  • The Purple Crayon – everyone covers themselves in hot wax with the help of WIPS, but no swearing allowed.
  • Baker’s Dozen – there are 13 donuts, 5 handles, a pinky finger and 6 open spots in the group.  Do the math.
  • Any YPU party – you are a locked in a darkened, wood-paneled room for three hours every week and have to discuss political philosophy with the heat on high and your blazer on tight.
  • YDN TV – mandatory (blindfolded) manicure at JoBella and you have to sneak into the med school for some Botox to maintain that unwavering smile.
  • Community Health Educators – everyone gets a spot in a condom race bracket and it is made into a drinking game.
  • Red Hot Poker – you have to snort Flaming Hot Cheetos off the Theatre Studies DUS’s forearm.
  • Buckley Program – mansion sleepover where you will solicit donations from the class of 1950.
  • The Bullblog – you are given a cellphone number and the directions “across from Dunkin Donuts” but that’s it.

 

Get tapped, and best wishes!
