling is the most fully documented instance in SSU canon.

Format

The Strip Relay is a multi-station party in which guests move between themed game tables, each with its own rules and stakes. Clothing is the primary currency. Known stations from the Astraea Society event include Strip Beer Pong, Strip Cup, Strip Throat, Stripping Doubles, and a Dancefloor. Each station is run by designated hosts.

The event operates under strict conduct rules enforced by Party Ambassadors and hired security. At the Astraea Society event, three members of the Verdant Vigilant Vanguards were hired: one at the door, two circulating inside.

The Astraea Society Strip Relay

The Strip Relay documented in Making the Grades: Kelly's Unveiling Book Two was organized by Bridgette Hutchinson at Astraea House and served a dual purpose: a legitimate inter-house social event and a deliberate act of support for Kelly Spaihts following her Strawbridge streak punishment.

Organization

Party Ambassadors Cassandra Blake, Bethany, and Elisha co-organized the event. Bethany served as formal announcer and managed the NDA and phone lockup policy at the door. The Verdant Vigilant Vanguards handled security. Alcohol was actively managed and limited throughout the night.

Known stations

Strip Beer Pong — hosted by Mitchell Greene at a dedicated table
Strip Cup — hosted by Marcus Banks at a dedicated table
Strip Throat — a deep-throat distance competition using a 12-inch dildo; Tiffany Crowly of the Eirene Society held the record until Bridgette Hutchinson dethroned her; Philip Reynolds competed and placed second at seven inches
Stripping Doubles — designed by Bethany; format not fully detailed in canon
Dancefloor — general dancing area

Notable events

Bridgette Hutchinson won Strip Throat with the full 12 inches, dethroning Tiffany Crowly's standing record. She subsequently spanked Kelly Spaihts at the party, an act that formalized the D/s dynamic developing between them. Philip Reynolds hit on Cassandra Blake, an advance shut down by her boyfriend Trevor. Mark Rogers attempted to pull Kelly to the basement; she refused him, the first time she had genuinely felt no pull toward him.

Bridgette got too drunk later in the evening. Cassie was the first to act.
