that have been using the phrase "stay moral, go oral" to excuse sexual activity, how could it not be possible that there were BYU students who went to Vegas to try and "cheat" the law of chastity?

That urban legend has been around since LONG before the internet.

I was in the ward that did that.

that sounds believable to you huh?

The rumor dates from at least 1992-3 (when I first heard it in seminary)

You've got to figure that with the hundreds of thousands who have attended BYU

The only thing I question is that, to be honest, it was/is common for BYU

Very true

i never had a spring or fall break when I went to byu..... Not when I was there.

But the rumor was anullment, not divorce . . .

jkccoug

It goes back much further than that.

Yeah I was divorced 9 times in college. We made the Vegas trip quite a few times

Ceremony was at 31 Flavors?

they still have a fall break

Mr Bassman

8/23/14 9:47am

Really? They didn't when I was there.

eddog

8/23/14 9:50am

Thanksgiving Week was no break?

byujacob

8/23/14 9:52am

Most schools have a fall break in October as well.

eddog

8/23/14 10:02am

I don't think BYU has ever done that.

byujacob

8/23/14 10:15am

I was referring to the break between summer term and fall semester.

Mr Bassman

8/23/14 9:57am

I'm sure those two weeks are plenty enough to be a break.

Mr Bassman

8/23/14 9:58am

Most of the students are homeless during this period anyway.

No they don't. Thanksgiving break isn't the same as Fall break.

We always just stuck a racquet in our window. Much cheaper.

kccougar

8/23/14 9:51am

This is another great provo urban legend. Is there any truth to it though?

OlanchoCoug

8/23/14 10:23am

It's false because it happened at Ricks

KingDave

Haven't heard this one. What is it?

Before my mission, the stake president asked me if I had ever been married

Met an elder on my mission who had done this.
