History VisualNovel / BeingADIK

* NoBisexuals: Well, no ''male'' bisexuals, anyway. While several girls in the cast are willing to engage in threesomes with other girls (though admittedly we also see Leon and Jamie in Episode 1 planning to have a threesome with Arieth, but that relationship has a ton of HoYay), and [[spoiler:Josy and Maya]]'s relationship, both with each other and with the MC, is central to the story, this comes up with the Episode 7 revelation that [[spoiler:Chad was cheating on Sage with Troy]]. Telling Josy about this has her immediately assume that [[spoiler:Sage had been TheBeard all along]] and that he has always been gay, not considering that he may have been [[spoiler:cheating on Sage]] with a guy instead of a girl. Admittedly, the narrative does indicate that [[spoiler:Chad]] is probably indeed just [[ClosetGay closeted]] rather than bisexual – [[spoiler:if you tell Sage, she reveals that he often had "dick problems" and a lack of interest in her]] – but neither the MC, Josy, nor [[spoiler:Sage]] seems to even consider the possibility of him being bisexual.

* BrilliantButLazy: Derek doesn't seem stupid, but he certainly has little to no motivation to do anything related to school other than partying and having a good time.
* BullyMagnet: You, especially in the beginning of the story.

* FunWithAcronyms: Delta Iota Kappa, known as the [[ADickInName DIKs]], who often engage in [[FiendishFraternity dickish]] FratBro behavior. Also Eta Omicron Tau, known as the [=HOTs=], the only sorority on campus.
** Isabella tells the story of how, when she was in college, she had pledged the sorority Omega Mu Gamma. Lampshaded by the MC and Jill immediately, who cannot stop laughing about Bella having been a sister of OMG.

* TheGadfly: Lily.

* {{Polyamory}}: [[spoiler: In the end of the first season Maya, Josy and the MC can start a throuple relationship]].

* WackyFratboyHijinx: Your initiation into the [=DIKs=] centers around this, with the first task being to steal a pair of panties from the [=HOTs'=] house. Once the MC and Derek are confirmed to be maggot brothers, they are tasked with having to complete a series of ridiculous, seemingly impossible tasks that are written on a pledge board before the end of Hell Week. For perspective, these include:
** Drinking 100 beers.
** Washing cars while wearing speedos.
** {{Streaking}} through the mall while wearing masks.
** Wearing a helmet with a dildo taped on top of it.
** Giving a wedgie to a nerd. [[spoiler: The MC can pay Magnar to accept being wedgied; if he doesn't, Derek will wedgie his roommate Bert only to get a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.]]
** Having a stripper sign your penis. [[spoiler: Envy will sign the MC's penis if he gets a private dance with her, and Derek's penis otherwise.]]
** Get slapped by three girls. Two slaps are unavoidable (Cathy slaps the MC during the streaking, and Envy slaps Derek during the first visit to the Pink Rose), while the third is dependent. [[spoiler:If the MC puts his finger in Lily's ass during the first visit to the Pink Rose, she will slap him; alternatively, if he helps Camila and Mona with their task by giving them his underwear, he can ask them to slap him in front of the [=DIKs=]. If he doesn't do either, Derek will count as having got the third slap from Wendy when he interrupts the feminist rally while drunk.]]
** Having sex outdoors. [[spoiler:If the MC accepts the weed from Tommy, he will have sex with Quinn on the rooftop of the DIK house (Jacob sees the two while taking a leak); if he doesn't, sole credit for the task will go to Derek when he [[SlapSlapKiss has sex with Wendy in the bushes after the aforementioned slap]].]]
** Pranking the Alphas, accomplished by the MC or Derek messing with Dawe's shaker.
** Having sex with a teacher. [[spoiler: The MC will get credit for this if he has sex with Jade and shares the video; if not, Derek will seduce an elderly schoolteacher during the car wash.]]
** Having sex with a feminist. [[spoiler: Derek having sex with Wendy counts for this; the MC will share credit if he has sex with Jade and shares the video with the [=DIKs=].]]
** Egging the Preps. [[spoiler:This is the one task the two aren't able to complete before the end of Hell Week. Although Rusty tells them that completion of all the tasks on the board isn't necessary during the evaluation, the two manage to do it anyway after Derek sets off the fire sprinklers during the Preps' party.]]

