Chucks

A thick layer of “frat sludge” covers every fraternity basement at Wake Forest. This grey-tinged mixture of alcohol, mud, and god knows what else leaves less-than-desirable stains on footwear. So what’s a party girl to do?

Invest in a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors. At least, that’s the solution Wake Forest's Greek women turned to. 

With sororities on campus embracing their newest members, expect to see a few more pairs of chucks running around the frat scene. 

As a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, I don our signature blue chucks. At least, I used to until four years of sludge turned them an awful dirty gray color. Now I'm stuck debating if it's worth it to buy a new pair with one semester of college left.

Readers, what do you think? Will I wear my favorite chucks in the real world? Or should I leave this tradition in college alongside 8 a.m. classes and all night dance parties?
