12. There will always be someone to give you their opinion (and notes, and tests) on a class they already took.

27. The parties may end, but the beer will never run out.

30. Upper thigh tans.

31. “Taking a girl home” from a fraternity party involves nothing more than walking up some stairs.

32. You’ll meet some of the classiest women on campus through sororities, and also some of the most free-spirited cock gobblers. Take your pick.

33. Your alcohol tolerance will skyrocket to a level somewhere between The Incredible Hulk and a rhinoceros.

34. I like seeing a tubed-top bosom as much as the next guy, but you’ve got to appreciate how sorority girls can dress attractively without looking like a Romanian sex slave.
