find your partner in crime
Sophomore summer has been… fine. Mostly, it’s nice having the campus to ourselves, but we can do better. Every year we do MarriagePact, and it’s fine—you get paired with someone, you ask your friends if they know them, and after they say no, you check their IG. If you got matched with Chuzz, chances are you don’t follow them, and if their profile is public, chances are you’re not scrolling for long. But if they’re NOT Chuzz, chances are that you do follow them, or they’re public, and you scroll for like five minutes and get a bit excited for some reason (you’re desperate).
Either way, flitzes may or may not be exchanged, you might even meet up with them. But only about 20 percent of MarriagePact matches get to this stage. A few couples might actually have met through MarriagePact (insane), but most like yours ended before you even got the chance to piss them off.
We want to give people an opportunity to actually get to know who they get matched with. So we changed the entire process of getting a match (the algorithm is much better now we swear) and, more importantly, finding out who your match is—to encourage people to give their matches more of a chance. Because some people look better in person (significantly) and that getting to know someone makes them more attractive (slightly).
