Want to piss people off?

If so, I have the perfect opportunity for you!

If you have any gripes about any campus groups, I want to hear them.  Make fun of the fraternities, sororities, or even the cycling club.  It’s fine with me.  If it’s funny we’ll post it up on the blog under a pseudonym.  Make up your name, send it from off-campus from a non-Babson email, whatever you want.

This blog is all about controversy (please no personal attacks though.)

And while you’re reading, please note that any similarities between our nicknames (such as Crapmaster, Fire Barefoot, 9th Wonder, etc) and real people are purely coincidental.

Thank you and have a nice day and a wonderful Spring Break!

The Sigma Kappa Myth

Because you can’t believe everything you read on the internet, we try to find all the lies and expose the truth here on this completely honest, peer-reviewed blog. I recently stumbled upon an interesting entry in Urban Dictionary about Sigma Kappa. It’s common knowledge about the 60/40 ratio at Babson, but not much more is said. Which is why some people may get excited about a Sigma Kappa sorority at Babson after reading the Urban Dictionary listing.

National sorority guaranteed to have the hottest girls at all the local universities you’ve never heard of (plus a couple big name schools, i.e, Berkeley, UPenn, Florida, etc.). Powerhouse of Playboy pinups and low-budget porns. The sorority that dropped your fat ass during rush.

But be warned, that is not the Babson Sigma Kappa definition! That was surely sponsored by the girls within the sorority. I recommend you take a look further and find the definition that applies to Babson:

A national sorority that happens to be big at Babson College, a local college you’ve never heard of. While local universities may have the hotties, the local colleges like Babson do not. But they do have a ‘big’ presence on campus, that’s for sure. They are great people to know if you are looking for food, but be sure to get notice in advance. It will not last long.

Used in a sentence: The fat asses that got dropped during rush at UPenn ended up in Sigma Kappa at Babson.

Hopefully that clears things up.

The Library Survey

I have a very important post to make today. The post itself isn’t very long, but there’s something interesting here – it was submitted by a professor! Yes, a Babson professor has submitted something for publication at crapcampus.com. I just thought everyone should know.

Without further ado, here it is:

I just sat through a library committee meeting during which they went over all the comments they have received so far on the library survey. One of the biggest surprises for me and the library staff was that virtually no one complained about the library hours. The library staff is taking the survey very seriously, so if there are things you want changed, FILL OUT THE SURVEY; particularly question 38. You have until the end of the week.

Even included the link for the 99.9% of students who deleted the email about it ;)

Snow Day (…NOT)

I woke up this morning to plows. I look outside to find the blizzard that we expected to get. So naturally, I look at the computer and wander over to babson.edu to see if class got cancelled. Answer: absolutely not.

Apparently, we’re just about the only school in the Boston area that feels the need to have class during a blizzard (I think there were over 500 closed schools in the area today). More appropriately, we’re just about the only school that has absolutely no regard whatsoever for the safety of the staff and students.

Maybe the snowfall as of 8am wasn’t so horrible that the faculty, staff, and students couldn’t get to campus. But knowing that a blizzard has already started, and that this blizzard will turn to sleet, freezing rain, etc., then how is everyone supposed to get back home after the blizzard has set in and the roads are covered with freezing rain?

I only hope someone doesn’t have to pay the price with their life on the way back from class today for the administration to wake up and realize that having one snow day during the year isn’t such a horrible thing.

And it wouldn’t hurt for the admins to realize this is a COLLEGE, and that maybe snow days once in a while would improve the quality of life because no one likes doing 360′s on icy roads on the way to class, getting pinballed around among trees, cars, and other obstacles.

Anyway, stay safe everyone, and if you see Bareass around, smoke his nuts with your steel-toe boot for me and for all those whose insurance payments will double today as a result of the snow day that never was.

My name is…

Reverend Esby as you’ve known me.  Bryan Steward, by my legal identity.  If you were crafty, you’d have already learned this from facebook.  All shock aside though, I have decided to go public for a reason.  Thus far, I’ve merely been a writer who has hid himself from the masses to prevent public backlash or worse yet backlash from the college.  But sometimes conflict is a good thing… or so they say.

When is the President’s Ball?

Good question.  The Snow Ball is coming up on Friday, but the President’s Ball is long gone.  It was over at about the same time Barefoot lost interest in the school.  Surprising correlation, huh?

If the president doesn’t care, he doesn’t get his name on things.  He would have to at least show up at the ball to get his name on it, and that is asking too much.

My Debut Piece

Hello fellow community. I write to you in hopes that the changes brought out by this message will reach you as well as incoming students. The first issue amongst this school is the lack of money management. I’m sure you’re aware of the locks in Map Hill and Park Manor North. The “really high tech” ones that lock you out if you leave the door alone, and without your onecard leads to a long wait for your roomate or a call to Babo. These annoying locks are not only unnecessary, but over priced. Market value of locks like these range from $700-900 each. And Babson is considering using these locks in all dorms. Could you imagine how much money it would cost to fund all 15 or so dorms??? And where is that money coming from??? The money would be better spent on an exterminator to eliminate all of the rats in Forest, or better (or more) bathrooms/showers for the dorms, or even they could lower tuition.

Another problem with this school and money is the fact that Babson flat out extorts us out of money, and because they are a business entity and we are “lowly worms” they can get away with it. For example, one student I know moved from a triple to a double, literally 3-4 rooms down the hall (on the same floor of the same dorm building) and was hit with a $350 bill for the move…This makes as much sense as Beowulf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first Battle of Antietam. Another student moved from one dorm to another one (with Air Conditioning) and was hit with a $400-$500 bill, in which the A/C was only on for about a week longer (then they shut it off). I wonder how much they charge an hour to have Air Conditioned Dorms.

Another idea on how to improve Babson would be to have students return on Sundays, or on weekends, instead of during the middle of the week. The current plan disables many parents from going with the students (because of their work, and you’d think a business school would take that into account) and, in turn for having these few “free days”, we are punished with the Friday class at the end of the week. Now returning on weekends would save a day and not cost anybody wasted time/energy, and we’d save the Friday for whatever students do on Fridays.
