What happened after the Phi, according to the story?

• A. They traveled to Virginia to take their place
• B. They sold themselves into slavery
• C. He earned enough money to buy the Bivins out of slavery
• D. They escaped to Canada

Answer: (B)

After the Phi, the story centers on an act of profound self-sacrifice that defines the group's commitment. The characters choose to sell themselves into slavery, a dramatic gesture that shows their willingness to endure the loss of freedom rather than abandon their mission or their comrades. This extreme choice fits the narrative’s emphasis on loyalty and solidarity forged through initiation. The other options don’t fit that moment: traveling to Virginia would be a relocation, not the required sacrifice; earning money to buy someone out of slavery would focus on a rescue outcome rather than personal self-denial; escaping to Canada would be avoiding the challenge rather than meeting it head-on. So the self-sacrifice described is the key action after the Phi.
