Sick of the Social Scene

The social scene here is pretty redundant. There are only 4 bars, but one of them (West End Station) is more popular than the rest and normally attracts a rather large crowd on Wednesdays and Thursdays. However, the cover charge is ridiculous ($5-15 for under 21 and $3-5 for over). And normally I feel like I've wasted my money because I'm there for 2 hours and it's not that fun. Also, Elon is a dry town so they only serve beer and wine. Ladies, don't expect a guy to ever buy you a drink because that is basically unheard of and Elon gentlemen are virtually nonexistent.

On the weekends there are fraternity parties, but they are normally over crowded and many of the guys are not very nice unless you are a huge slut. The buckets/juice at these parties are extremely sketchy and I have heard of some fraternities putting Xanax, ruffies, or niquil into the juice that they make/serve. If you want a drink or a beer from the keg, you will probably have to wait in line for 20 minutes and then deal with people who seem extremely reluctant to even give you a cup.

Every weekend is exactly the same, and while it is easy to have fun at first, after you get used to the parties it is very common to get burnt out or bored. Many students even say that they don't mind going away for a weekend because they don't feel like they will be missing anything that they can't experience again the next weekend.
