[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You Americans and your silly, juvenile customs that you get way too worked up about. Lol.[/quote]

Right. The Japanese drink themselves brain dead after getting into University and my Oxford kid (UVA) says the drinking at Oxford fatr exceeds anything he ever saw in the States.  But if course you know better.  …because, why?  Oh and let’s talk about the German students at Bier-gardens while we are at ot.[/quote]

It’s not the drinking that I find funny, it’s the weird cosplaying/juvenile social club thing that people apparently assign outsize important to that I find funny. Like you really have to pay for friends to be considered “cool” by other people who pay for their friends? The whole thing is bizarre and a little childish. So glad I attended university in London and not in some hickish American college where being “Greek” is supposed to be something aspirational. And I’m sure actual Greeks find the whole thing even funnier.[/quote]

Oh come one. Why do people say dumb sh-- like this? Pay for friends . . . people "pay for friends" all the time in one way or another: country clubs, for example. Even in sports . . . that's not free. Not by a long shot. And part of the reason people do that is to find their group, tribe, friends, whatever. I'm not some Greek rah-rah person but get real. This is not unique to Greeks.

Trust me, we're all glad you attended university somewhere else too. [/quote]

There are plenty of us who don't partake in the country clubs or any other "pay for friends" as an adult,  despite having the financial means to do so.
