Did your student have a Bed Party?

D9 culture?

Kid was accepted ED. Bought (1) t-shirt to celebrate. This horrible and wasteful bed party trend is spread on social media and kids think it's expected/mandatory. My dd asked me about it, and I said no way!

LOL . . . no.

WTF?? "Chop off his testicles"??? This is a million times more disturbing than any of these bed parties.

This. Very low class.

D9 culture is so interesting! It holds a pretty important place in American culture and history.

I knew zero about it before my DC became involved, and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to learn.

We did brisk business making Homecoming Mums for the uncrafty or procrastinators, and this looks just like that, only for non-Texans.

A "homecoming Mum?"

Yeah, wtf is that? I know I can google, but I like the person I am without knowing what this is.

Oh, it's so much worse that I imagined. My eyes

I can't figure out what I'm looking at. Please explain this to me.

Teaching our kids that overindulgence and narcissism are the way to go!

You have deprived your child of a magnificent moment in their young adulthood. I hope you can live with yourself tonight!

Lol, even the GMU girl is looking like "this is too much fuss for Mason".

I only know one girl locally who did this. Her mom is pushing the sorority thing HARD.
