A Greek Party Scene!
IntroductionThe social life here is great, it’s what you make it into I’m in a fraternity and obviously if you’re in a fraternity then you’re social life is pretty set for you – you can drink as much or do as many drugs as you want any kind of drugs pretty much – I personally don’t do any drugs at all but if I wanted to I could have Coke, Heroin, pretty much anything I wanted to pretty much in an hour and a half.
Campus Life and Social LifeI think this place is beautiful I think there are a lot of really awesome people – there are also 30,000 some odd people here and you get a lot of dumb asses and you get a lot of really cool people at the same time. I mean if you pulled 33,000 from anywhere else – it would be pretty much about the same I thin, I don’t know, I would say Georgia’s pretty much like anywhere else. The campus here is actually awesome I really like it there’s a lot of stuff and it is very spread out but it’s really not a problem you can take busses, parking sucks but it’s great. What can you really say about a campus in general? I think the architecture is really cool.
AcademicsGirls constantly complain that they’re aren’t any serious guys here - that they don’t want to date – that may or may not be true I don’t really know, I had a girlfriend for two years. I think it definitely takes an effort to find somebody who wants to be dating. I mean you could very easily go downtown and find someone to hook up with. I would say hook up Greek but don’t date Greek – that is definitely something fraternity guys go buy I would say. One danger with that is Greek girls talk a lot and so you’re reputation can be ruined very quickly in sorority but at the same time – there are definitely chapters on campus if they hooked with a girl they will announce it at chapter. I don’t know what the actual percentage is a fair number of people do Greek life – you know it is such a large campus not everyone, obviously not an overwhelming percentage does it, you know there’s 22 – 24 fraternities and sororities on campus. So there is a lot – and there is a lot of competition, typically in the more serious in the typically Southern fraternities KA, SA, Lambda Chi, you can be grandfathered in – in fact you have rush in the fall but typically by then, I would say a vast majority if not all pledge class is picked out. Other Fraternities do it differently – sororities is very much the same way if you – if you’re a legacy in a sorority you’re just a shitty human being you can still be legac-ied in is what they call it. They actually like – she’s a double legacy or a triple legacy or she’s a triple legacy that just means that you’ve had 2 or 3 family in that sorority before.
Student BodyIf you don’t like football you’re probably not going to enjoy going to the University of Georgia. What is it they say – a drinking town with a football problem, I think is one of the monikers, so, I think that’s true in a lot of ways. Football games are awesome – they’re always a lot of fun. I personally prefer basketball – we used to have a decent basketball team but not anymore. You wake up as early as humanly possible probably like 7:30 – 8 you get your spot to tailgate – we bring kegs, we grill, we set up a tent, and you pretty much drink as much as you can until you have to go to the game. You try to take a flask in with you, hopefully that works, if not, you can probably sneak it in the stadium other way. A good way is to tape it to a girl’s leg – they usually don’t pick up on that – but lets hope the girl is shaved or else that could be awful – or gaffer tape, gaffer tape is good too but that’s more expensive than duct tape. Then you go and you stand in the sweltering sun for about 3 ˝ hours and hope that you don’t pass out or puke all over your self and go home and take a nap for an hour and a half and start drinking again at 10 o clock.
In Closing...I would say our broadcast department is awesome and I’m not just kissing ass. Our professors are outstanding. We, of course, like most state universities, deal with just huge budget cuts and budget crisis. There’s never, ever been a time in the broadcast department where I felt like my degree was worth less than competitive students at another school. I’ll say that the University of Georgia ‘s name is just now starting to be - Oh, he’s a Georgia grad- that’s somewhat impressive – Georgia has had a shit reputation for pretty much ever up until hope scholarship things started getting better, more selective, better students sort of thing. In terms of broadcast we’re doing-amazing stuff.
