What does this mean?

What the hell kind of celebate death camp have you signed up for? (It means "no dating"!!)

That does seem like an odd rule, unless you're at a seminary or nunnery.

What was the context?

― Miss Laura, Friday, 30 August 2002 11:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually, I think that's a rule (among many many others) at Bob Jones University
http://www.bju.edu/prospective.xml
Does a degree from this place have any credibility whatsoever?

― Miss Laura, Friday, 30 August 2002 11:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I should hope not.

Who'd want to fraternize with someone with their head in a box?

Some poking around revealed that they offer a Bachelor of Music in oboe-playing!

arf!!

perhaps this is a proviso contra Greek life?

maybe after ashley fucks the old woman and gets the oboe for his best girl, she can be sent packing to bob jones.

I don't think the place is even accredited, Miss Laura.

It's a rule at the martial arts school that I train at. I was wondering if it meant "no bonking other students" or "no making friends with other students" - but I'm too scared to ask anyone (not least of all because I'm too scared to make friends with anyone well enough to ask them in case I am breaking the rule by doing so).

Fraternisation means friendly communication that, in this context, isn't related to martial arts.

Sounds like a pretty fucking crap dojo, to me.

Also, Christian Universities are fucked up.

Probably that, and not "no making friends". There's a similar rule at the dojo that my husband trains at, and it was instituted because there was a guy there who ended up having one night stands with nearly every woman who trained there. The women would then feel resentful and end up not training there anymore = the dojo losing money.

You are, after all, talking about a college that barred intter-racial dating until three years ago.

Maybe the sensei reserves the right to fraternize with the students.

― DeRayMi, Thursday, 5 September 2002 11:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish I'd gone this university. It would have removed all the pressure to make friends.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 5 September 2002 12:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a friend who went there. He was a rebel and considered to be a bad seed because he wouldn't purchase a parking sticker.
