Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...

This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.

We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.

That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

Response to :I Pledge to Be...A Slut?

Joining a sorority in college is a huge part of someone’s life and is a completely new beginning for them. This essay was about a student trying to become a part of the sorority Phi Mu. This sorority is known to house all the “slutty girls”. This particular student did not want to be known for something like that but rather for the positive aspects of the sorority like becoming a part of Drexel and giving back to the community. The overall question/message of this essay was to not judge or stereotype people before knowing them. People do stereotype against fraternities and sororities and think things like “all they do is party” or “they are all bitches”. This student is trying to prevent people from doing so by telling her story about Phi Mu and also make people aware that sororities are not what all people think they are, they actually are beneficial and give people the experience of a lifetime.
