The Blackout Boys are a tight-knit crew of pimp-ass playas who met at Northern Illinois University (NIU) through the bonds of the Illinois Gamma chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ΣAE). It all commenced in the fall of 1999 with the Delta Class - arguably the best pledge class in the history of Illinois Gamma - with cK, Obed, Zubal, Reiner and Mr. Bill at the forefront. Ali, Delaney, and Samp linked up a year later as the top-dogs of the Zeta Class. The entourage became complete when Pat and Kartik rolled thru the Theta Class another year later.

Mothers adore them, fathers brag about them, girls want them, and other guys want to be them. The Blackout Boys - you think you know, but we have no idea what the hell happened last night.
