The Honor Code

This might sound a little rude of me and like I'm judging people but whatever. I don't really care.

BYU-Idaho has an honor code, a stricter honor code that BYU. In order to get in you have to sign a paper saying you will follow the Honor Code. That means, dear people, that you should actually follow the blasted Honor Code! Yes, it can be a pain. The fact that you can't wear capris or shorts is irritating once the weather is not butt freezing cold. But honestly, you signed it. You promised to follow it.
Here's the list of things that are not allowed and when I see people on campus or around campus doing it it irritates me:
Thigh length skirts with dotted nylons
Tunic length skirts with legging or jeggings (jeggings are NOT pants)
Being completely shocked when I wouldn't cross the Chastity Line in a guy's apartment (that is just stupid. You don't need to think I'm such a goodie two shoes or think that it's weird. It's what I'm supposed to do!)
Other obvious dress code violation especially when it's ugly
Frequent curfew violation- I've come in a couple minutes late, I have also been half an hour late once when we went to Idaho Falls. It's when roommates are in Rexburg and especially with boyfriends that it irritates me.

And there's it's for right now. It just bothers me that people don't seem to care that they promised to do something and then they completely ignore it.

  1. I completely agree with you Christy. Follow the honor code, even though it seems like no one else does. You'll be better off for it.

    And any guy that is shocked that you wouldn't cross the "chastity line" isn't worth your time. If they can't follow simple rules about not having girls go in the bedroom areas then how are they going to follow the hard rules?

    Judge all you want :)

  2. Thankfully, it was a girl at the guy's apartment that was surprised I wouldn't cross the line. He knew I wouldn't. She was being irritating about it and walked right past me into his room. That was weird and I was really uncomfortable. So I went into the living room.
