I don't know about anyone else but when I tell people I go to SDSU they tend to give me a look. I can tell they're thinking, "But she doesn't look like she goes to a lot of parties." Someone once even asked me, "So does that mean you've done cocaine?" Playboy even published lists of the nation's top party schools in 1987, 2002, 2006, and 2009 and SDSU was on the list every year. At one point, one of the fraternities had a nationally recognized pool party and one fraternity made international news over alleged sexual harassment late 2014.

If you go to SDSU then you know this is not what our school is all about. For everyone who says SDSU is just a party school, show them this list.
