The Fighting Christians of Elon College
They became The Phoenix but they will always be the Fighting Christians to those of us in McLeansville who remember when Elon was a school you attended because you got tossed out of every other school.
Great parties back in the day. I helped to pull the charter from our fraternity chapter there for hazing.
You mean like people who fake Native American heritage in order to become professors? C'mon, no one would ever do that. (/s)
Identity politics is insanity.
That must’ve been some pretty impressive hazing!
If gay people want to have their own college, fine. If some administrator wants to set up a college that caters to gay people, fine. More power to them. No one is forcing anyone to go to it. But it should not be taxpayer funded. Which leads to the larger point — government money in higher education has completely perverted our university system. It hasn’t made it affordable. It just created a bubble. The entire system is rotten and focused on useless, trendy PC education that is meaningless in the real world. Its time to pull all money from our university system and let them stand or fall on their own. Sure there will be a horrible depression in higher education for a while, but the system will emerge stronger.
It is a frequent entry in the NYT crossword puzzle.
They were making pledges run naked from ice block to ice block, depositing or picking up an olive on each one.
Gay as Hell.
The Elon of old was a curious phenomenon. It was, as you say, the local college of last resort on the one hand. But, I recall it was also regarded as a step up from Moody’s Bible College for earnest, 1st generation college-bound Christian high schoolers, I suppose due to their mascot. There must’ve been quite the culture divide there, and a lot of disillusioned students.
Fraternity hazing almost always did have an element of that.
What a cesspool of liberalism North Carolina Universities have become.
A lot of my fraternity brothers came out of the closet. Same with my wife’s fraternity(little sister). Gay men were attracted to the male camaraderie.
There was always the standing jokes about the guys who were the last ones to know they were gay.
Oddly, they had sex with women quite often.
Most homosexuals were molested as children.
They want to normalize their behavior to ensure access to YOUR children.
... and what floats at the top of cesspools is never cream.
... and just what haven of conservative state universities do you call home? New Jersey? Seems like it always is, with this kind of comment.
NCSU here in Raleigh isn’t so bad. They still put out farmers and engineers. :-)
WCU up in the Smokies isn’t, either. College Republicans there have events and speakers in without incident, even Milo.
I thought Elon was a Christian college?
I live in Fayetteville, NC
