whats an eating club?

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh yeah sorry, it's the system my school has instead of normal Greek life (frats/sororities). There are 10 eating clubs which are essentially huge houses, students join an eating club the 2nd semester of their sophomore year and eat there during their upper class years.

Eating clubs are where you eat your meals but they are also where all the parties are. On any given night you can find an eating club on tap with people drinking/playing drinking games and all of them are on tap on Thurs/Sat. This weekend is one of the formal/semi-formal events that every eating club has and they are [censored] awesome, so much good booze, food, bands, and partying it's ridiculous.

I should also note that we do have frats and sororities but they don't have houses, the school disowned all frat's and took over the houses so we had to go underground. Greek life is still popular but there aren't any houses.
