Rina
A 'rina ('rino being the male equivalent) is a dancer at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet http://www.cpyb.org/summerprograms.htm whose summer session is held on the same campus in Carlisle and typically coincides with the first 5 weeks of CTY. Selected for their ability through a process of comparable rigor to the admissions process at CTY, the 'rinas are also rumored to enjoy the perquisites of computer access in the HUB and superior housing facilities. A history of tension between the camps has in recent years caused the CTY administration to forbid interaction between CTY and CPYB students, a policy that has unfortunately generated further inter-camp misunderstandings, such as the rumor that circulated during second session '03 that the 'rinas thought we were an adolescent drug rehabilitation center, which likely originated on Drag Day or a similar eccentric ritual.
Rinos are suprisingly also defined as republicans in name only which i guess means they are.
- new person talking here* i have been both a carlisle CTYer and a rina (2 different years) and: nobody there is republican, or at least nobody I knew, which was a lot of people.They think CTYers are hyperly-smart-nerd-type people. which is sadly mostly true. Rinas get better dorms, unlimited internet/computers/tv's in our rooms, no real lights out time, no mandatory fun, only actual fun, and can go off campus whenever. Although drag day is percieved as a bit wierd. did you know that lots of the rhinos are gay?
