The term "Drexel Shaft" stems from the now-demolished fountain that was outside what is now North Hall. The name stuck, and then referred to the smokestack on top of a SEPTA and UPenn-owned building in the trainyard visible to anyone in Drexel University's campus. The smokestack was demolished on November 15, 2009

the Drexel Shaft became analogous with the "shafting" Drexel students receive from the administration personnel (or lack thereof) and all-around cost-to-graduation rate of the school.
Drexel Student 1: "fuck dude, I got 4s on over 3 AP tests and Drexel didn't give me ANY credit."

Drexel Hill is NOT a "small town." Shippensburg is a small town, Drexel Hill is a neighborhood in Upper Darby Township and part of the highly-populated and crowded Philadelphia area. Located 10 minutes west of the City in Eastern Delaware County, Drexel Hill is a well-respected and overwhelmingly Catholic area. "D-Hill" has more bars per capita than any other city, although it is easier to grab a bag of weed than a beer. There is ghetto Section 8 housing as well as luxurious mansions. Drexel Hill is a great place to live.
"A neighborhood of neighborhoods"

"My neighbor to the left has a rusted car on his back lawn and drinks Budweiser all day, while my neighbor to the right is a Jewish lawyer."

The grading scale used by Drexel University male students to rate females for potential hook-ups. Often used at parties, and consulted upon in a group.

This is necessary due to the outrageously bad guy-girl ratio, which in itself is not accurate due to the number of international students and other non-party types.

For the full Drexel Experience, one must pull out from anal sex, followed by the female defecating in a sock (an action facilitated by the male partner). A Dirty Sanchez ensues then a New Delhi Dot follows. The male then smacks the female across her face with the Gym Sock (that was made) because she deserves it for not making you a sandwich prior to the sex. Once all of this has been completed, you have had in all its entirety The Drexel Experience.
Guy 1: I gave a girl The Drexel Experience last night. She thought it was kinky.
Guy 2: Wow she is nuts.
Guy 1: Yup, Fucking skank.
