To the upperclassmen: remember the November rule. Don't be a sleezeball right off the bat...

The November rule was created by assholes who want less competition with the frosh.
Fuck it, all's fair when you want to bust a nut. -

The November Rule makes a lot of sense.
signed, a frosh who broke it. -

^ #3 is an example of another stupid girl that gives way to the cheesy/sleezy pieces of shit that hit on women younger than themselves because they can't handle the ones in or above their classes xD. Preying on the week is for losers, not players. Enjoy your easy girls, bitches. Leaves more good ones for me to flirt with :)

@13, the idea that you're not supposed to date/fuck a (pre-)frosh until November 1. It's supposed to make sure that the frosh makes his own friends and is not reliant on you when the relationship inevitably ends.
I broke the November rule (during orientation...) and did just fine. -

Upperclasscritters are not allowed to sleep with or have relationships with freshmen before November 1st.
This avoids a couple of pathologies:
1) Consider the fact that when someone just arrives on campus, they initially probably have no friends. But, within a few months, they meet people in classes and activities and build a support network. Now consider what happens if they get into a romantic relationship with an upperclasscritter's soon after arriving. It is going to be easier to hang out with that upperclasscritter's friends than to make your own. Then, when they break up, most of the freshman's friends know him or her as the upperclasscritter's SO. Consequently, they lose their support network during a breakup. This sucks.
2) To give freshmen guys a chance, given the tendency in American culture for women to date slightly older men.
3) To prevent people from being taken advantage of. I'm unclear on how much of a problem this is, given that the freshmen are mostly adults. However, there are some that come from rather sheltered backgrounds.
I anticipate disagreement on these.

This seems like a tragedy of the commons situation. Those of you who are moral and just and abide by the November rule leave the poor vulnerable Freshman to unscrupulous characters who have no compunctions about diddling doe-eyed first years. This leaves the youths with a much worse experience than they would normally have had.
I'd like to hear a course 15 or 17 opinion on the situation. -

how about a course 14

I am course VI, but I definitely agree that without enforcement, the Nash equilibrium here seems like it is to break the November rule. However, this also acts as a signaling mechanism: If all the frosh know about the November rule, an upperclasscritter who hits on a frosh before November can be identified as a sketchball, and thus to probably be avoided. Thus the horny upperclasscritter has a sexual incentive to avoid hitting on frosh.
However, there doesn't seem to be anything that prevents them from responding to the advances of a sexually aggressive frosh, who will clearly not be thus creeped out.

I think the November Rule should be exempt for course 5ers since we have too many virgins already. Every little bit helps!

@19--Here is a course 5 perspective on the situation. Freshman are like neutral organic compounds that have a reactive "relationship" center. Mature upperclassmen are like sterically hindered nucleophiles that might just deprotonate that site, and potentially even make a freshman more soluble in MIT's matrix. Immature upperclassmen are like unsterically hindered, hard nucleophiles that attack every possible "relationship" center that they can, adding themselves across however many delicate "relationship" bonds the frosh can handle in an irreversible reaction that causes the frosh to change and become likely less soluble in MIT's matrix. The November Rule is like running column chromatography on the situation: the freshman, certainly less polar than the MIT-soluble, upperclassmen nucleophiles, are separated from the reaction mixture and given time to undergo certain necessary spontaneous rearrangements that will make them more stable and more MIT-soluble.

@18, 19, and 20 Whoops, sorry, I forget there are many ways to approach the problem. Those were the majors that first came to mind when I thought about the problem.
@20 and 22 Awesome.
