This is a sign that was on all the tables at the dining hall here at UNH today. Now, I’m no marketing genius, but it seems to me like 185 is an insufficient number to start applying peer pressure. If the logic here is “185 people have done X, therefore so should you!”… well I’m pretty sure at least 185 people have had sex with goats. Perhaps a more logical view is that they’re only considering the UNH student body, since the advertisement is only aimed at students, in which case they’re saying 185 people out of 5000(?). Which is a bit of a more reasonable percentage, even though not all of those 185 people are students themselves. Still though, 185 people have joined frats. 185 people have failed a class.
I guess the point of this post is that the fact that a group of people does something is not justification for doing it.
