I’m A Frat Boy At Wikiversity!

As someone who did his college years a bit later than most (I was a 39-year-old freshman) I missed out on the whole Frat Boy experience. No wild parties, no pledge week, and no naked Twister.
But now I’ve got a chance to get in with the cool kids.

I’m now a frosh at the Wikiversity, and I’m hoping that there’s a virtual frat that would take me. I’ve got my sweater, pennant, and I’m writing the spirit song. (It’s hard to find positive words that rhyme with Wiki — icky, picky, Dickie, persnickety — so it’s taking longer than I planned.) But the tuition was right (free) and I can attend in my robe and bunny slippers.

Wikiversity is a Wikimedia Foundation beta project, devoted to learning materials and activities, located at www.wikiversity.org. Wikiversity’s beta phase officially began on August 15, 2006 with the English language Wikiversity. There are currently five language Wikiversities – English, French, German, Italian and Spanish – and new language Wikiversity projects in other languages are in development at the “beta” multilingual hub.

Go take a look, and let me know if you’d like to be in my fraternity. Our motto is “Abutebaris modo subjunctivo denuo”. (You’re gonna have to Google it — and you get one virtual credit for the correct answer.)
