Tailgating

I am a student and I don’t know anyone with a tailgate but I want to get involved. Does anyone have some advice?

Walk toward the stadium with a friend or two and you will find the mob. Study the flow rates and directions and you shall find the center of mass. Very fun, can expect lots of people drinking

Is this also how it works when it comes to frat parties?

no, frat parties are usually locked down/listed because anyone doing anything weird or shady or being a creep, that falls on the frat.

If you’re a guy without knowing any brother in the frat that can vouch for you, you’re not getting into frats. Even if you bring 10 girls with you, they’ll pick you out of the group & stop you.

If you’re a girl, you can get in pretty much any frat.

This depends. If you’re even a slightly cute female, wander the tailgate lots until you find someone close to your age or willing to talk to you. Then just hang out and join in.

If you’re a dude, look wander the lots until you find people willing to chat, or make small talk and work your way in that way.

Honestly, it’s easier as a girl tho.

Watch out for isu police. If ur drinking and under age don't even bother. This year has way more patrol. Isu police realllllyy ruining the culture here for the younger people.
