  • Freshman Checklist

    The end of the year is approaching soon and freshman all over the world are feeling accomplished at successfully taking on college life. However, I felt the need to compile a checklist of things that must be successful completed before the end of the year and you are granted any bragging rights. Below are two separate lists, one for guys and one for the ladies:
     
    Guys:
     
    __ Lose that virginity, I mean seriously. Non-virgins can spot a virgin from a poorly told sex story away and your insistence on lying about hook ups is not only awkward but creepy too. Amanda says it never happened.
     
    __ Stop wearing a swimsuit to take a shower in the community bathroom. Be a man and embrace your inadequacies.
     
    __ Dump the high school girlfriend. Mainly because she is still in high school loser.
     
    __ Chug beer every method imaginable. Beer bong, shotgun, keg stand etc. However, don’t act like you can drink/chug more than you really can. Secretly pouring our beer to impress your friends is an offense punishable by death.
     
    __ Quit quoting every popular movie in every conversation. It is annoying as piss. I saw the movie too asshole and it was way better when Will Farrell said it.
     
    __ Obtain a poorly made fake ID and when you have it taken by a bouncer offer to arm wrestle him for it back.
     
    __ Visit at least two other colleges and party like you’re never going to see these people again, because you’re most likely not.
     
    __ Stop trying to have a deep philosophical conversation every time you get stoned. I don’t care what you say, smoking pot does make you dumber momentarily, but that’s a good thing. Enjoy the break from intelligence; talk and laugh about stupid shit that you would never find funny sober. May I recommend a website?
     
    __ Date around. Nothing can ruin your freshman year quicker than finding a girlfriend at the beginning of the year and ending the year with the same girlfriend. Remember, freshman girlfriends have expiration dates like the rotten milk in your dorm fridge and if kept too long they will spoil. Your fun that is.
     
    Girls:
     
    __ Make out with other girls…please.
     
                Well, it looks like all freshmen have their work cut out for them, so get out there and complete your list. Feel free to offer up other challenges below.


  • Well here we are; the current Phi Omega Sigma house. As you know, they're being asked to vacate the house immediately. Right, following the three pledge deaths in March. But, the speedy eviction of these tennants means you'll pay much less than the house is worth, so hey, that's good news for you. Oh by the way, You understand we couldn’t get everybody who lives here to leave during the viewing, right?

    Come on in here with me into the foyer. Oh yay, we are here just in time to witness one of the house’s oldest traditions. These fifteen young men you see standing here in their boxers passing a raw egg to each other mouth to mouth are called pledges. What a joyful prospect it is to think that you can live in a residence so rich with history! Let's low five.
     
    Ah, this is the living room. I know what you're thinking; and yes, these eight vinyl couches DO come with the residence. Smell? I don't notice anything. Hmm, I have a cold, I'm sure it's fine. Nothing a little scrubbing in between the cracks on these soft wood floor won't fix.
