On friday, September 19th, one of the sickest parties occurred & it was all due to poor planning & over inviting people. While it was going on & I was watching what was going on around me, I oddly enough did think of Jarhead [which is kind of odd.. Usually my weekends, or at least the start of them, do not consist of me thinking of school =P].
I was in the midst of people, all bumping & pushing into one another, & it was like guerrilla warfare. Makeshift groups of individuals would pop out of no where & hit you accidentally because they were grinding too hard or they were just too drunk & fell over their own feet. I know Swoff & the STA were scout/snipers, but I could imagine them looking through their scopes at this mayhem thinking "Shit, we have to kill some of these bastards to save our own."
Then whenever people werent attacking you while dancing, there were random people making out & trying to do something horrible. It just reminded me of how all those guys were sleeping with whores & stuff, knowing full well they had girls at home. It made me wonder does a change of scenary merit doing what they do? Like, just because they went off to war, does that give them the right to screw around & hurt their significant others like that? You're at a party with a few beers, does that make it alright to randomly do what you're doing?
Then lastly we did our Heidi, a fun ol' chant of sorts that always caps the night. How everyone acted while doing it made me instantly think of the field fuck. Heidi is meant to be for fun & the field fuck kinda is, too, but deep down it has much more provocative meaning to it... Ours is just for shits & giggles.
All & all, was a Hell of a time. I'd do it again, even if I did think about Jarhead while going there.

Rob: C'mon: The Heidi?!?!?! You are playing with parallels very closely to the idea of the marine--except you are in a fraternity that has no life and death ramifications while the STA's does. Seriously, take a moment and look through your actions and then the actions of the STA and think about the connections. But go a step further--what do you think is okay with Swofford's actions and what do you think of as reprehensible? And does the fact that he is in a war situation matter? [I’m not saying it does or doesn’t] Then think about your own actions and what you think is cool or okay and what is not on your weekends--and does the fact that you are in a fraternity at ST. Francis and not in a war situation matter?
I like the fact that you are connecting your actions to the book but go further and think through your actions more carefully....
