We're number 1! But where's this Bikini Hill?

According to Radar Online, USC is the most superficial university in America! Yay us!

You can get the details here, but there's one thing I'm not sure about:

"When it's hot outside everyone goes to Bikini Hill and lies out," reports another student. "Not a good place to be ugly."

Admittedly I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but isn't the campus still fairly flat? Is this some new innovation that came along with all the campus renovations and updates in the late 90s and early 2000s? And if it is, why haven't any of you who are local to USC provided any evidence?

Please, do share

I have to pick my girlfriend up from campus there after her MBA classes on occasion. If this place does exist, I’m more than happy to…uh…research it….while I’m waiting for her.

On second thought, maybe not.

Its in the newish quad area

by the freshman dorms and PSX. The small long hill just west of the parking structure. Sunny Sunday afternoons see that place covered in sunbathing students who are “studying”.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

Bikini Hill

AKA Mc Carthy quad. A large Hill east of VKC (The building with the tall globe thingy on top) is a sight to behold on a hot lazy weekend.

This neck of the woods?

So, on the right side of this picture then?

Note conspicuous absence of bikini-clad sun-bathers. It was late June, though.

I never took any pictures of this phenomena

that seems kind of creepy. But seriously just go there on a Sunday afternoon especially mid/late spring Semester. McCarthy Quad will be crawling in sunbather at that point.

Bikini-Hill

That’s where you buried all the fat sorority sisters. Didn’t you know?

Amusing article but even I thought it was a bit lacking in the reality department.

I've heard of bury my heart at Wounded knee

So you’re saying this is like bury fat Kappas at Bikini Hill? Doesn’t sound like much of a rallying cry, frankly.

I've been down to Expo Park

and that area many times. Where are the hills? More importantly, where is this legendary “Bikini-Hill?” I would like to see it.

If you read the comments of the article, a Kappa explained the letter—which apparently was done for purposes of humor and to which this article relied on as fact. The former Kappa said that the Kappas were sorta beefier plain looking rich girls and that the rival sorority were size 2-3 girls. This seems like the more logical explanation.

That was probably the problem

I strongly suspect that it never occurred to anyone that a sorority member from USC might actually have a grasp on irony, and everything spun out of control from there.

As for hills, I’m with you on the frailty of the description in topographical terms. More like a large-ish berm. But I’m quite sure that this is a scenery / no scenery quibble.

um

Well when I left in 07 there were definitely no fat Kappas to speak of… the hill is mostly a Freshman phenomena, most upperclassmen tended to only go to McCarthy Quad for the library. Tanning in front of the student body seems like a pretty freshman move anyway.
