What is Hampden-Sydney?
Hampden Sydney is a lesson most Sweet Briar women first semester freshman year. They then move on to REAL men, not boarding school rejects who rely upon their family's money and H-SC alumni connections to advance in life.
In the words of Longwood bitch: "Helping men with small dicks get married since 1776."

Hampden-Sydney - what is it?
Hampden-Sydney is the school where wealthy (most of the time) men send their sons when they cannot get into a better school. Brains and credentials aside -- if you have a thick wallet, you are most certainly welcome at Hampden-Sydney. Those of us in Virginia know that if you can't get into a good school, you go to Longwood or Radford instead. Hampden-Sydney is an upper-class version of the previously mentioned schools. So overall, if you want to pretend you go to a good school, but can't really get into one, go to Hampden-Sydney instead.
HSC Student: I go to Hampden-Sydney! American Citizen: Oh. You (probably) have money, but I'm sure you're lacking in the brains department.
HSC Student in denial: HSC is the best private school on the east coast.
Someone who knows what they're talking about: No it's not, fool.
HSC Student in denial: Oh really? Name one.
Someone who knows what they're talking about: How about 20...
What does "Hampden-Sydney" mean?
Hampden-Sydney is an all male school located in southern Virginia. WASPs dominate the rural 500+ acre campus. Men come to HSC to earn an education, but not just any education. An education that prepares each student for leadership and sucess in every sense of the word. Sucess in the financial, social, and athletic realms of life. The atmosphere at HSC has been compared to that of a private Country Club. The major difference between HSC and a Country Club is that the students who pay an enourmous amount of money to attend the school often have little power concerning legal and social affairs in the community. The corrupt board, administration, and faculty use the students to their advantage for their own self interests. This has often been said to be one of the only negative aspects of the community; however, this is a very big negative. Honor and tradition come with the price of a corrupt group of adults in power. If students had more of a voice, this community would be ideal for any WASP of the south east. The party scene is dominated by a variety drugs and alcohol. Women come to the school searching for their future six figure man. The key word here is searching. Good luck women. If this schools corrupt minority would let up just a hair, this would be the ideal community of rich, athletic, honorable, and scholarly gentelmen of the south.
If you want to be a sucessful, powerful, and influential leader in the world, I reccomend that you apply for admission at Hampden-Sydney.
Hampden-Sydney - what does it mean?
If you wanted to go to a Southern school, but Duke and U.Va weren't for you because they've enrolled too many "coloreds," and, besides, you had a 670 combined SAT and 1.9 GPA from a random Virginia day school, you're headed to Hampden-Sydney. There, you and a group of like-minded Abercrombie & Fitch-sporting retards can whittle away four years drinking, listening to Creedence, banging skanks from Sweetbriar, drinking, and pretending that the South won the War of Northern Aggression. You can also pretend that the fact that you're wearing a cowrie shell necklace under J. Crew flannels makes you rebellious, that the fact that you're wearing a "Fighting Cocks" baseball cap makes you witty, and that the fact that you attended HSC will make you a useful and productive member of society. If you don't ever want to face the fact that the world expands Westward of the mighty Mississippi and northward of the Mason Dixon line, HSC is a great place to start putting your head in the sand and your thumb up your ass.
Speaks for itself, don't it?
Hampden-Sydney - meaning
Hampden-Sydney is a place where guys with good taste, and old money go to college. These are your guys in the pink polos, the bowties, the Brooks Brothers and Vineyard Vines. Most if not all own at least one copy of the Preppy Handbook. They pop their collars, smoke only the finest of cigars,rock and not only buy and sell most men, but also drink them under the table. Sydney men have their pick of girls from the surrounding private women's colleges; R-MWC, HU and SBC in descending order of class.These are guys in transition of becoming Drs., CEOs, Lawyers and politicians. These are real men. These are Sydney men.
Miffy-Muffin, I have met someone..he's tall, clean-cut, and well-endowed in all the senses of the phrase. You'll never guess where he's from!
Muffin-Girl, that's a Sydney man, you can always tell.
Hampden-Sydney - definition
Hampden Sydney is a place where tradition lives and girls wish. You have to be hot to get with an HSC, but you have to be cool to gain their respect. And no, dressing like a hooker doesn't make you cool. If you listen to cool music (not Dave Matthews Band), have a laid back attitude, and know how to just hang out rather than pretend you're something you're not, then you're in. Otherwise, get the hell out. I'm sick of the fake girls that come to this school--- we can see right through it, even if we do fuck you.
