<p>Is there anything interesting or unusual going on on campus this weekend, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday (July 18, 19, 20)? This seems like a very quiet time of year. </p>
<p>I think there are a lot of people living on campus for summer freshman class but I think they don't have classes on Fridays so they go home, leaving the campus very quiet.</p>
<p>Most kids I knew last year who did summer school didn't come home for weekends at all... In fact, my son, who was a fall admit, wished he could have been there all summer!!! He ended up driving back and forth on weekends for different events.</p>
<p>I'm not sure about this weekend, but next weekend, one house has a big party friday night that he's going back for, and Fiji Islander is on Saturday.</p>
<p>But, those might not be the types of activities your looking for ;)</p>
<p>What is "Fiji Islander"? (If it involves coconut shell bras, grass skirts, or pina colada jello shots, maybe I don't want to know...)</p>
<p>No coconut shell bras :)</p>
<p>It's a big fraternity party that draws a huge crowd, there will be a ton of freshmen there, along with upperclassmen. If your daughter could grab another girl or join a group from her dorm, they could all go together. Girls have no problems getting into the parties ;)</p>
<p>I don't really think anything unusual goes on during the weekends...everyone I know in the summer class stays pretty much ever weekend and studies some and does what typical college students do over the weekend.</p>
<p>But there isn't anything special going on that I've heard of, and definitely nothing I would recommend to a mother.</p>
<p>If it's anything like 1982, keep your daughter away from the Fiji ( a nickname for Phi Gamma Delta as I recall) party!</p>
<p>Well, since it's not 1982, I would guess they're different, since those guys have all graduated - unless it's like the movie "Old School" and there are old and married men there ;) </p>
<p>But, if your kid is not into the greek scene (I know that there are many out there who have their own reasons for being anti-greek, I don't want to turn this thread into a greek bashing thread), then by all means stay away! </p>
<p>For those who are not anti-greek, it is a good way to meet a bunch of people and have a fun time.</p>
<p>LoL Ag54! Just trying to picture some of my former classmates still hanging around the frat house with balding heads and love handles! I'm getting quite a laugh.</p>
