Sacred Band of Thebes 

Share definition Flag
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"

There's no honor among Thebes

What detractors say to discredit the ancient Egyptians. In reality, the citizens of that area were little different statistically from folks elsewhere in the world at the time... there were the nice ones, and then there were the not-so nice ones.
Anybody who believes that there's no honor among Thebes hasn't read the history books --- it was a typical "mixed bag" of people, just like with civilizations everywhere.

Theresa is also very popular and whenever she walks down the hallway someone will always say hi or ask how she is. She has loads of amazing features such as her curves and her gorgeous eyes. Theresa’s usually have long hair and are average in height. She is an absolute keeper and if u loose her u will instantly regret it. Also she is the best girlfriend u could ever ask for!!!

Therese

Therese is one of the most sweetest people that you will ever meet. At times she will be insecure but you just have to keep reminding her about how beautiful she is. She is super super talented and has a bubbly personality. Sometimes through her contagious smile it’s hard to see what she’s actually going through. But all she needs is a hand up. If you have a Therese in your life you better love and cherish her forever.
Person 1: “Omg it’s Therese !!!!”
Person2: “Finally some light in this room.”

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