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: It is unclear where Burgmeister & Royce, or indeed the town in which the MC grew up, is actually located, though it seems to be located in a somewhat interior part of the United States (which may mildly alleviate the game's MonochromeCasting) relatively close to the west coast, given that San Diego is accessible by train but is not close enough to the town for regular visits.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: All over the place, as expected. Besides the strippers' costumes ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin unsurprisingly]]), the most notable example is the [=HOTs=]' outfit, which combines a tiny spaghetti-strapped crop top and a very short skirt. Notably, it is lampshaded during the first [=HOTs=] party after the new sisters have been accepted, where Ashley says that wearing it makes her feel like a stripper; hilariously, fellow new sister and professional stripper Lily retorts that she would be fired for being overdressed if she wore something like this to work. It also shows up during the Dungeons and Gremlins game (though the visuals for that, admittedly, are taking place in the MC's imagination) and [[SexyWhateverOutfit the Halloween party]] in "Vixens".

It also shows up during the Dungeons and Gremlins game (though the visuals for that, admittedly, are taking place in the MC's imagination) and [[SexyWhateverOutfit the Halloween party]] in "Vixens".

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Averted with Derek and Maya, the only pair of twins in the story.

* BiggerIsBetterInBed: For the most part, played straight (as expected in an HGame), with the MC's large member making him very popular among nearly every girl on campus. This is to the point that if the MC takes a dick pic [[spoiler:with Tybalt's phone in "[=HOTheaded=]"]] and is even moderately sexually active, several girls will be able to recognise it ''on sight'' when [[spoiler:it is shown on screen during Tybalt's dissertation]]). The only time it isn't played completely straight is with early sexual interactions with [[spoiler:Maya]], who finds it uncomfortable and intimidating; in her case, it's primarily because [[spoiler:the MC is the first man she is having sex with.]]

* ButYouWereThereAndYouAndYou: The visuals of the Dungeons and Gremlins game in Episode 6, as imagined by the MC, includes several members of the cast playing different roles, mostly so that he has the chance to seduce them. Nearly all of the main cast (and some minor characters as well) shows up throughout the segment, and not just the players (the MC, Maya, Josy, Jill, and Sally) but as [=NPCs=] as well. Notably, Quinn shows up as Moria, the woman hiding in the bushes at the start, Sage plays Princess Nadia, and Isabella "reprises" her role as the Ice Queen.
* CaptainObvious: On occasion, typically played for laughs.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: All over the place, as expected. Besides the strippers' costumes ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin unsurprisingly]]), the most notable example is the [=HOTs=]' outfit, which combines a tiny spaghetti-strapped crop top and a very short skirt. It also shows up during the Dungeons and Gremlins game (though the visuals for that, admittedly, are taking place in the MC's imagination) and [[SexyWhateverOutfit the Halloween party]] in "Vixens".

* BiggerIsBetterInBed: For the most part, played straight (as expected in an HGame), with the MC's large member making him very popular among nearly every girl on campus (to the point that if the MC [[spoiler:takes a dick pic with Tybalt's phone in "[=HOTheaded=]"]] and is even moderately sexually active, several girls will be able to recognise it ''on sight'' when [[spoiler:it is shown on screen during Tybalt's dissertation]]). The only time it isn't played completely straight is with early sexual interactions with [[spoiler:Maya]], who finds it uncomfortable and intimidating; in her case, it's primarily because [[spoiler:the MC is the first man she is having sex with.]]

