A: Um. Sort of? If you were born in the eighties?
Q: This isn't funny.
A: Cut us some slack. We've just been killing time for 108 years waiting for you to show up.
Think The Band is your only opportunity to wear stupid clothes at Stanford? Think again. 
At The Chaparral, it's not just men who get pizza! 
Not all Chappies go on to ride superbikes, but...we'll let this picture speak for itself. 
As the only completely flame-proof building on campus, the Chappie Office is a great place chill out on a Wednesday evening and forget about the grim specter of pyro-terrorism.
