Southern Pines Hash House Harriers
Southern Pines Hash House Harriers
Tradition: Before embarking on trail it is important for hashers to know what they are looking for and to know where trail is taking them – with this in mind “Chalk Talk” is called before the pack leaves on trail and it is the hare’s duty to familiarize the pack with the marks that they will encounter (on a live trail The RA will handle chalk talk). Trail is usually laid in either flour or sidewalk chalk. Depending on weather or terrain you may encounter toilet paper and engineer tape.
Since marks change from hash to hash, it is important that all visitors pay special attention at chalk talk, as well as any virgins (since they obviously have no idea what they’re looking for). Any non-standard SoPi marks that are used should especially be pointed out to the pack, as using them could result in the entire pack getting lost and missing all the shenanigans.
