And you thought the Greek system had its priorities out of whack. For shame.

Sorority girl: There's something wrong with all of the other sororities. They're either ugly or nobody likes them really because they're too high-maintenance. But the guys pretend to like them. But really they don't. But all of the frats like to party with my sorority because we're so pretty and fun to be around and fun to party with. We're their favourite. It's because we're so down-to-earth.

-- UC Hill, overheard by Vidya

Bringing a whole new meaning to "Playing shirts and skins"

Girl #1: I don't know... I worry about these shorts when I play soccer. I feel like they ride down when I run, which may reveal some sort of jiggle...
Girl #2: Whatever; everybody has jiggle. Even the skinny girls. No jiggle means no skin, and would you really want to play on a team with someone with no skin?

That and being harder to kidnap.

Girl: I can't swim to save my life.
Guy: Me neither - I'm the slowest person ever. I have my bronze medallion, though. That's the weird thing. It was just me and this fat kid in the course together, and he'd always lap me on the timed swims.
Girl: Well, he probably floated more effectively than you did.
Guy: You're right. Fat kids do float better.
Girl: I know. That's their advantage.
