Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Ok guys, for the next week, I'm gonna post on a topic about Yale that is not publicized in the Yale viewbooks and literature. The information in the posts may improve your view of the school or deflate your view, all I am trying to do is to get into important things about the school that prospective students and parents really have no idea about.</p>

<p>They are:
1. Yale's lenient policy regarding alcohol and hazing
2. The significant number of students that live off campus
3. Yale fraternities and sorotities
4. Clubs and bars in New Haven</p>

<p>I'll post about alcohol and hazing later today</p>

2

<p>You should post about the secret societies too ;)</p>

3

<p>I find it hard to believe that Yale has a lenient policy about hazing.</p>

4

<p>Well, this should be rather interesting! Thanks!</p>

5

<p>I have no problems with Yale's attitudes towards drinking. In my opinion, Yale's policy is both the safest and most fun for the students.</p>

<p>YaleSocietyMember, if I say "Skull and Bones" I hope you will stand up and leave the forum according to tradition. You appear to know nothing about Yale. Here I go:</p>

<p>the literature on senior societies is vast;</p>

<p>Though this was written by a conservative Yale newspaper, they did a pretty good job at getting to the heart of Yale societies</p>

<p>No need for me to rehash already available info</p>

<p>Am I the only one who is disgusted by this secret society stuff?</p>

<p>Needless to say, I HOPE I GET REJECTED!!!!!</p>

9

<p>LOL... careful what you wish for!</p>

10

<p>Eh. Secret societies are not a very big thing as SOME people seem to think.</p>

11

<p>Dude, you guys, I'm like the most obsessed with them sercret societies, they sound so cool and stuff. I'm just going there this summer just to see the tomb. Any chances I can get an inside tour of that tomb? (I heard they got Geronimo's skull in there)</p>

12

<p>get into the tomb and not be a member no. if you do and your uninvited your time on earth may be limited</p>

13

<p>Ohh geaz dude, you think that they actually would resort to physical violence like that? Or would they just handle it with law enforcement? And are those guys even there in the summer?</p>

14

<p>do you want to test the theory?</p>

15

<p>lol, wouldnt it be so funny if he or she were actually able to get in and uncover the secrets.. kind of like da vince's code</p>

<p>I still think its just a place to meet people and make powerful connections</p>

16

<p>Yeah I'm gonna try it this summer during the summer session. See how it goes!</p>

<p>Odds of getting in any time are slim. Imagine a giant stone. Thats wat it is. There are no windows, and the doors are solid as hell. And there are cameras around it. You can go knock on the door all you want, your not gonna get in.</p>
