Tn@ – Charter

MISSION STATEMENT

Titties N’At Hash House Harriettes (TN@H3) is dedicated to providing a space for likeminded women and non-binary hashers to let their hair down and lift others up through positive interactions

Titties N’At Hash House Harriettes Charter

Titties N’At Hash House Harriettes (TN@H3) was established October 26, 2015.  TN@H3 will meet every 28 days beginning Wednesday, December 2, 2015 at 6:30 pm for pre-trail drinks at any drinking establishment, home providing adult beverages, or trunk of a car with a cooler within/near the city limits of Pittsburgh. Harriettes will be on out at 7:00 pm.

Objectives

The main objective of this group is to bring together awesome women and non-binary people that exist within and around the Pittsburgh hashes and to introduce new people to hashing within a (insert positive adjective) group of ladies!

Membership

Membership is open to all women and non-binary hashers who are interested in taking a break from the patriarchal overlords of the dual gender hash to let their hair down and lift each other up through positive interactions with like minded ladies.

Entrance Fees

Virgins to the TN@H3 hash for free; all others, with the exception of the harriette(s) will pay a participation fee of $5. A total of $3 of each $5 will be returned to the haring harriette(s) and the remainder will be placed into the TN@H3 treasury for future use.

RULES & TRADITIONS

Harriette Guidelines
  • Trail can be live or dead; harriette’s choice! If the trail is live, the harriettes will be given approximately 10 minutes lead time and must remain at the stops for all members to arrive
  • Trails should either be within the city limits of Pittsburgh or close proximity to the city limits
  • TN@H3 is about socializing more than anything else
  • Regular Trails: Trail length should be between 2.5 and 3.5 miles
  • Special Spotting Trails: As approved by the Dominatrix may vary in length
  • Hash cash is $5
    • $3 will go to the harriette and $2 will go towards the TN@H3 treasury.
  • The harriette is responsible for one stop on trail, although they may have as many as they would like, and are not limited to serving only beer.  The harriette is also responsible for Circle beer 
  • If either circle or a beverage stop are located within a bar, the harriette must purchase a round (i.e. pitcher/pitchers so each Harriette gets a drink)
  • Food is not expected but is encouraged. Harriettes will announce what the food situation will be before the day of the hash. Potlucks are also encouraged to build community ties
  • All marks must be explained or dis-SEMEN-ated before on-out
  • On-Out at 7pm, or as close as humanly possible. Hares should keep in mind that beauty sleep is an essential part of a Harriette’s life and should not design a trail that will keep the group out past 10PM
  • Circle will start at or before 9pm and will end (at most) 30 minutes after start.
Circle Guidelines
  • Circle will be a collective effort generally guided by the HPV and Song Mistress.
  • All Harriettes will participate by volunteering songs.
  • No Harriettes will ever be Ziggy-Zaggied in circle for attempting to offer a song and failing.
  • Harriettes will be encouraged to tell us a story about a memorable menstrual cycle experience.
  • When applicable, we will name a Prince Helperdick in honor of a man who helped with that month’s trail.
  • There will be no talking and telling secrets while circle is going on.  You are not being forced to attend circle.  If you cannot remain silent, you will be asked to either leave or share your secret with everyone. 
  • The Eager Beaver will be gifted a beaver sticker during circle.
  • The Lazy Llama will be gifted a llama sticker during circle.
  • Under no circumstances will flour or beer be showered upon those receiving praise or punishment in circle unless they specifically ask for it.  Consent is sexy, y’all!
Naming

The process by which Harriettes receive a name will include a series of questions posed to the lady without a name, discussion by the group that will include stories known about the lady in question, and potential names for her.  If no suitable name can be determined, the naming will be tabled until a later date.  Once a name has been determined, the newly named Harriette will do a down-down as we toast her. . No throwing things on the newly named, sadly, not even glitter.

 Commemoratives

Every 10 trails equals one blood drop pin.

Every 50 trails equals one fancy hash name necklace.

Special Events

PAP: Positively Astounding Party (PAP) is a yearly, non-trail event planned by the current Ms. Management for women to appreciate everything that has happened over the year. The PAP should be held around December 2 of each year (the anniversary of the first TN@ trail). Snaps if the Yearly PAP is a sleepover.

Spotting Trails: Trails that are off our 28-day schedule. These may take place on any day of the week and may be manvitationals where male hashers may join.
