Sacred Band of Thebes

An army comprised of 150 pairs of homosexual lovers. The army won every battle until it was finally defeated by Philip of Macedonia and his son Alexander the Great. When Philip saw the lovers dead side by side, he wept and said, "Perish any man who suspects that these men either did or suffered any thing that was base." He then buried them with honor. Plato wrote about their code of ethics.

"If there were only some way of contriving that a state or an army should be made up of lovers and their loves, they would be the very best governors of their own city, abstaining from all dishonour, and emulating one another in honour; and when fighting at each other's side, although a mere handful, they would overcome the world. For what lover would not choose rather to be seen by all mankind than by his beloved, either when abandoning his post or throwing away his arms? He would be ready to die a thousand deaths rather than endure this. Or who would desert his beloved or fail him in the hour of danger? The veriest coward would become an inspired hero, equal to the bravest, at such a time; Love would inspire him." Plato: "Symposium"

sacred heart university

Sacred Heart Univeristy is a small, private Catholic University located on the boarder of Fairfield and Bridgeport. Despite the stereotype of Bridgeport, the area surrounding SHU isn't bad at all- it's actually really safe and you're really close to everything you need, including malls, inexpensive stores, and housing in nice areas that isn't half as expensive as Fairfield. The student body is primarily white, except for a few athletes, and usually come from NJ, NY, Long Island, CT, and Mass. The people are well groomed and usually good looking. You always see a familiar face around, and everyone is pretty friendly to one another- the school spirit is strong. Sacred Heart is a division 1 school in the northeast conference. Going out to clubs and bars can get pretty pricey, considering the most common form of transportation is taxi's/trains and being well dressed is a must, but it's always fun. If you're not so much into the club/bar scene, it's not hard to find a local house party going on. The school is pretty expensive, and the prices of food are ridiculous. Some of the rules are pretty stupid, but if you're decently smart you can get away with anything. The SHUttles take you to the trainstation, mall, grocery store, etc. so you really don't need a car, though it does come in handy. Though it's not an Ivy League school and you don't need to be in the top 5% to get admitted to Sacred Heart, if you don't do your work you won't be able to stay. The reputation of Sacred Heart is a rising one, and the internship/job opportunities they offer are amazing. All in all, if you get your work done you and do well you'll have a good future ahead of you and have a lot of time to have fun, too.

Sacred Heart University a small catholic school with a growing student body and reputation.

Convent of the Sacred Heart

A school located in San Francisco that is full with a background of different people. Not all of the people there are filthy rich, most of them are on financial aid or on a scholarship. Apparently, known as "The Whore House on the Hill" by haters who judge the school by its cover

Convent of the Sacred Heart is full of either nice people or snobs, you just have to meet the right ones.

Sacred Toilet dance to the Goddess Urinal

The Sacred Toilet dance to the goddess Urinal is the dance one performs when waiting to use a toilet that is already in use by somebody else.

To perform the dance one cups their genitals in both hands and hops from one foot to the other whilst at the same time banging on the door to encourage the occupant to hurry up.

If the dance is performed correctly then the Goddess Urinal will grant you the privalege of hurrying the occupant plus helping to minimise seepage and accidents.

"Dude where's Tom?"
"He's doing the Sacred Toilet Dance to the Goddess Urinal, he's been there for 10 minutes now."

sareyah

Amazing, kind-hearted girl, who normally only wants the best for people. She can be really shady though and you don't want to get on her bad side. Other than that she's an amazing friend. She's absolutely beautiful and any guy is lucky to have her. Any girl named sareyah is meant to be with a guy named "Jasper" or "Ethan" Oh did I mention she's HOT

"Yo Sareyah is so fucking beautiful it's ridiculous."
