Assuming that maggots are only ever accepted in twos. It just so happens that only 2 (the MC and Derek) became maggots this year, but I don't remember it being explicitly stated that they don't accept more than that per year.Is this timeline consistent with the maggot cycles?
0 : Rusty and Tommy founded the DIKs.
0 : Nick and Vinny were the first maggots in the same year.
(Nick : "Vinny and I were the first maggots to join the DIKs the year Rusty and Tommy started it.")
1 : Jamie and Leon are Maggot brothers.
2 : Jacob and John Boy were maggot brothers last year.
(Jacob : "Yeah, last year. Me and John Boy were maggot brothers.")
3 : Derek and mc are maggot brothers this year.
The CUM-petition is ... annual.
(Tommy : "It's time for the annual ... CUM-petition!")
If the maggots are accepted only once a year, the DIKs were founded 3 years ago.
Nick and Vinny were the first to join, but do we know for sure that Jamie and Leon joined the following year? They didn't join the same year as Nick and Vinny? And if they did join the following year, how do we know that wasn't the same year as Jacob and John Boy? To the best of my recollection, we don't know when Jamie and Leon joined.
Furthermore, when Maya shows the MC around campus, she mentions that the DIKs have only been around for "a couple of years" and "couple" means 2. In ep 4 Sage tells the MC (if you stay with her) she'll be be graduating soon and we know from the ep 5 flashback that she was the HOT president when she met Rusty, which is not a position that a freshman would get, so she must've been at least a 2nd year back then. We also know that Jill is a 3rd year which would make her a 1st year when she met Rusty.
The cum-petition can also still be an annual event even if this is only the 2nd time it's been repeated. We don't know how far Rusty, Tommy, Vinny, and Nick got in setting up the DIKs that first year, but let's say that they got the house "decorated", became an official frat, and set up their pledge board, then they could have accepted pledgers that first year and put them through the cum-petition. This might have been Jamie and Leon or some other characters who didn't make it as DIKs. Then the following year, Jacob and John-Boy went throught it and possibly Jamie and Leon as well, thus when the MC and Derek tke part, it has become an annual event because this is the 3rd year they've done it.
