How to prepare for intense physical workouts?

Timeframe: 2-3 weeks (probably 3)

I am pledging for a frat and its a semester long process. I'm about 5' 8" and 175 so not in very good shape (not much muscle is in that weight). The process is basically a LOT of intense physical stuff, such as push-ups over and over and over. No long-distance running as far as I know.

I want to be as ready for this as possible, what should I do?

I am willing to invest in some drugs if they are safe and very effective/worth taking.

Eat healthy foods to balance out the gallons and gallons of delicious beer you will surely drink.

As stated, do pushups and wall sits to failure so that when you don't sleep for 4 days straight your muscles won't be quite as sore and you will feel that much better about how horrible your life is. Unless you smoke, the running should be fine.

Also, do not use any drugs under any circumstances. suck it up, the marines go through worse. you use drugs of any kind and you will undoubtedly be miserable.

Lastly, band together with your class and do not be afraid to revolt. you will often outnumber the overseers, so band your class together and stage a walk out. they are trying to forge brotherhood through intense circumstances, so grow some balls and say [censored] you and walk out. that is how you beat pledge week

This may seem too easy, but start doing a bunch of weird frat style exercises now. Do 50 pushups a day for the next 3 weeks. Carry a full keg 100 yards and back. You obviously have some idea what your gonna have to do, so start doing it. You aren't gonna drop enough weight in 3 weeks to make any difference, but you can condition your arms.
