Students Reflect on Very Confusing Green Lights on Campus

From November 6-12, multiple buildings on campus were majestically bathed by neon green light. This unusual event prompted widespread confusion and countless theories from students that don’t read Chapman Notifications emails (everyone). Different theories included:

  • Great Gatsby reference (English lit students)

  • Lorde reference (gay students)

  • Environmental Science students were tricked into thinking their degree was being recognized as important for once. That one’s definitely wrong.

  • I thought about Baby Yoda, but I always think about Baby Yoda

  • Beta thought it was St. Patrick’s day and some unpaid pledges made Canva invites for throwing “Slutty Green Party” at Firehouse

  • Two shuttle drivers thought the green lights meant “Go” and drove all over Memorial Lawn

  • Christmas?

The lights were meant to celebrate veterans despite most veterans on campus having no idea what they were for. Some were, however, reminded of the night-vision they used in combat and promptly relived some of the darkest moments of their lives. Way to go, Chapman. Way. To. Go.
