	Weening is a tradition that takes place in the pit, wherein a leather jacket is wildly mistreated to break it in. Students who have had their jackets weened become weeners, and are able to ween others. Beer, dirt, and other salacious substances are poured onto the jackets, which are then slammed into the ground and each other by the weeners. Weenies are instructed to put the jacket on and dragged around the pit counter-clockwise, then take a shower in the jacket to clean the schmutz off. In general, the entire process can take 2-3 hours and involve copious BEvERages.		Weening is a tradition that takes place in the pit, wherein a leather jacket is wildly mistreated to break it in.

If there is damage incurred during weening (tears, broken pockets, etc.), it is the responsibility of the weeners to pay for repairs.
