MU SYR?

I was talking to a 12-year-younger MU alum and mentioned SYR .. Screw Your Roommate.    They didn't know what it was.

(SYR was a dance, where your roommate set you up with a date.  I imagine 95% of the setups were by roommate request, but what do I know.)

Did SYR dances die off in 90s?

Yeah but, screwin' your roommate in 2024 has taken on a 'hole new meanin', aina?

Had never heard of it until this thread.

I thought this was short for Symir Torrence.

Do not remember this back in the 70's

One of my favorite Marquette memories was a SYR date from the Fall of 1987. Whenever I see the unfortunate woman who got set up with me, we share a laugh or two about that evening.

OMG, I completely forgot about SYR. 
I remember participating but recall no details.  Will have to dig deep in the memory bank on this one.

Frankly, I think SYR should dominate colleges, like have one every other week.

I think the introversion and shyness (due to social media) is 10x what it was decades ago.   Make SYR a common thing, a match-making thing.   Maybe students would be happier.

Never heard of it, class of 75. Thought this was going to be a  discussion about playing Syracuse.

If both parties wanted to participate, it could be fun.
If not, well, would be very forgettable or unforgettable in a bad way.

Making your roommate watch that god awful Syracuse zone certainly is screwing them.
