This is absolutely not a true statement:
This might seem unlikely at a place like W&L, which the Princeton Review has dubbed the campus most nostalgic for Ronald Reagan, a place where alternative lifestyles are not an alternative.
That is absolutely not true. Alternative lifestyles were common when I was there. Not everybody was a Conservative - a good number were Libertarians. Not every window had the Battle Flag - some had the Stars and Bars. Not all thought Reagan was the best president - some liked Nixon or Bush the Elder (and some were way out there and liked Teddy Roosevelt). Not everybody joined the Federalist Society - well, okay, that was mainly because it was redundant. Not everybody joined a fraternity - they didn't rush law students. See, there was plenty of diversity while I was there.

Oh, you mean that kind of "alternative lifestyle."
