The mixture of confidence, political-mindedness and neurosis within Georgetown men is a veritable Molotov cocktail of personality traits, which can be triggered to explode by both academic debate and debauched social gatherings.

5. If he wears his Patagucci like it’s a uniform.

6. When Chad is the name and ghosting is the game.
