[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

yeah, because surely the [b]british upper crust never paid money to join gay, exclusive social clubs lmao[/quote][/b]

Are you referring to the Pall Mall clubs like Travelers or The Reform Club? Because there is nothing like the American Greek system at Oxbridge. And I’ve been yo Travelers snd the Reform Club and was also president of a US Soriority. They aren’t comparable on any level [/quote]

Oxford and Cambridge both have drinking societies / dining clubs where kids get together to get drunk and act like idiots with their friends (the same thing Greek kids do at American schools).[/quote]

Distinct difference between kids getting together to drink and the weird cosplay/initiation/rushing/faux secret society thing that frats/srats partake in.[/quote]

You must be joking if you think Oxbridge students don't join secret societies for the sole purpose of getting wasted.  Not sure how you find that more palatable than greek life.

I went to Oxford.  You are wrong on so many levels but you aren't here to learn, are you/[/quote]