* BottleEpisode: With the exception of the first part of Episode 1, a section of Episode 2, and smaller parts of other episodes, the entire story takes place at B&R or in the immediately surrounding area.
* BrickJoke: When roaming around the dorm during your first night at B&R in Episode 1, you can find a guy frustratedly shaking a soda machine after it swallowed his money. If you have 1$, you can buy him a new soda and he will thank you. In Episode 4, if you chose to stay with Derek, you can meet him again and he will repay you; in the subsequent conversation, you can recommend that he join the chess club to help with his anger management issues. He doesn't show up again for nearly all of Season 2, but notably, and seemingly unrelatedly, Prof. Hoff, the replacement math teacher after [[spoiler:Cathy's resignation]] has a black eye. The kicker comes in Episode 8: in the newspaper Tybalt shows off talking about his parents donating money to B&R, a side article can be seen talking about the soda guy, revealing his name (Benjamin Ingsfeldt) and that [[spoiler:he has been expelled from B&R following him assaulting Prof. Hoff after losing a chess game]]. This event leads to him not being in his room during the dorm party, allowing his roommate to make out with another partygoer where otherwise the two of them would have been playing a board game.

* CaretakerReversal: In Episode 2, Sage helps you recover from getting beat up by the jocks after you [[spoiler:spy on Chad in their locker room.]] Later on, in Episode 6, you can call her during an early free roam event, which will cause you to go take care of her when she's sick, assuming that you don't [[spoiler:bail on her for a date with Jill or that Jill isn't interested in you in the first place.]]

** Derek having sex with Wendy while drunk near the end of Episode 4 is played for laughs, being shown to the [=DIKs'=] amusement during the Hell Week evaluation as proof of completion of the pledge board tasks of having sex outdoors and having sex with a feminist. Unfortunately, this event does have fallout; Derek's budding relationship with Ashley is destroyed when she sees it – she can be found on the top floor of the Preps' mansion in Episode 5 weeping as Elena tries to console her – and she doesn't talk to him again till Episode 7 and gets together with [[spoiler:Anthony of the tri-Alphas]].

** Stephen Burke initially only shows up as a counselor at college during Chad's meeting and Jade's lecherous husband with the hots for Isabella. From Season 2 onwards, he becomes a much more significant character, being seemingly involved in [[spoiler:Quinn's restaurant, going so far as to singlehandedly revoke Mona's scholarship]], and turning out to be the father of [[spoiler:Tybalt and Sage]].
** [[spoiler:Vinny]] is introduced as a significant flashback character who was [[spoiler:Nick]]'s maggot brother and was instrumental in making the [=DIKs=] what they are today. We finally get a look at him in the present in the ending of Episode 8, where he is [[spoiler:supplying Tommy]]. He shows up at the Halloween party in Episode 9, [[spoiler:threatening Quinn for stealing his business and the MC for "stealing" his room]].

* CoolBigSis: Elena is this to Josy and Ashley after they joined the [=HOTs=].
* CoolLoser: You, if you don't go out of your way to act like the "popular" people but are still a good person in general.

** Notably, these minigames are both affected by and affect the story.

* NoBisexuals: Well, no ''male'' bisexuals, anyway. While several girls in the cast are willing to engage in threesomes with other girls (though admittedly we also see Leon and Jamie in Episode 1 planning to have a threesome with Arieth, but that relationship has a ton of HoYay), and [[spoiler:Josy and Maya]]'s relationship, both with each other and with the MC, is central to the story, this comes up with the Episode 7 revelation that [[spoiler:Chad was cheating on Sage with Troy]]. Telling Josy about this has her immediately assume that [[spoiler:Sage had been TheBeard all along]] and that he has always been gay, not considering that[[spoiler:he may have been simply cheating on Sage with a guy instead of a girl]]. Admittedly, the narrative does indicate that [[spoiler:Chad]] is probably indeed just [[ClosetGay closeted]] rather than bisexual – [[spoiler:if you tell Sage, she reveals that he often had "dick problems" and a lack of interest in her]] – but neither the MC, Josy, nor [[spoiler:Sage]] seems to even consider the possibility of him being bisexual.

