[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]    Did you read the RS article? Did you see the part about the songs they were singing? I'd like to hear the part about how male UVa students united to condemn the songs and the attitude behind them. But I can't, because it didn't happen.

Has anyone here who went to UVA ever heard of this song quoted in the article? No one I know from the school (generations of people who have been in fraternities and attended a lot of football games over the years) has ever even heard of it.

The song begins, "From Rugby Road to Vinegar Hill," and it is very difficult to imagine anyone who has attended UVA and not heard it.  It is learned in the first year dorms and sung lustily at parties, football games, and drunken stumbles down Rugby Road.  Every one of my many UVA alum friends (almost none of them alums of the Greek system) could recite the first 4 or 5 verses on demand right now (nearly 30 years out).

Apparently the youngsters have added on many new verses in recent years that are much more graphic and disgusting, and that older alums wouldn't know.  But the song in general?  If your friends have never even heard of it, they either went to a different school, or their memories are absolutely obliterated.

I graduated from UVa 15+ years ago and have not heard of the song until the RS article.  But, I didn't go to a lot of frat parties or football games, so maybe that's why.[/quote]
