Boston College's modular apartments. The central party area on campus - popular activities include 24/7 parties, table dancing, tailgating before games, and general insanity. Rumors go around every year that they'll be torn down, but they never are.
"Yo, man, let's go down to the Mods to drink free shit beer and make bad life decisions."
"The Mods were rocking last night! I could hear music all the way from Lower!"

Get the the Mods mug.Modest Mouse is, to be quite honest, the greatest band of all time.
They hail from Issaquah, Washington, and are fronted by Isaac Brock, who, despite being raised in a trailer park, has written some of the greatest lyrics in music.
They became widely known when, in 2004, they released Good News For People Who Love Bad News, which is more upbeat than their earlier work, and it's songs (Ocean Breathes Softly and Float On) began being played by every radio station in the US, at least one an hour.

Get the modulator valve mug.The simple requirement that everyone must dress modestly.
The objective of mandated modesty is to assimilate the culture with traditionalist ideals. The way the masses dress can often be reflective of the state of the culture... in today's age, the typical American will wear sweatpants, graphic t-shirts, 3XL shirts, revealing clothing, awful looking shoes, and so on... These examples serve as a representation of a society that is lazy, depressed, overweight, promiscuous, obsessed with consuming, and ultimately without a purpose- the antithesis of excellence.
This idea is similar to the "broken window theory" regarding that the appearance of the surrounding environments can influence the behaviors of those within that environment. In essence, people will act in accordance with the beauty -or lack of- in their environment.
The low-IQ explanation: Requiring people to "fake it until they become it" to improve the culture.