The football games at Hampden-Sydney are not a fashion show. Dress up, yes..but do it because of the tradition, not because of the competition.
Hampden-Sydney - slang
A place for men who like to have a good time while still concentrating on their studies. All "Hamsters" (a deurogatory term used by those who are jealous of our upstanding status as men and not boys) indulge on the weekends, and work hard during the week. If students don't do this, they are unable to stay in; and to be honest, Hampden-sydney men don't want them there.For those people who ostrasize H-SC for being rich, for the most part, it's true. But why be critical of being born into something. Ignorance is something that H-SC strives to cure. If people are offended by our staus and our confederate flags, it probably means that they are just to ignorant to get it in their heads that stereotyping people is just one more sign of the plague of ignorance that H-SC tries to cure. So if you dont like to have fun, hate getting ahead in life, strive to eliminate relationships based on pure assumptions, or feel the need to compensate for one's own shortcomings by degrading and being condescending to others, HS-C is not for you.
Hater 1:Hey those HS-C guys are lame, Let's go snort lysol and pass out. Hater 2:That sounds like fun.Hater 1: It can't be nearly as much fun as drinking beer and hanging out with our girlfriends, which is surely what those Hampden-Sydney guys are doing right now.
Hampden-Sydney
Hampden-Sydney is an all-male college in central Virginia that sustains its anachronistic community on the premise that all HS-C men are Southern gentlemen. Generally, the Hampden Sydney man is rich, white, Southern, conservative, and preppy. He is given vast freedom to live as he wants at the college based on a unique concept: personal honor. "A Hampden-Sydney Man shall not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do." He tries his best to live by that mantra. It is a fact that Hampden-Sydney is a world unto itself, where public partying is a facet of campus life. The average HS-C man drinks gallons of beer per semester, uses tobacco in some form, loves to hunt, fish, listen to rock and roll (ie Widespread, 80's bands, Southern rock, jam bands), dresses well,(Polo, Lacoste, etc, with camo ball cap), has a hot girlfriend, and fully expects to live well. Note: the campus is an island of wealth in a sea of poverty; with that wealth comes great excess at times. It is true that because of the personal freedom (and wealth), frequently HS-C men get away with a lot of things that are plain illegal. But the true HS-C man is at heart a Southern boy, honest and friendly, chivilrous towards women, with a code of honor that words cannot define, a sense of brotherhood that spans decades, and hospitality as warm as Makers' Mark. He is what he is, and he likes it that way. Take him or leave him.
Macon Game Tailgate, 1975:
Joe: Hi, sir, I'm a freshman.
Alumni: Really? Nice to meet you son, have a beer!
Macon Game Tailgate, 2005:
Freshman: This place is cool as hell!
Alumni Joe: Yes it is son. Have a beer!
Hampden-Sydney
An all male college in South West Virginia where uniforms are required. Shaggy hair, rainbow sandals, Hampden-Sydney ribbon belt (with the school crest), and a pastel color collared shirt or polo (popping the collar is an added option to the uniform). Many men keep their rifles at school with them. The school is the society boys of the South East they have WASP heritage though they tend to also hold strong southern values. (Note the confederate flag found in most dorm rooms). The boys vary in intellectual abilities, but frequently have large bank accounts, high-class cars, and know which silverware to use. They stick their noses up in the air but not because they are snobs... and when you see the head go back and the sniffles begin you know they're prepared for a weekend of no sleep. The men frequent courses such as Wine Tasting. Hampden-Sydney is its own isolated world where alcohol consumption by minors is basically encouraged by police. The men spend Monday-Wednesday concentrating on their studies and Thursday-Sunday having sex and drinking.
Officer: Excuse me son, Is that beer in your left hand opened? And what is in the cup in your right hand?
Student: Well sir, the beer is un-opened, and the cup contains a brown liquid that looks quite similar to Coca-Cola... I assume that is what it is.
Officer: Well son, you are standing on the road, so why don't you step up five feet to the grass and I suggest you chug that beer and enjoy your coca-cola looking beverage.
Hampden-Sydney
An all male college in southern virginia founded before the revolutionary war. A hampden-sydney man is white, rich, well bred, conservative, and drinks more beer than water. It is also fair to say that most Hampden-Sydney men get more play than any other group of guys in America. Sydney owns.

second girl: Whoa, he must have an enormous apparatus.
girl: Oh dear yes! And a comparable bank roll!
second girl: did he just kill a keg?
