Suggestive of Stupidity

Ah! Berkeley in the fall time. School's just started. Confused freshman running amock with their heads buried in campus maps. Old friends reuniting after a summer of being apart from each other. And amidst all this positive energy is the one downer that plagues year-round. The stupid people out recruiting for their stupid groups that no one but stupid people will join. Of particular note are the idiots from illicit fraternities and sororities walking around Sproul Plaza as if they were in a bad rap music video from the late nineties, projecting an image of "cool" that no longer exists. It is these dumbshits that I will choose to focus my rather concentrated anger on for today. This is a topic I've remained silent on for a couple of years now, primarily because the issue was nothing more than a minor annoyance that nagged me every autumn and then stopped as soon as rush week ended, but finally I decided that I could be taciturn no longer. Something had to be said!
