Another great share from the network. This “forbidden staircase” is located atop of Pershing Barracks and it provides access to the cadet sun deck. This staircase is much more precarious, with ladder-like qualities and virtually no safety features, but bros got to be golden for spring break. The austere characteristics of this staircase are somewhat offset by the gargoyles and the views. Regardless of its basic features, this staircase achieves a 7 on the WPSS, for providing inspiration for legendary spirit missions, as well as a sunburn or two.

This staircase leads to the entrance at the south end of Pershing Barracks, and it provides an excellent example of an L-shaped or quarter-turn staircase. The stairs and the stonework on both sides of this staircase blend in seamlessly with the Gothic Revival architecture of the building. The window under the landing is a prominent design feature that makes this staircase unique and the ironwork on both sides of this staircase is also striking. According to OG lore, this door used to remain locked at all times and at night plebes would sneak out of the window on one side of the staircase, traverse the landing at the top of these stairs, and climb back into the window on the other side of the staircase to avoid using the hallway and the risk of hazing from upperclassmen. This staircase earns an 8 on the WPSS for its unique design features, notable memories, and for providing a platform for plebe follies.

After multiple opinions on the diagnosis, looks like you’ve got a bad case of the storm. No shortage of predators during the breakfast run. 🌊🦅🌪️

Heading out to try my hand at surfing again with @ms_lisa_o . I’m 86.4% sure a shark - or this kraken that is apparently lurking about - is gonna get me. I love all of you. Remember me well, friends. .
