I was a sophomore at the University of Illinois in the fall of 1971. I went to school early at the end of the summer to become an “Illini Guide” – an upperclassman who would assist the incoming freshman with the how’s, why’s, where’s, and who’s regarding college life. I met several other Illini Guides,, of which 4 of them INTRODUCED me to The TURTLE CLUB! Of course this was during a study-drinking event, but ever since then I have known the answer: YBYSAIA!

I was having a band party at my place in college, and a few of my fraternity brothers came along. An older brother and I had been drinking and talking for a bit when he mentioned the club to me. He took me aside and made me into a Turtle alongside two of my roommates. One of my favorite memories from college!

I remember being told you have four riddles to solve and every time you get it wrong you have to take a shot. I got sooooo drunk that night. But eventually I got the riddles right and became a Turtle.

I became a Turtle after an initiation by Bill Peters in 1975. Bill was a former next door neighbor and an FBI agent. He asked me one evening while we were at dinner if I was a Turtle. Of course I had no idea what he was talking about. He proceeded to ask me the initiation questions, related the story of the necessary response, and provided me my membership card.

Both my grandparents were members of the turtle club my grandma had spoken to me about becoming a member of it back in the 90’s ,I would be honored to become a member on behalf of my grand parents I want to say it was back in 89- to early 90’s that they had jokes with other members during the evening and they would sit around laughing with there drinks joking around for hours

Attending a business seminar at a local motel conference room the group was waiting for the main speaker. During the wait one of the attendees stood up, took the microphone and gave the group (including me) the four required riddles. After submitting our mailing address we were new members of Turtles Organization. Within three weeks I received my coveted membership card. This was in the year of 1973. Hopefully I have been a loyal Turtle ever since.