* NoDressCode: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as the characters are in college, not high school, and so it makes sense that relatively few rules surrounding dress would be strictly enforced. However, some of the students manage to get away with [[VaporWear clothing that barely covers their bodies.]]

* OptionalSexualEncounter: Technically, ''every'' sexual encounter can be avoided barring those in dreams and in the [[spoiler:Zoey]] flashback.

* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Maya invokes this almost word for word when she runs into you and a completely naked Derek after you both got tricked by the [=DIKs=] and Quinn, especially when Derek accidentally uncrosses his legs and flashes her.
* PolyAmory: [[spoiler: In the end of the first season Maya, Josy and the MC can start a throuple relationship]].

* ContrivedCoincidence: Episode 3's ending reveals that [[spoiler:both Maya and Josy are in a troubled relationship...with each other, meaning both the girls he has been dating, one a girl with seemingly no connection to B&R who was working with the MC during the summer, the other the first girl he met at B&R and whose brother is among his closest friends, were in a relationship with each other with the MC not knowing anything, and both of them have independently fallen for him.]]

* HaremSeeker: You can be this, especially in a [=DIK=] playthrough, if you do everything you can to sleep with every girl you meet [[spoiler:(i.e. taking Quinn's number and buying all of her girls, sleeping with every [=HOT=] you can every time you can, partying hard with the strippers from the moment you meet them, making moves on every teacher, managing to get Jill and Bella interested even if you're doing a [=DIK=] playthrough.) This is subverted by the end of Episode 8, however, where the player must decide to either pursue a main girl or stay single (and potentially pursue other girls); pursuing a main girl will lead to all other girls being rejected.]]

[[/folder]]
* WrongNameOutburst: The straw that broke Jade and Stephen's marriage, as she tells you in Episode 4 if you accepted her advances beforehand, is that, one day, Stephen returned home from a successful business meeting drunk, took her to bed, and whispered [[spoiler:Cathy's]] name in her ear. This is a somewhat AmbiguousSituation, especially given that [[spoiler: Jade never confronted either of them for fear that it was true, given that Cathy is her closest friend.]]

* {{Stripperiffic}}: All over the place, as expected. Besides the strippers' costumes ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin unsurprisingly]]), the most notable example is the [=HOTs=]' outfit, a tiny spaghetti-strapped crop top which [[BareYourMidriff shows plenty of midriff]] and a very short skirt. It also shows up during the Dungeons and Gremlins game (though the visuals for that, admittedly, are taking place in the MC's imagination) and [[SexyWhateverOutfit the Halloween party]] in "Vixens".

[[/folder]]

* BiggerIsBetterInBed: For the most part, played straight (as expected in an HGame), with the MC's large member making him very popular among nearly every girl on campus (to the point that if the MC [[spoiler:takes a dick pic with Tybalt's phone in "[=HOTheaded=]"]] and is even moderately sexually active, then several girls will be able to recognise it ''on sight'' when [[spoiler:it is shown on screen during Tybalt's dissertation]]). The only time it isn't played completely straight is with early sexual interactions with [[spoiler:Maya]], who finds it uncomfortable and intimidating; in her case, it's primarily because [[spoiler:the MC is the first man she is having sex with.]]

* ButYouWereThereAndYouAndYou: The visuals of the Dungeons and Gremlins game in Episode 6, as imagined by the MC, mostly so that he has the chance to seduce them. Nearly all of the main cast (and some minor characters as well) shows up throughout the segment, and not just the players (the MC, Maya, Josy, Jill, and Sally) but as [=NPCs=] as well. Notably, Quinn shows up as Moria, the woman hiding in the bushes at the start, Sage plays Princess Nadia, and Isabella "reprises" her role as the Ice Queen.

