Casual Dating: Swing at Melody Club

Rice University has that well-known curse that students either find a partner during Orientation Week and date him or her until marriage or constantly hook up with random people at parties and never settle. This curse is an exaggeration, of course, but the Rice social culture seems to have no semblance of a third realm in this dichotomy of committed couples and hook-ups. What if you are not keen on the random hook-up, but also do not care to spend the rest of your life with the next person you date? The answer: casual dating.
