Black Sunday
For those of you not hip to the UCLA party scene, this Sunday was the biggest party of the year, being the last weekend before school starts. I checked out the houses and was amazed at how long the lines were. Everywhere I went there were lines of at least 100 people waiting to get. I tried standing in line for one of the houses right off of campus and saw some interesting things.
While standing in line I looked inside the house and saw a group of people seated around a table. Of course they had a monstrous bong in front of them and smoked right in plain view of the police from their window. I was amazed that they weren’t arrested, honestly. Later on a guy tried to cut through the lawn to get inside and one of the frat boys knocked him down. The guy tried to retaliate, threw a punch, and ended up getting arrested by campus police. It was hilarious. He was covered in dirt, drunk as hell, and pissed off.
The place was a total mess. Beer cans were everywhere, as well as cigarette ash. I can see why the weekend gets such a reputation. It was interested but truly overwhelming. I had a good time though. If you have a story about Black Sunday, be sure to post it here.

After partying in one frat house for most of the night, my friends and i decided to check out a friend’s frat down the street. It took us about 20 mins to convince the guy standing outside that we really did know someone inside before he would let us in. We had gotten a ride there from two guy friends of ours who ended up not being able to get in anywhere and had been bored all night. They called us and told us to meet them back at the car but, when we went outside and started to walk up the street towards the car, the campus (or riot) police had formed a line spanning the entire street and were pushing everyone downhill — away from our ride. A couple of guys started messing with them and they almost started a brawl in the street . . . talk about some Rodney King action. We had to go back to the frat and wait out the police line for about an hour before we could even start heading back to the car. Needless to say, our guy friends (who had been waiting over an hour) were more than a little annoyed at the whole situation. For us girls though . . . the night was a blast! We’ll be marking our calendars for next year for sure.

That’s great to hear. But in the end, this is why people pony up the big bucks to going the frats, since they are very exclusionary to non-members. This means that only girls can get in. Honestly, if I were the head of a frat, I would do the same, so I’m not going to complain.