* FullMotionVideo: All of the game's lewd scenes have this, as compared to the relatively [[BattleOfTheStillFrames still frames]] that tell the rest of the story.

* TwoTeacherSchool: Season 1 has Jade and Cathy as the only teachers at B&R, with Cathy teaching Gen Ed (English and Math) and Jade teaching Gender Studies, with Stephen as a counselor as seen during [[spoiler:Chad's disciplinary hearing]]. Later episodes do add more teachers, especially after [[spoiler:Cathy leaves B&R after the nude photo scandal]]; Gen Ed gets split between Prof. Philip Hoff, who teaches Math, and, of all people, Isabella, who teaches English (admittedly, she is qualified as a teacher, librarians are also teachers, and she had studied English in college). A few other teachers do show up outside the MC's classes, notably Dr. Schmidt, Tybalt's mentor; however, janitorial staff aren't seen on screen, with the only indication of such duties being performed being the tri-Betas and the MC helping with the library for fraternity funds.

** Get slapped by three girls. Two slaps are unavoidable (Cathy slaps the MC during the streaking, and Envy slaps Derek during the first visit to the Pink Rose), while the third is dependent. [[spoiler:If the MC helps Camila and Mona with their task by giving them his underwear, he can ask them to slap him in front of the [=DIKs=]; if he doesn't, Derek will count as having got the third slap from Wendy when he interrupts the feminist rally while drunk.]]

* [[AerithAndBob Arieth and Bob]]: The cast has a pretty even mix of “normal” names, such as Maya, Jill, Derek, and Tommy, and unusual names, such as the aforementioned Arieth, Magnar, Tybalt, and Riona. Most of the unusual names are justified (especially Riona, who is ethnically Asian, and Tybalt, whose name indicates his upper-class status), but Arieth's never is, presumably for RuleOfFunny.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The interlude has the player play as Zoey during her time in San Diego. This notably leads to an ArtShift: while the MC's choices are written in the default font and arranged on the right side of the screen, Zoey's choices are written in her handwriting and are in bubbles around her head.

* ProlongedPrologue: The first part of Episode 1 takes its time with establishing who you are and where you come from, along with some other supporting characters from your town like Josy and your father. After that first part, the vast majority of the rest of the game takes place at B&R, with only a few scenes with Josy and small parts of certain episodes taking place outside of it.

* BrickJoke: When roaming around the dorm during your first night at B&R in Episode 1, you can find a guy frustratedly shaking a soda machine after it swallowed his money. If you have 1$, you can buy him a new soda and he will thank you. In Episode 4, if you chose to stay with Derek, you can meet him again and he will repay you; in the subsequent conversation, you can recommend that he join the chess club to help with anger management. The kicker comes in Episode 8: in the newspaper Tybalt shows off talking about his parents donating money to B&R, a side article can be seen talking about the soda guy, revealing his name (Benjamin Ingsfeldt) and that [[spoiler:he has been expelled from B&R following him assaulting Prof. Hoff during a chess game]]; this event leads to him not being in his room during the dorm party, allowing his roommate to make out with another partygoer.

''Being A DIK'' is an episodic DatingSim adult visual novel developed in UsefulNotes/RenPy by solo developer [=DrPinkCake=], creator of ''VisualNovel/ActingLessons''. It is available on Steam, GOG and [=DrPinkCake=]'s Patreon.

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: The crux of several of the shenanigans you get caught up in throughout the game.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The interlude has the player play as Zoey during her time in San Diego.

* ArtisticLicenseEducation: Throughout the game, you, the [=DIKs=], and the [=HOTs=] get away with so much more than any real life fraternity or sorority would be able to get away with, no matter how secretive they are. Also, even though B&R is a smaller school, there seems to be a distinct lack of different professors employed at the university.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Inverted with Sage and Isabella. Isabella comes off as cold, with Sage coming off as mean and even enjoying when other people act that way. However, over time, you start to see Isabella defrost a bit, and Sage has hidden depths to her as well.

