My Age of Investment
19. Fraternities and sororities
On August 20, the downstairs of Stanford's dormitories became a sea of joy.
This day was the last day for the new students to report, so various associations and societies appeared.
These sophomores, juniors and even seniors were in groups of three or five, wearing T-shirts with the school emblem of the red Christmas tree, holding microphones, stereos, setting up a few tables, and tying a few balloons, and they started at the door of the dormitory. Newborn Ceremony.
Whenever a freshman appears with a suitcase in sight, these old students rush forward to help with the bag.
The student holding the microphone read out the name of the freshman, where did it come from, and everyone shouted in unison: Welcome to Stanford...
The freshmen were amazed: how did they know my name?
These old students have obtained the information of each new student from the school affairs office in advance, including photos, and can naturally be seated one by one, without the situation of "reporting the wrong name and recognizing the wrong person".
Each new student will be greeted with a warm hug by a senior and senior sister in front of the arch built by balloons.
This is Stanford's freshman welcome tradition, which makes every freshman feel warm and warm to spend an unfamiliar first year.
Principal John Hennessy also appeared and shook hands with the incoming freshmen and their parents.
After posing, I rushed to the next dormitory.
Xia Jingxing and the dog were banging melon seeds on the side, admiring this interesting scene.
"Hi! Darren, puppy."
Kristina, who greeted the freshmen at the door of the dormitory, saw the two people eating melon seeds, and came over with joy, and brought two babes.
"These are Emily and Elizabeth, both my roommates and cheerleaders for school football."
Kristina introduced the last two.
Blonde, blue-eyed and hotter than Kristina is Emily.
Another twisted head with dark skin and thick lips is Elizabeth.
Xia Jingxing shook hands with the two of them one by one and said with a big smile, "My name is Dai Lun and I am from China. It is a great honor to meet two beautiful ladies."
"You're the Chinese Wonder Boy Kristina calls him?"
Emily looked Xia Jingxing up and down and was very curious.
Xia Jingxing looked away from the pair of volleyballs and glanced at Kristina.
Yang Niu explained with a smile: "I told Emily and Elizabeth that they were very interested in being the first users of our site."
"yes?"
Xia Jingxing smiled and looked at Emily: "Then there may be an endless stream of date invitations, Emily, don't be annoying."
"Then I can't ask for it."
Emily laughed very unrestrainedly, her chest shaking violently.
"Boy, are you sure your website can help me find a good date?"
With dreadlocks and wearing a navel-baring outfit, Elizabeth asked directly.
"of course."
Xia Jingxing looked at the black girl up and down, her skin was a little darker, but her figure was very good, like a little female leopard, there should be a big old black who likes this one.
"Okay, I'll register one."
Elizabeth glanced at Xia Jingxing, "If you can't find it, be careful that I will kick your little brother out."
Emily and Kristina laughed, already used to the vulgarity and directness of this roommate.
Xia Jingxing shrugged and prayed for his little brother.
The puppy on the side also followed Xia Jingxing's tone and greeted the two ladies.
But whether it was the blond girl Emily or the black girl Elizabeth, they all lacked interest in this small Dongying man. After a few words of greetings, they continued to chat with Xia Jingxing.
This made the little dog quite injured, and he didn't understand where he lost?
Looking at Xia Jingxing who made the three girls laugh, he silently drew a circle in his heart: I wish you were kicked out...
After the birth ceremony,
The three partners, Xia Jingxing, Kristina, and Little Dog, met again in the dormitory lounge.
Kristina threw three thick agreements on the table, "I consulted with a lawyer, and this is a drafted cooperation agreement.
You can see the content for yourself, and sign it if there is no problem. "
Xia Jingxing picked up the agreement and read it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, after confirming that there is no problem, I signed it.
After the puppy also signed, the three kept an agreement.
Kristina reported on the progress of the work: "Emily and Elizabeth have registered on our website and promised to help us register some members of the sorority."
Both sororities and fraternities are characteristic products of American universities, which are equivalent to a small circle in the school, and can also be regarded as a society.
Of the 45 U.S. presidents, 20 have participated in a school fraternity.
From the founding father Washington, to the modern Roosevelt, Nixon, to Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., they all participated in the Brotherhood.
This kind of organization is divided into many categories, not only professional and academic categories, but also social categories for eating, drinking and entertainment, service categories that help others, honor categories where scholars gather, and mysterious religious belief categories.
To put it simply, it is a group of students who have accumulated contacts since college.
The dog has heard of sorority and fraternity, and is very curious about it, and hurriedly asks what wonderful life will be after Christina joins.
Kristina shook her head. This kind of organization also has confidentiality regulations, so you can't say what's going on inside.
Xia Jingxing naturally knew the real situation in the so-called "fraternity" and "sisters".
He did not join these organizations in his previous life, but he also heard a few things.
On the plus side, joining fraternities and sororities does expand students’ social circles and is the quickest way for freshmen to meet new friends and start a new life.
In an unfamiliar environment, being able to join such a large organization will give the new students a sense of "big family", and quickly establish a sense of belonging and dependence with the members of the community.
On the bad side, it is very laborious to participate in such a club. Unless you are a person who knows time management very well and is confident that he can balance schoolwork and leisure activities, he should not join easily.
What's more, in order to join fraternities and sororities, you still need to pay a certain amount of dues.
A few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars a year.
Ordinary students who are struggling with tuition fees really can't afford to join.
In addition, this so-called campus organization with a history of one or two hundred years is also very dark.
If newcomers want to join, they have to go through an examination.
The content of the assessment is disgusting, from stealing underwear of the opposite sex, to streaking, dickling toes, doing push-ups on glass slag... how stupid it is to be stupid.
The old members also often play tricks on the new members, all kinds of childish pranks.
It is indeed another paradise for students who have a privileged family and want to play.
Party anytime and anywhere, and also associate with various sororities, you can meet many beautiful faces, interesting souls...
Many Chinese students are so depraved, alcohol, drugs, promiscuity...
Sexual assault cases in American universities are also emerging one after another. In addition to being related to "mixed dormitories", the most common incidents are parties of various fraternities and sororities.
Whether it's getting drunk or using force, as long as you win a girl, you can go back to the fraternity to brag.
In this culture, crime rates are high.
In the ten universities with the most sexual assault cases in American universities, each school has 30 to 40 cases every year, including prestigious schools such as Harvard and Stanford.
Even if there is one or two outbreaks in a domestic university, it is great news, and it will be hotly searched, and it will be beaten.
"sure!"
Although Xia Jingxing was not interested in these organizations, he did admit that if he could pull the registration websites of members of these organizations, it would be very beneficial to speed up the pace of expansion.
"In this way, we will invite the black girl and the yellow girl to dinner at night."
Xia Jingxing smiled again and said, "Didn't you say it last time? I want to invite your other two roommates to dinner, so I just took this opportunity to be together."
Christina nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to them."
After speaking, she left with an agreement signed by the three of them.
After Yang Niu left, Xia Jingxing and Xiao Dog also put away their agreement and returned to the dormitory.
