Editor's Note: This is a new column by Fratrick Chayzee and Gordon Bomchay, masters of the art of Chaying.



Similar to the notion that weed is a gateway drug to harder substances, being cool in high school is the gateway to success in future social scenes. A standard high school house party in many respects represents a microcosm of the many different party scenes that arise later in life from college fraternity parties to Ibiza nightclubs. I have compiled a short list of standard party venues, including etiquette and guidelines, to hopefully maximize a Bro's utility of the substances available when in the mood to chay.