* DysfunctionalFamily: The Burkes; it says something that [[spoiler:Sage]] is the most normal member. Jade and Stephen's marriage has mostly collapsed with Stephen's constant lechery of students and Isabella, and he may have cheated on her with her best friend Cathy; this has led to Jade very unsubtly flirting with the MC, her student (during classes!), and seemingly trying to work out her pent-up anger issues by having sex with him. To put the icing on top, the final member of the family? [[spoiler:Tybalt]]. Yeah.

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Codified by the [=DIKs=]' secret code, a code a DIK member may invoke only once to ensure that something remain a secret within the frat and not be discussed even within it in casual contexts. The most notable example of this is when Jacob invokes the code during the Hell Week evaluation in Episode 5 to ensure that the details regarding [[spoiler:Derek having sex with the old teacher (which he essentially does as a favour to Derek for "stepping on the granny grenade" for the sake of the frat) or the MC having sex with Jade (realising how bad things could get if word got out about it)]] remain a secret, though not all invocations of the code are this grave or significant (Jamie, for instance, invoked it just to ensure that the rest of the [=DIKs=] didn't make fun of him for his gardening hobby). [[spoiler:The ending of Episode 6 reveals that the code is not as sacrosanct among all of the frat members as most may want it to be: if the MC had sex with Jade and revealed it to the [=DIKs=], Stephen Burke is seen at the end of this episode watching the video Tremolo shared with them.]]
* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: In college sex comedy tradition, the MC isn't restricted to the bedroom with most of his partners. This shows up most notably with Jade, who tends to have sex anywhere - in a supply closet, in a bathroom, even giving the MC a handjob in a classroom ''during her class''. This is taken to its peak in "Vixens", where she has sex with the MC in her kitchen, [[spoiler:with her family and guests in the next room, [[CoitusUninterruptus not even stopping when her son walks into said kitchen]].]]

* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Maya invokes this almost word for word when she runs into you and a completely naked Derek after you both got tricked by the [=DIKs=] and Quinn.

* ScaryBlackMan: Stanley the Pink Rose's bouncer. Wanna make a mess in the strip club? The guy will kick your ass. This is averted otherwise, though; he's a pretty chill guy if you follow the rules.

* TwoTeacherSchool: Season 1 has Jade and Cathy as the only teachers at B&R, with Cathy teaching Gen Ed (English and Math) and Jade teaching Gender Studies, with Stephen as a counselor as seen during [[spoiler:Chad's disciplinary hearing]]. Later episodes do add more teachers, especially after Cathy leaves B&R after [[spoiler:the nude photo scandal]]; Gen Ed gets split between Prof. Philip Hoff, who teaches Math, and, of all people, Isabella, who teaches English (admittedly, she is qualified as a teacher, librarians are also teachers, and she had studied English in college). A few other teachers do show up outside the MC's classes, notably Dr. Schmidt, Tybalt's mentor; however, janitorial staff aren't seen on screen, with the only indication of such duties being performed being the tri-Betas and the MC helping with the library for fraternity funds.

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Codified by the [=DIKs=]' secret code, a code a DIK member may invoke only once to ensure that something, typically an event, remain a secret within the frat and not be discussed even within it in casual contexts. The most notable example of this is when Jacob invokes the code during the Hell Week evaluation in Episode 5 to ensure that the details regarding [[spoiler:Derek having sex with the old teacher (which he essentially does as a favour to Derek for "stepping on the granny grenade" for the sake of the frat) or the MC having sex with Jade (realising how bad things could get if word got out about it)]] remain a secret, though not all invocations of the code are this grave or significant (Jamie, for instance, invoked it just to ensure that the rest of the [=DIKs=] didn't make fun of him for his gardening hobby).

