Rumpus Advises Yalies

CampusAdvice.net is a recent start-up at Yale that allows students to post and answer questions about Yale life. As a reliable source of information on campus, Rumpus figured it would offer its sound knowledge base to undergrads.

007, we’re here for you.

Author’s Note: The following list is a direct transcription of a handwritten, laminated index card that we keep in our breast pocket every time we go out.

Whether you’re looking to get predatory or hoping not to become prey, identifying QPac students is an important skill for a successful night at Toad’s Place. Here are some physical and emotional traits to look out for:

  • Gets overly excited when “We R Who We R” by Ke$ha plays.
  • Mentions the QPac vs Yale rivalry as if that was a thing.
  • Is a member of the Lollipop Guild.
  • While mingling in the line outside Toad’s you find out her two favorite books are “L.A. Candy” by Lauren Conrad and “Decision Points” by George W. Bush.
  • He’s wearing a QPac t-shirt.
  • Glitter…in unexpected places.
  • Clothing…in none of the expected places.

Deciding Whether to Go Home with a Qpacker:

When making this decision consider the Golden Ratio.

Golden Ratio = (-1)*(Likelihood of running for future public office) − (How much your mom loves you) + (Number of people who currently respect you that are observing).  When Golden Ratio > (chances you have with actual Yale students), do it.

**Be careful about calculating this while inebriated. May have unwanted consequences.

Extra Handy Tip:

There is a guy named Kyle who is 41 and sometimes chills in the back left corner at Saturday Toad’s. Avoid Kyle.
