I’m perplexed as to why a professor at MHC would use the LUG acronym. Perhaps not at MHC, but at Smith LUG is a derogatory term. Ditto Hasbian.
You should find this article amusing.

I’m a 1986 graduate, daughter no. 1 graduated in 2013, and daughter no. 3 may be a member of class of 2021. Mount Holyoke was a fabulous experience for me as a suburban white girl from a large public high school in the Mid-Atlantic region. The diversity was astounding and an extremely significant component of my experience there - it forced me to see outside my own tiny world. I loved just about every minute of being at MHC, but I was never one who wanted to go to a big party and drink beer - I prefer small groups, good wine and deep conversations. I had a lot of fun - don’t get me wrong - and I met and married a boy who still gives me goosebumps. What I valued about MHC (and I applied to co-ed schools as well) was that it was a time to focus on myself, as a woman, and to figure out who I wanted to be. My Mount Holyoke education is perhaps the most important and influential experience of my life, it colors my experiences and impressions, and it taught me to be a strong leader. I’m a litigation attorney now, was well-prepared for law school, and most of my fellow alumnae went on to grad school and interesting careers. My daughter’s experience was similar - she loved her four years there, though she only applied because I suggested she consider it, and she was planning to attend either Dennison or Wooster, but then hated those schools when she went back to visit on admitted students day, and only reluctantly visited MHC but loved it when she did. It was a bit sad for me that they don’t do some of the traditions I loved (elfing, or big sisters), but Mountain Day, and M & C’s, all add to the overall charm and sense of community. I had very close professor friends, very close classmate friends, traveled all over New England with the debate team…if you want a high quality education with a very diverse group of smart, accomplished women, you will love Mount Holyoke. It’s not a party school, and it can be a quiet place, but there is much to learn. As to the issue of sexuality…gay culture is very much alive and well, but both I and my daughter are straight, and neither one of us was put off by it. Some people might be, but it didn’t bother me. I hope you have a chance to check it out again - every day, I thank my parents for my Mount Holyoke education - I hope you find the place where you can have the same feeling of passion and excitement. Good luck!
Is Jorge still there???
@MHC86 Thanks very much for your comment. I ended up visiting Mt. Holyoke again, and after that I applied early decision and was accepted! Can’t wait to be there next fall!!
Who is Jorge? By the way, I am pretty sure they still have the elfing tradition!
Jorge is a goose who frequents Lower Lake. He poses for pictures on occasion. I am so glad to hear that you went back, applied early decision and got in. You will love Mount Holyoke. My experience (and I go back nearly 50 years) was pretty much the same as MHC86. I loved every minute of it, became a trial lawyer, and have cherished my Mount Holyoke friends and experiences ever since.

To whom it may concern: Jorge is very much alive and active; I can hear him honking from lower lake frequently. 
holy smokes! Trust me there are pleanty of “straight girls” at MHC. The MHC culture embraces individual growth inside a supportive community. Sexual orientation and gender indentity are secondary to accedemic and personal accomplishment. The only characteristic that binds 90% of the students is there commitment to learning. Go to campus. You’ll see all types of students from around the globe, religious heAd coverings, full sleeve tattoos, and mostly, typical college students walking and chatting in groups.
@momneeds2no The recent survey came out at 55% of the campus identifying as not straight. I have always said MHC is lovely because of its GIGANTIC diversity, beyond just numbers but in personalities as well.
