It's our first article for the Trident and we're damn glad to be here! Smartass comments and biting sarcasm will be a fixture in this space for years to come. After three semesters at W&L, here's our breakdown, calling it like we see it.
Phi Kapp: Where'd my shirt go?!
Fist-pumping and inflated lats encouraged--get off the Mountain Dew. For proper demonstration, see Kevin Fuge. There hasn't been a time we've been at County Seat that we haven't seen flawless examples of this time-honored tradition. From afar, it may look like a bunch of robotic clones, but once you get to know them, they are distinct and unique meatheads.
Phi Delt: To the corner!
At Pumptown, all bets are off. Every once in awhile, you might want to switch the play list, check yourself, and give up the hopes of starring on Soul Train. As it goes, the closer you get to the corner, the better. Start out with some ill-advised "walking it out" until you are able to zero in on the hot freshman chick you've been Facebook stalking. If you are really looking to hook up, follow Bose to the corner, where low light ends up leading to higher success and loss of personal space.
Sigma Chi: If you can move, VICTORY!
At Pole 3, the only way to impress a girl is to actually be able to move. There is so much bumping and grinding that occurs naturally that no one knows whether you are standing or dancing. Merely surviving the struggle for air is enough to prove oneself worthy of a late night Graham Lees visit.
KA: Zone Blocking
Dancin' like they pass block, which must be difficult for girls to partake in. The few and strong that do survive, though, have proved they are more than adequate to take home to Mother Alpha.
Kappa Sig: It's all about the tables
The most recent party we were at was at Hobes. We were stunned to see everyone dancing on the table was a dude, breaking normal social tradition. However, this innovative move is not without its positive aspects. Seeing down shirts, surveying the whole party, and looking like a Greek god on a pedestal all prove to be underrated plusses of this rare maneuver.
Phi Beta Sigma: Stompin' the yard
You know these guys can step.
SAE: Always proper.
Don't let the awkward standing fool you, when the lights go down they are ready to pull out the waltz you only thought you'd use with your mom. We have to give them credit, in sophisticated situations they blow anyone else out of the water. Too bad it's college, not cotillion.
