Yeah, rules. Nobody likes 'em, but we need 'em. These aren't rules so much as they are guidelines... If you stick to them, you'll be fine!

• 1) Don't be that guy: Follow the rules that dictate proper roleplaying etiquette. This means the typical rules, including no godmodding (without permission), respecting the GM and other fellow roleplayers, all that good stuff.
• 2) Bring your own story: This is college... So, by nature, the story is basically a sandbox. It's hard for me to conceive a long-term storyline goal for this RP, because there are so many possibilities. We make our own story. Let our unique characters shape how the story flows, how drama develops, how time passes.
• 3) Use common sense: Your character can do just about anything in the realm of possibility... If they have a car, they can drive other places. They can skip class. They can do drugs. Whatever. However, please try to be realistic with these things. Speeding down the highway may get you a ticket. Skipping class too much will lead to failing grades or a loss of scholarship. Smoking a joint in public in broad daylight will probably land your character in some legal issues. Just use some common sense, and you'll be fine. I'm not gonna be too nitpicky on this, though.
• 4) Try to be tolerant: This RP will contain such themes as sex, profanity, drugs, and violence possibly. Please consider these before joining.
• 5) What I say goes: I'm not perfect, but I'll try to maintain this RP to the best of my ability. Please, don't complain about any changes I make. If you have any issues with another player, don't bitch them out in the OOC; bring up the issue with me or sort out your diffrences in PMs. If I decline your application or kick you out, please respect my decision. Thank you.
• 6) IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to congeal the story a bit, I ask that all characters created be freshmen and be in a Greek organization. You also can't create a football player. SORRY! <3

Since I have zero idea about how to generate an actual map of the campus, and also due to the fact that the campus is relatively large and making one in detail would take an excruciating amount of time, I decided I'll just give a more, er, liberal, written description that will be up to interpretation by all of you.

Caligo University is best known for its outstanding football program, but its second best-known quality is its beautiful campus. The architecture is Greek-inspired, meaning there's lots of columns and a sense of grandeur to the school buildings. The sidewalks and paths are wide and the campus as a whole is spacious and spread out, yet not overwhelmingly sprawling. Beautiful deciduous and pine trees dot the campus along with a few fountains. Dividing the campus into northern and southern halves is Pinnacle Pike. North Campus houses the majority of the academic buildings, as well as a few cafés and restaurants. South Campus houses the on-campus dormitories and Greek houses and various areas for eating, recreation, and leasure. In the center of both North Campus and South Campus are the North and South Quads (wide open fields with trees where students can relax, sunbathe, play football, etc.) Just slightly to the north of North Campus is Styles-McCoy Stadium, the campus football stadium. Running north-to-south on the western edge of campus is the Hascatee River.

The university of located in the town of Caligo. Caligo is a rather cute small town, with small shops, great restaurants, and a very welcoming atmosphere. However, there is not much to do do directly outside of town—it's mostly open land and country.

Here I'll include various bits of information about Caligo University that may come in handy if you need to reference this later.

Football is everything in the South, but I understand that due to the population that is on the RPG, football may not be a favorite. That is okay. There will be a football game (home or away) every Saturday in the fall semester. If it's a home game, we won't roleplay during the game itself. We'll time skip and I'll give a quick (and fake) game summary for those who care. That's it.

FULL MOON!

Greek life is a key social factor at Caligo University... For togetherness purposes, I would like all of you to be part of either a fraternity or sorority. There are other chapters on campus, but these four are the most well known.

Fraternities (boys only) often host exclusive parties (date parties) or swaps (parties with a specific sorority), usually but not always at their fraternity houses. Sororities (girls only) cannot have parties at their houses.

