the demographic of Franciscan University students that genuinely don't want the best for you. they are never there for you when you need and will eventually stop talking to you altogether. they also only talk to girls if they're trying to get something out of them. they never ask people to grab a meal as way of getting to know them.

The 5 is a very serious group of men, not boys. People might try to copy the name or start a false image. In the end everyone knows who the real 5 are and nothing could change that. Not even a bunch of girls who don't have a 5.
