Everyone hates studying, but more studying = more results.

Everyone hates putting the time into pomping, but pomping = bonding experience with sisters and a prettier display. You get out what you put in. What else do you expect people to do for HoCo? And it's always a competition to see who can do better.

Yeah it's time consuming and it gets boring but it does look really cool at the end of the week.

The alums love seeing it too. It is to a new level! Incredible!

Because no one can be the house to stop it. If one sorority decided to not be the ones to make a decoration, they would look bad. It would be so much better if all the sororities decided to get together and stop. They just keep getting bigger and bigger and it's exhausting. This year homecoming is in the middle of midterms and no one is gonna have time to study because they'll be wasting their time in the sorority house scrunching up pieces of tissue.

This is the dumbest thing ever. Think of better, more productive bonding activities. Do community service, bake cookies, plant flowers,... The time spent on rolling up tiny pieces of tissue paper is ridiculous. Stop this campus wide or at least limit the size. I can't believe the sororities and university sanction this activity. It's hazing!

Hazing? Hardly. It is what it is. A competition that takes hours and hours of time.

It's absolutely ridiculous that girls are being forced to sacrifice their grades in favor of rolling up freaking tissue paper.

I HATED pomping when I was a student here and I HATE that my daughter has to do it now. "The alums like seeing it" until their daughter comes home with horrible grades on her midterms because she was pomping instead of studying.

Only moms hate pomping.
And it's hazing only when one group of people is singled out to do something. The entire chapter participates in pomping.

It's almost a rite of passage. Pomping is the best!
