Stefanism
Origin
Once, many moons ago, at SAR.06.2, there was an RA named Stefan. And he was awesome.
Many of the kids in Stefan's hall were in International Politics. In class, they watched the movie "Gandhi". They soon believed that Stefan was the reincarnation of Gandhi. (The original thought was that Stefan was the reincarnation of John Lennon, who was reincarnated from Gandhi, but due to conflicting birth and death dates, this could not be true. Pity.) The students believed that a religion should have been made around the G-man, but since society had missed the deadline, they decided to make a religion centered around the next best thing - Stefan.
During SAR.09.2 Stefan ran around during the last night trying to get people into any room so they wouldn't be caught by the SRA during ISOs. He used a water gun to help. He sprayed me while I was in the bathroom. --XxILoveCTYxx 20:57, 8 August 2009 (PDT)
(Yeah, he squirted me too, and took some of our food so he wouldn't have to report us to MIke Katani, an SRA.)
So a daily was held where many a CTYer gathered and formed this revolutionary religion, and thus, Stefanism was born. We even have Commandments!!!
Commandments of Stefanism
- Non-violence
- No discrimination to anything
- Be respectful to yourself & all other people/beings
- Be kitschy
- Thursday is a day of rest/shananery
- Use Ghandergy wisely (energy of Gandhi)
- Props to nature (props = give proper respect)
- Shall not take off lanyard except when thou showerest or thou sleepest (the words of Stefan himself)
- Cleanliness is next to Stefanliness
- Pray towards Seattle (Stefan's from Seattle.)
- Be forgiving to others and yourself
- No punishment, only enlightenment
- Live by your personal truths
- Use "doot" when appropriate (I think it's kinda like w00t, except with a certain "d"-ness quality to it. I'm not entirely sure.)
- Do not use Stefanism for your own personal gains
The Spartans
S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S (Super Popular Angry Rambunctious Tree Adoring Noodle Slurpers) were an infamous band of CTYers that reigned Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, Second Session, Jae Vick's Hall, July-August 2007. Summer of '07, they all attended Crafting the Essay B. They were the creators of many inside jokes, such as "Chamber of Secrets" and the nefarious chant, "MY HEART BELONGS TO CTY, IT WILL NEVER DIE" that was often heard echoing around camp. The speakers were as follows, in order per word: Christina Helm, Amanda Ho, Jarry Lee, Monica Burnett, Anca Dogaroiu, Pushpa Neppala, Haydn Welch, Annie Field, Laura Tims. They conquered most of CTY through many bloodthirsty acts of war, like singing "Be A Man" nonstop, and repeatedly mispronouncing the word "ethereal." They enjoyed terrorizing the ducks by the duck pond, barking at Julio, being moose, making fun of the Jesus/Snape-look-a-like nevermore Aidan Bonner, studying graham crackers, and finding sexual innuendo in Harry Potter. Several of them had a certain affinity for duct tape (but then again, so did everyone else). They will be back (except for Jarry Lee, who is a nomore). Be prepared.
