The Alphabet Game

For some reason everything in college can somehow relate to hooking up. This leads to there being multiple games and techniques in order to make hooking up more of a sport. In a previous post, the idea of "hitting every sports team" made the concept of hooking up something competitive.

Another one of these games is called the "alphabet game". This game requires the knowledge of the first letter of each guy's name that you hook up with. The goal is to have a guy for every letter, and in order to do so you have to look for multiple guys and be careful about what guys you choose to hook up with in order to fill up all 26 letters in the alphabet. If you aren't careful, you end up getting repeat letters, which doesn't help win the game.

The "alphabet game" also is like a mini social network. In the movie, Facebook is a network created to meet new people and keep in touch with your friends. This game is just like this in the sense of it being like a little network that gets created among everyone based on the mission to reach people with a certain letter for their first name. This is also similar because some people on Facebook have a goal to have a certain number of friends, while in this game there is a goal to get a certain number of names to win the "alphabet game"

Some people get so intense in this game that they try and get certain letters by any means possible. Rumor has it that one girl really wanted the letter "X" and devised a plan to get it. She planned to go to a party and yell out the name Xavier, and then look around for someone to turn and acknowledge this as their name. Yes this plan is a little drastic, but whatever works right?

This game is all about giving people an excuse/goal in relation to hooking up with people, but do people actually play this game?
