Ugh ugh ugh. I saw the RS story circulated a lot on Facebook, as I also attended college in VA. There was just this sense that finally this is being discussed in an unignorable way, and UVA would be pushed to reassess both its Greek culture and its handling of sexual assault cases.

Pizza cake is all well and good, but why is nobody talking about this breakfast cereal cake: http://www.charlesphoenix.com/six-layer-milk…

Transient grad students are ones who study at one university but want to take a course at another and transfer the credits. So he probably just took Attic Greek and Literature one summer at UT.

Just had a peek at the Austin Institute's website (a.k.a. the people behind this vid), and it's six men and two women. All white, and all with some religious affiliation, mostly Mormon. Heh.

Derpy was named by the fans (4chan fans, who are generally not the nicest people). She was an unnamed background character who, through an animating mistake, looked a little... yeah. The show creators acknowledged this and officially named her Derpy, although they changed it later on.
