Hokie Harlem 

The Upper Quad at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. Hokie Harlem is the neighborhood of the famed Corps of Cadets at VT, as well as several unfortunate civilian souls.

Characterised by depressing brick buildings, instead of the traditional Hokie Stone found elsewhere on campus, Hokie Harlem is probably not as shady as the name implies, but nevertheless is not the kind of place one feels comfortable strolling alone at night.

Close proximity to the Tech electrical plant adds to the general skeeviness of the place.

Shultz dining hall is also located in Hokie Harlem.

*shudder* I just took a shortcut through Hokie Harlem. I had my Mace in my hand the whole time.

homie harem 

It's a group of men who surround a rich or generous man, often a pro athlete or professional musician, who pays for booze or their gear, who genuflect in response. It's a more informal entourage.

While he's making his wife cook and clean at home, he's hanging out with his homie harem, picking up the bill.
