Losing Virginity in Frat House: Not As Romantic in Retrospect

Amy, in her dorm room, on the 'most important night of [her] life.'

University Park, PA-- Amy Chronister (junior - broadcast communications) reminisced about her freshman year today, recalling the frat house incident in which she lost her virginity as "not quite as romantic as it seemed at the time."

             She recalled the fantasies she used to have about her first time. "Ever since I was a little girl I'd dreamed of the night I would 'become a woman' while slumped on the floor of a dank, smokey frat house."

             Amy's roommate, Stacey Merrill (junior - business administration) also recalled the night rather vividly. "I remember it like it was yesterday, me and Ames did a little pre-gaming in our room and then we headed out to the Halloween party at Alpha Phi Delta."

             Witnesses stated that Alpha Phi brother Nick Sweitzer (sophomore - marketing) was "all over her the minute she walked in the door." Nick's frat brother Jason Erp (junior - telecommunications) claimed to have been too drunk to remember much of the night, but added "we don't call him 'The Dawg' for nothin' ya know."

             The Dawg had opted to don the guise of Austin Powers for the evening, allowing him an excuse to use bad pick-up lines like "Hey baby, wanna shag?" and "Oh, you don't have any British in you? Would you like some?" "At first I thought he was just playing the part," said Amy "but when I saw him slip two roofies into my Long Island iced tea I knew that October 31st, 1999 would be the long-awaited night of my deflowering."

The Dawg House; the romantic setting for Amy and Nick's Halloween encounter.

             After dancing rather obscenely for a few songs, The Dawg invited Amy to his upstairs room to "talk without having to shout." The Dawg popped some CD's into his stereo and poured two shots of Ice 101. When "Crash" by Dave Matthews Band began, The Dawg seized his opportunity. "He gave me this look, kissed me, pushed me onto the bed, and took me" recalled Amy. "I just lied back and enjoyed it. Afterall, this is what I'd been waiting 18 years for. Eminem and DMB were playing, the room was bathed in a pale purple glow from a blacklight, and his futon smelled of stale love juices. It was so romantic, or so I thought at the time." Amy later added, "Now that I think about it, it was really kinda shady." The Dawg could not be reached for comment.

             Close friends claimed that Amy had a steady boyfriend for 2 years in high school but insisted on saving herself for "a shady frat guy." Amy's ex-boyfriend Trent Preston noted "For the longest time I just thought she was conservative... now I know what a wackjob she really was. I mean, two years of sexless dating and she has a one-night stand with some random guy?"

             Despite the admitted shadiness of the encounter, Amy did not express remorse. "I'm don't regret it, but would I do the same if I could live it again? I just don't know."