Incoming freshmen who want to join a certain Greek organization will have to go through rush, which is basically visiting the houses and getting to know the members. (Usually for fraternities, this means going to a few parties at the house. For sororities it is usually more formal and doesn't involve partying.) If they like you, they'll give you a bid, or an invitation to join. If you accept your bid to a certain organization, you'll then go through an eight-week pledgeship period. For boys, this means having to wear certain clothes, doing a plethora of favors for the already-initiated active members of the fraternity, and going through "team-building exercises" (AKA hazing... yes, it happens. This doesn't have to be narrated though!). For sororities, pledgeship is much easier. Usually girls are given odd set of rules to follow, but they're irrelevant, so for the purposes of this RP, girls don't have to do anything. Wholly, pledgeship is supposed to solidify your bonds with your other brothers/sisters.

For convenience, we'll assume all characters in a Greek organization have already accepted their bids and have started pledgeship.

The point of Greek life is brother/sisterhood and philanthropy! There are fundraising events in the forms of parties sometimes.

NOTE: PLEASE DON'T STICK TO THE "FRAT/SRAT" STIGMA!!! Not all fraternities are filled with douchey, ripped, party- and sex-obsessed "frat bros," and the sororities with Starbucks-guzzling "srat hoes." They're really just normal people. In fact, I personally know plenty of guys in fraternities who are quirky/nerdy/relatively normal, same for girls in sororities.

For freshmen, bids should've been secured the summer before school starts, so when you move in, you can live in your Greek house. (This also saves me the trouble of inventing a shit ton of residence halls.) The Greek houses are basically mansions where all (or most) members of a Greek organization live. They have rooms, a big dining area with chefs that cook meals throughout the day, all that wonderful stuff.

Here are the Greek organizations you can be a part of:

Fraternities
Gamma Kappa Chi (ΓΚΧ), also known as simply "Chi." (pronounced 'kye')
Sigma Sigma Tau (ΣΣΤ), also known as "Di-sig."

Sororities
Theta Zeta (ΘZ), also known as "Oz."
Gamma Alpha Mu (ΓΑΜ), also known as simply "Gamma."

There's no real difference between the fraternity chapters or sorority chapters. Just pick one whichever you like better. The two fraternity chapters can be thought to be "rivals," the same with the two sorority chapters, but it's not like some kind of feud.

Name: Titus Aultmann
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Greek Organization: Gamma Kappa Chi
Hometown: Stanton, GA
Major: Chemical Engineering



Personality: Titus is, for the most part, a good person. He holds respectable morals and treats others how they treat him. He’s a little quiet around those he isn’t familiar with, but he’s a pretty loud and energetic kid when you get to know him. Despite his initial shyness, he loves meeting new people and forging new friendships, even with those outside of his fraternity. He likes to crack jokes in his slight Southern drawl. At parties his personality can vary; he’s either loud and the center of attention or he’s more subtle. It depends on how much he drinks and how his mood is. Titus is a loyal friend, not likely to talk shit behind someone’s back or ditch a friend in his or her time of need. Even if he may like to pick on you, he never actually means it. You can tell when he gets mad, which only happens in intense competitions or if someone continues to treat him poorly despite him being nice or not having done anything to provoke said person. If you do manage to get him mad, though, you might want to keep your distance.

Short History: Despite being born and raised Georgia, Titus and his family have always been Caligo fans (as his parents attended school there). Growing up as the older brother of two sisters, Titus never really had much problems in the family. He had a bullying problem when he was in middle school, but after being advised by his friends to stand up for himself, Titus got into a fight with the bully and won, earning him a suspension from school. Though his parents were upset about the violence, they couldn’t be too mad about their son overcoming adversity. In high school, Titus decided to play football. He was good but not outstanding; he didn’t want to play football in college anyway. Rather, he preferred to attend a college that had a great team, and what better school than Caligo University? After making decent grades, Titus await his acceptance anxiously, but to his delight, he got accepted. Over the summer he made several visits to the campus for Greek rush and decided to accept his bid to Gamma Kappa Chi. Now he’s all ready to start his new life.

Other: Not that I can think of.
