Crazy 2010 So Far

How’s it going, everyone?  I have been ghost lately on the blog but thankfully Ryan and Richard have been picking up the slack with quality posts.  I’m having trouble adapting to my new schedule here in school with 4 hours of straight class on Tuesday and Thursday.  Good thing they are all entrepreneur and marketing classes though!  Other than that I’ve been looking over some of the projects Ryan and I have been throwing together and trying to balance my life as best as possible without compromising too much.  I’ve been exposed to a lot of AWESOME entrepreneur articles and information in my classes that I am going to be sharing very soon.

I really debated talking about this next topic for fear of negative media attention but it’s so entertaining that I decided I might as well post it for everyone out there to see what their thoughts are on the whole mess.   As soon as I got to school, rush week started for all the incoming freshman of 2009.  As I said before, fraternities are huge at my school and I am also a member of one.  Hopefully you are a little familiar with what I’m talking about but on the last night of rush week we give a bid/invitation to the kids who we want.  The following night we then have what’s called “Kiss Night”…

Kiss Night described in two words… mass chaos.  Basically before the event every greek member who got a bid into a fraternity or sorority gets extremely drunk before the event and heads to a club where the object of the night is to kiss as many people as possible.  No shame, no holding back, all social rules are cut loose.  As a result, you have sloppy 18 and 19 year olds going around making out with 50-60 people, if not more.  As you may have guessed, authorities do not approve of this event very much due to underage drinking and etc. and this year it was cut short because all the ambulances in the area were in use due to the massive amount of ambulances in the area being used for alcohol poisoning.  Fortunately nobody on campus suffered any irreparable damage so we were lucky in that aspect.  The repercussions of the event have not been completely determined though so we are staying tuned.

So yeah, Kiss Night was my kick off to a new year two years in a row, maybe it will prove good luck this year too?  Definitely a unique experience that I will never forget for more reasons than one… (One reason that cost me 9 stitches, but we’ll save that for a rainy day!)   More relevant blog posts to affiliate marketing to come…

      Hey Jim,

      I’m sure John will provide his own answer, but Richard and I were also faced with the same decision 6 years ago (man I’m getting old quick). College for us was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and while it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever use my degree, the things I learned about people and responsibility were priceless. I attribute much of my success today to these lessons!

      Thanks for the comment, hope you enjoy our site!

    A number of factors contribute to why I’m still in school really. Mainly for experience, partly because my parents/family expect me to stay in school, and thirdly the Internet is an ever-changing beast and I don’t want to be cornered with it as a career, you know? Who says something else better won’t come along? ;)

  3. Kiss Night… maybe it should be called “Herpes Night”

  4. I am looking forward for the marketing and entrepreneurs artciles.

    “kiss as many people as possible” – hopefully it refered to members of the opposite sex.

    Else your greek experience would be one to remember (I hear therapy doesn’t help with the flashbacks).
