Woah... May I ask where you go to school? This sounds... Shockingly familiar.

Harry Potter quotes are definitely involved. I think the handshake is something we'd have to address in an official meeting, to give all constituents a right to voice their opinion.

You're absolutely right. Thanks for putting it so poignantly! And it's not so much that I suddenly *want* to stop enjoying the events/ memories/ traditions. I still do enjoy them. It's that I have to make sure that my bias (happiness! tradition!) doesn't get in the way of critical thinking. I've seen that happen way…

Hooray! A fellow raised-catholic-but-question-everything who can't seem to shake the happy memories of religious holidays being! I struggle with this too. We can be friends! Damn Catholic guilt.

I only read Babysitter's Little Sister about Karen Bower and never the older, official books. What I know about Kristy all came straight from the mouth of her younger sister Karen.

If it's the same city, Uniontown is my parents zip code. It is tiny. I wish this surprised me more than it does.

Haha yes, i am aware of this, as i am also a native Ohioan. PA is weird with alcohol and they need to get their shit together and I miss how simple and cheap it was to buy in ohio. And that may or may not happen depwnding on who wins the governor's seat.

In our defense, packs of beer here are crazy expensive given we aren't NYC or LA. So maybe it's not that heroin is so cheap, but that beer is so expensive?

I'm still betting Jimmy Kimmel is behind the whole thing.

As a follow up, this is a fantastic piece of research that goes into all of this. I'd recommend reading the whole thing, but my summary is this: Alcohol and Greek life can create gender disparity on campus that contribute to a gender hierarchy with women below men. I wish this paper would become the go-to expose on…

I'll just leave this handy bit of research about college gender disparity and hierarchy at Greek life parties here... Perhaps it would do our Forbes writer gentleman friend some good to read up on this research. Of course, I'm sure he would discredit it as 2 of the 3 researchers are only female.

Whoops! One typo. SAE stands for Sigma ALPHA Espilon, not Sigma Chi Epsilon as stated in your first paragraph.

haha. Yes.

Miss Teen South Carolinas rejoice.
