With a student population of 6,569, one might assume that Marist College has a rather diverse population.
However, the thousands of students at Marist can essentially be split into about ten different groupings. Of course, every individual has many different characteristics and cannot be summed up in a few sentences, but I'll give it a try anyway.
So, all in good fun, here are the people you meet at Marist College.
1. Srat Sisters
Likely to be heard saying: Something really cheesy about sisterhood.
2. Guys Who Sport
Even if you never attend a single athletic function, you will definitely know these guys when you see them.
The only time you'll see them not wearing team related gear (read: sweats) is at their formal. They can be easily spotted on campus by their red backpacks that seem to be irrevocably attached to their bodies. Guys Who Sport commonly refer to themselves as student athletes and are rather fond of "the grind" and using excessive amounts of emojis.
Likely to be heard saying: Something about how hard it is to be a student athlete.
3. Inhabitants of the Island
You could swing a stick around in the middle of The Rotunda and hit about seven people from Long Island in less than 30 seconds.
People from The Island can be seen driving around campus in gigantic Jeeps or Rovers that were gifted to them by their parents. You can also recognize them from their mandatory uniform of Vinyard Vines.
Likely to be heard saying: "Bagels and cawfee are so much better on The Island."
4. Fashion Majors
If the fashion majors of Marist decided to form an army and attack the rest of the student body, we'd basically all be screwed; there seems to be thousands of them.
Fashion majors definitely have a superior vibe going on. Have you ever tried walking into the fashion department as a non-fashion major? I don't recommend it. Members of groups one and three regularly cross over into fashion major territory.
Likely to be heard saying: Something about how hard fashion is that no non-fashion majors will ever really believe.
5. Party Bros
This group, made up of a variety of different kinds of guys, is united by one thing: partying.
You may find athletes and frat guys within the Party Bros grouping. Party Bros live for
Likely to be heard saying: "You coming to the pregame?"
6. Party Gurlz
You probably only know them through Instagram and when you see them going hard at Union, but they're always around; you may have also seen them featured on Barstool.
A lot of these girls are also from The Island and they're all best friends with Party Bros. They're either great or terrible at beer pong and flip cup. You might have seen one of these girls in class and totally didn't recognize them as the same person you saw doing body shots in a Snap Story.
7. Hipsters
They're all way too cool for school and have no problem telling you just that. Their degree of hipster-ness is directly correlated to the number of weird, artsy, grainy, and random pictures on their Instas. Hipsters may be harder to spot on campus as they typically spend a lot of time abroad or hanging out on someone's porch.
Likely to be heard saying: Something about how much greater things are wherever they went abroad.