This shows up most notably with Jade, who tends to have sex anywhere - in a supply closet, in a bathroom, even giving the MC a handjob in a classroom ''during her class''. This is taken to its peak in "Vixens", where she has sex with the MC in her kitchen, [[spoiler:with her family and guests in the next room, [[CoitusUninterruptus including when her son walks into said kitchen]].]]

* MaleGaze: Unsurprisingly, given [[HGame the genre]]. Every episode provides many shots leading to a focus on breasts and butts. Unsurprisingly, taking the choice to peek at the girls typically gives the player DIK points.

* UnproblematicProstitution: Subverted. Initially accepting Quinn's proposal to pay to have certain lewd scenes with the [=HOTs=] seems like just a mechanic for the player to earn some sex scenes. However, as noted under SacrificialLamb, it becomes clear the business has a darker side to it.
* WackyFratboyHijinx: Your initiation into the [=DIKs=] centers around this, with the first task being to steal a pair of panties from the [=HOTs'=] house. Once the MC and Derek are confirmed to be maggot brothers, they are tasked with having to complete a series of ridiculous, seemingly impossible tasks that are written on a pledge board before the end of Hell Week; notably, the two manage to complete all of the tasks. For perspective, these include:

** Get slapped by three girls. Two slaps are unavoidable (Cathy and Jade slap the MC and Derek during the streaking), while the third is dependent. [[spoiler:If the MC helps Camila and Mona with their task by giving them his underwear, he can ask them to slap him in front of the [=DIKs=]; if he doesn't, Derek will count as having got the third slap from Wendy when he interrupts the feminist rally while drunk.]]

** Having sex with a teacher. [[spoiler: The MC will get credit for this (along with Jacob invoking the DIK code of silence) if he has sex with Jade and shares the video; if not, Derek will seduce an elderly schoolteacher during the car wash.]]

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Derek has spent the majority of the game walking around campus without a shirt. The only times he actually wears one are on days when he has gender studies class as Jade ordered him to wear one. Though he always wore shirts with inappropriate jokes on them. After joining the [=DIKs=], he sticks to wearing the fraternity's jacket, but doesn't wear a shirt underneath.

** The 6th episode shows [[spoiler:Patrick, Maya’s overly religious dad, on his way to pay her a surprise visit right after she stormed out of the HOT ceremony after hearing that the "free tuition" wasn’t real; he has a key to her dorm, too. Professor Burke deletes Mona from the scholarship program, a letter of Cathy resigning from B&R is shown on his desk, and Mona herself drops out of B&R.]]

** Come episode 7, in a single image we finally get the missing piece of the puzzle from episode 1, the reason the guitar was stolen. [[spoiler:Chad's mysterious lover is '''Troy.''']]

* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: In college sex comedy tradition, the MC isn't restricted to the bedroom with most of his partners. This shows up most notably with Jade, who tends to have sex anywhere - in a supply closet, in a bathroom, even giving the MC a handjob in a classroom ''during her class''.

** Give a wedgie to a nerd. [[spoiler: The MC can pay Magnar to accept being wedgied; if he doesn't, Derek will wedgie his roommate Bert only to get a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.]]

** Get slapped by three girls. Two slaps are unavoidable (Cathy and Jade slap the MC and Derek during the streaking), while the third is dependent. [[spoiler:If the MC helps Camila and Mona with their task by giving them his underwear, he can ask them to slap him in front of the [=DIKs=]; if he doesn't, Derek will get the third slap from Wendy when he interrupts the feminist rally while drunk.]]
** Have sex outdoors.

* WackyFratboyHijinx: Your initiation into the [=DIKs=] centers around this, with the first task being to steal a pair of panties from the [=HOTs'=] house.
** This is followed by you and Derek having to complete a series of ridiculous, seemingly impossible tasks that are written on a pledge board. [[spoiler:The MC and Derek achieve all of them; even though they don't egg the preps before the end of Hell Week, they do do so shortly after.]]
