Because books.

Yeah, I just looked it up, which I hadn't before, due to extreme laziness.

Still, he didn't have a prescription for it, did he?

Well, there's also the fact (mentioned by P-C or someone when the ep aired) the cash box was out of his possession for a good length of time and in the hands of criminals who had the combination to the box. So there was no way to prove at the time that the GHB was neccessarily Mercer's.

Ah. Okay. God, I miss so much stuff.

And congratulations, Kalshane! A baby! All kinds of good wishes for you and the baby's mom and the baby to come.

Hey, congrats, Kalshane!

Being also undergrad-centric to my specific college, I have a hard time believing that any school could have a larger or more influential Greek system than the U of Alabama. Their KA frat was also notorious for racist Confederate-mythologizing bullshit, but the Greeks ran everything in student government and received all sorts of leeway from the administration to do so, at least until the administration dissolved the student government for some infractions. Oh, this is all coming back to me: there was apparently a pan-Greek council called Theta Nu Epsilon (or ONE) that chose all the members of the student government on the notion that no other group on campus could oppose the Greek vote. IIRC, one year a disgruntled ONE member ran for president threatening to expose the whole system, and they burned crosses on her lawn and did other craaaaazy things, until the administration decided that too much press might expose their all-too-cozy relationship with the Greek power machine and they dismantled student government because of this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At my university, frats threw parties. That's all. But they were nowhere near as fun as the engineering/nursing ones. I'm not sure I knew anyone in a fraternity or sorority until long after I graduated.

Thanks, folks.

I knew a couple of girls in a Sorority in college, but never got invited to any parties, frat or otherwise. Of course, we were supposed to be a dry campus. (Which any walk through the dorms on a Friday or Saturday night could tell you wasn't working so well.)

I know during pledge week a friend of mine nearly got run over by a horde of guys wearing nothing but swim fins and gas masks as they streaked across campus. But that's the only fraternity-related activity I even heard about.

Of course, I was only there for the one year.

Hey. New board.

Caltech doesn't have a Greek system. We have co-ed houses instead, that everybody joins and lives in. It's like Harry Potter!

I miss college.

Evergreen is also Greek Free.

The individual apartments weren't co-ed (unless you signed a waiver and did a group lease thing instead of individual assignments), but the buildings were.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

We didn't have fraternities, sororities or anything similar at my school in England. although many of the American students who came over for one semester belonged to them back home. They always came over and tried to talk to us like we were supposed to be impressed or something. It always took them a few weeks to register that anywhere outside of their home school, it was completely irrelevant.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

we had frats and sororities, but they didn't have houses. they lived amongst everyone else in the dorms or in off campus apartments.
