17th Street Soldiers 

Share definition Flag
An urban street gang in Orange County, California.

The name 17th Street Soldiers, derives from the main road running directly through the Tustin/ Santa Ana area, although they don't limit to this street.

Neo-nazi in some aspects, 17SS has been known to take agression toward opposing races. Those races being primarily Blacks and Mexicans.

Not yet extremely well known, 17SS originaly formed in late 2006 after a few inner city kids got fed up with seeing their home turf get trashed by violence and gangs.

Originally "FYF" (fuck your freedom) meaning that it doesnt matter what anyone says about the freedom given to minorities to come and go as they please, and that it is ok in society but that its frowned upon in the underground.

The heads of the now 17SS crew are known as the GK or graveyard krew. Unless you are a founding member of FYF, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get to the rank of GK.

FYF/ 17SS is run under a strict and structured hirearchy which promotes and demotes members accoring to a strict set of rules. As one climbs the 'ladder' he, or even she (its very rare that women are inducted into the gang) is let in on more tactical and sensitive information.

Like in most gangs, some members are given "shorts" or nicknames, in an effort to hide their immediate identity. Names such as pYRO and hAVOC have been linked to the 17SS and are both looked at as apparent heads or GK in the gang.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
