Drexel 

Share definition Flag
Drexel is a university with an extremely small campus. We also live in the shadow of UPenn, but as a nice consequence some of our programs are integrated with ours, so we basically get Ivy League services without actually going there.

Utilizing the co-op system of working as an intern for companies during some semesters while taking classes in others makes your resume virtually unbeatable, since employers seem to value "past experience" far more than your actual degree.

Our mascot is the Dragon, Mario the Magnificent. So not only is he named after one of the greatest video game characters of all time, our mascot is a dragon. A freaking dragon, people. We'll burn your ass.

Our basketball team is t3h awesome but the NCAA judges don't like us, thus our lack of appearance in brackets. We lack a football team, which is better because people actually pay attention to other sports besides it. If you want football so bad, go buy some fucking Eagles tickets or flip on the TV. They're right over there, at the LINC.

Drexel > Temple > Everyone else.

Drexel puts great emphasis on its engineering, science and business programs. Nearly all the spending goes there. Art students are almost a different entity at Drexel; you have to look pretty damn hard to find them.

NOTE for potential applicants; Drexel's Physics program is EVIL.
1. Drexel University > Temple/Upenn, Ooh, an OWL! We have a fucking DRAGON, BITCHES!

"Drexel Basketball with another great season, folks! Too bad no one will admit that we are just hella better!"

Drexel Shaft; happens all too often.

A loser. Typically someone who tries really hard to succeed, but ultimately fails. Most of the time, Drexel's don't deserve their failings, it just happens.
"Hey Jim, did you hear Calvin stayed up all night studying for his Chemistry test, but still got a D?"
"Omg He is such a Drexel."

The term "Drexel Shaft" stems from the now-demolished fountain that was outside what is now North Hall. The name stuck, and then referred to the smokestack on top of a SEPTA and UPenn-owned building in the trainyard visible to anyone in Drexel University's campus. The smokestack was demolished on November 15, 2009

the Drexel Shaft became analogous with the "shafting" Drexel students receive from the administration personnel (or lack thereof) and all-around cost-to-graduation rate of the school.
Drexel Student 1: "fuck dude, I got 4s on over 3 AP tests and Drexel didn't give me ANY credit."

Drexel Student 2: "you just got the drexel shaft!"

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
