Theme House of the Week: It’s a Mystery!
I walk into my (probably not up to current building codes) theme house, and am greeted by various pieces of artwork, posters and decorations. Normal people might be confused by the all of this stuff, but not us. We’re different! As I head to my room, I sigh and laugh at how quirky my theme house is; that’s just how it is here! We’re alternative! And we’re here to provide that alternative SLU living to other students on campus and most importantly, ourselves.
The first thing that you need to know about us is that we’re unique. We have a lot of random piercings here, and it’s not just the girls. The GUYS have piercings too! Have you ever heard of something so revolutionary? Sometimes we have dyed hair. Some of the girls have really short hair. Some of the guys have really long hair! It’s our own little “fuck you” to society.
We also do stuff that sometimes you know about! Most of the times you’re like “What?” But that’s fine, because even when you do show up to our activities, you’re mostly just excluded. Not totally, but there’s enough inside jokes to make you feel uncomfortable enough not to join in again.
Our members are really passionate about our themes, no matter what they be! We desperately think of ideas to resonate and get the general campus to come ~hang~, but when you walk around and ask, most people don’t really know about us. But that’s their problem! They’re just going to have to miss out on our sweet and hilarious antics, and our passion for basic social justice issues that don’t go below the surface level!
So, next time you’re feeling like you’re much more special than everyone else on this campus and looking to be constantly validated in your beliefs and questionable personality, come visit our house! We’ll soon enough welcome you into our bubble after you feel unwelcome for a little bit OwO!
