Dorm Cancels Tea, (Don’t Say and That’s the Tea, Just Don’t, It’s Too Easy)... and That’s the Tea

A shocking development from Southside earlier today: an unidentified girls’ dorm has opted not to hold its annual dorm tea. Said a resident faculty member, “You know, it just dawned on me: where did this tradition come from? It just seems to be something we’ve just assumed we would always do, because that’s what happens in other dorms.”

Added a proctor, “It seemed like a weird thing, it’s a somewhat expensive dorm event we take for granted.”

Most of the dorm, caught by surprise, was not pleased. “This means no gratuitous Instagram photos in sundresses, with over-used tea puns and jokes about how our dormmate is our real date,” complained a Lower.

“No spring is complete without playing Spikeball in grass-stained J-Crew shorts,” agreed an Upper.

Even students outside anti-tea dorm expressed their surprise. “Some dorm is getting rid of its tea? Gee, this place will be a mess once I’m gone,” said Senior Miranda Derossi. “But that’s none of my business,” she added, turning and taking a swig of tea.
