Welcome to the Mess

Well, here it goes.

I'm just going to start off by giving some basic, relatively known, or even unknown, facts about Otterbein.

There are roughly 3,000 students enrolled. In comparison to our neighbor, Ohio State University, we are teensy tiny. There are more girls than guys, and more gay guys that straight ones. Blame the theatre program for that stat.
Majority of the students are from neighboring towns and cities. The other half is from far out of state, alot of Texans it seems. No wonder they came here, a gay from Texas? Don't blame you. Columbus is very much a gay friendly city. So welcome.

Otterbein is generally a friendly community. There is a place for everyone, from the overly righteous Bible thumpers to the football players who drink and smoke way too much weed to the nerd who would like to spend more time in the library or in their dorm. Is everyone accepted? Hardly. Tolerated? Definitely.

Yes, there does happen to be a Greek community here. It's quite brilliant, all locally started, except one that claims to be part of a national frat. Whatever. Each fraternity and sorority does typically have their own "stereotype". It's annoying to talk about, but they all are relatively true. That will be saved for another day.

Kathy Krendl, our oh so beloved President, I kind of want to throw something at her every time she walks by. I can't tell if she's doing a good job or not, I'm too focused the OPD patrolling campus like it's a God damn police state. Thank you Krendlkins. In the three years I have attended this school, I have yet to see a specific need for any sort of police force here on campus, but apparently we students aren't anything but pot smoking hooligans and want to drink and pillage the perfectly manicured neighborhoods for sex and drugs. Oh wait, that's kind of true.

Well that's my intro. I'm off to a track meet to support my best friend, and at the same time hate myself for not being nearly at anatomically perfect as half the participants.
