Since actually being named “Transylvania University” apparently isn’t publicity enough, the Delta Delta Delta sorority chapter on hand at the presumably lovely so-named institution in Kentucky (because, where else would vampires wants to live?) decided to hold, and thankfully videotape, their annual belly flop competition.

Now, a few things. Yes, the college is actually called Transylvania University, and since “Transylvania” i just Latin for “across the woods,” no, this isn’t just another example of society’s recent and annoying infatuation with pale blood-suckers and romantically-confused young women who love them. Second – belly flops!!! Wooo!!!!\

The video runs a curious three and a half minutes in length, which is about 75% too long considering half of the jumps are lame and a quarter are done by dudes. But there are a few gems in there, and there’s nothing quite as full of Schadenfreude and humor as watching a stranger willfully impose pain upon themselves for the approval of their classmates and the Internet.

Does anyone else miss college as much as I do?
