Pointless

Every morning I walk through the center of campus, an area called College Green, which contains some large sections of grass, among other things. This is an area, for those of you unfamiliar with the campus, that contains the main library, a large button sculpture, a large statue of Ben Franklin, a miniature "LOVE" sculpture, several large, Ivy-League-looking buildings and "The Castle", a frat house that literally looks like a castle. For the last few mornings, there have been college kids "camping out" on the green, either hanging out on a big tarp, or relaxing in folding chairs outside a big tent. Usually, these things are some kind of charity work, like, "We're sleeping outside to raise money and awareness for the homeless", or "We're pedaling our stationary bike for 48 hrs nonstop to raise money for kids with cancer" or some type of raising money/awareness for some bad situation. These people have no signs. They have no information sheets, no flyers to hand out, nothing. The women have Coach purses and Macbooks, designer jeans and high heels and look a little bedraggled from being outdoors. The men have aviator glasses on, wearing designer ripped jeans and polo shirts, and are constantly checking their Blackberrys. Alex and I have postulated that perhaps they are all pledges for fraternities or sororities? But that doesn't make sense, since the Greeks would be all over them for hazing. Nobody knows...
