<p>How do I get one of these T-Shirts?</p>

<p>Not an answer, but pretty funny…</p>

<p>[WHERE</a> FUN COMES TO DIE](<a href=“http://uofcslogans.blogspot.com/]WHERE”>http://uofcslogans.blogspot.com/)</p>

<p>That website has most of the good ones I’ve seen, except (IIRC): Spank Me, Whip Me, Make Me Read The Iliad (sponsored by a student S&M club).</p>

<p>Also, of course: If I Had Wanted An A, I Would Have Gone To Harvard. But I don’t like that one as much.</p>

<p>(To answer the OP, one of the houses at Chicago owns the rights to it and sells it. I think they usually print up a new batch for accepted students weekends in the spring. There’s probably someone you can write to before then; one of the current students may know whom.)</p>

<p>Do you know if that house continues to sell the shirt in the fall? I can’t make it to Orientation but already enrolled.</p>

5

<p>My bad - I meant the April open house.</p>

<p>They sell them and many others all the time in Bartlett and Reynolds Club.</p>

<p>Great website! I like the “When you sleep, we study” slogan. I don’t think it’s actually on campus t-shirts or anything, but it should be! :)</p>

<p>A google search also brought up these two chants: </p>

<pre><code>* Herodotus, Thucydides, The Peloponessian War!
X^2, Y^2, Who the hell are we fighting for?
Go, Chicago! (This is actually used @ Model UN comps)

  • cheerleader: C-H!
    crowd:Chicago!
    cl:C-H!
    cr:Chicago!
    cl:C-H!
    cr:Chicago!
    cl:What’s C-H for?
    cr:Methane!
    </code></pre>

<p>Do they actually have a shirt that says “Our Ivory Towers are Bigger than Yours”? That’d be awesome.</p>

10

<p>Okay, what is really on that t-shirt? Is it Where Fun Comes to Die or is it Where Fun Goes to Die?</p>

11

<p>idad,
The shirts do say “Where fun comes to die” On the other hand, the UChicago med school shirts say “Where fun comes to be resuscitated” :)</p>

<p>On the cheers front, this web page collects the most I’ve seen, including some historical clunkers: [University</a> of Chicago Cheers](<a href=“http://home.uchicago.edu/~ahkissel/cheers.html]University”>http://home.uchicago.edu/~ahkissel/cheers.html). Its version of the Thucydides cheer makes more rhythmic sense, too.</p>

<p>This was my favorite, though:</p>

<p>Maximize our GNP,
Titrate their solution;
Calculate their MPC,
Crush their revolution!
GO, MAROONS!</p>

<p>Now that’s a cheer one can believe in.</p>
