Pepperdine Makes Top 5 of GQ's 'Douchiest Colleges in America' List

The bros of Pepperdine.

L.A. has made GQ's latest "10 Douchiest Colleges in America" list, and for some reason the honor doesn't involve USC.

Maybe it's our Bruin bias, but you can't get much douchier than a college where redneck parents send their kids to be walled off from the West Coast's most-notorious barrio.

USC students have money, yet they think the Mustang GT is the epitome of sports car class (discuss). (Actually it made the list the last time we saw it -- in 2009ish). Anyway, GQ decided to pick on this school instead:

Pepperdine University in Malibu, which made No. 5 on the list. (Cornell took top honors).

The magazine isn't impressed with the campus' juxtaposition of its Churches of Christ affiliation and its blingy surroundings. GQ:

Are you a Christian but also really want a Mercedes SLK in Caspian blue and to be on whatever the next "Hills" is called? Don't worry. It's all holy. Because at Pepperdine, being Christian isn't like all about washing lepers or giving money away or whatever. It's about the fact that God chose you to be beautiful and hairless and successful.

It's true, but if it weren't for young, religious aspiring-actors-gone-bad nobody would ever get laid in this town.

Having gone to Pepperdine I can let you know that the religious freaks, sorry....religious advocates are far from douche. That being said, it does have its fair share of douche baggery. But then again, I think almost ever school does now a days...they are just more tan at P-dine

GQ's Right

This is not only the school of choice of the crybaby sons and daughters of rightwing wealthy, it's also the proud home of a second-rate law school whose major claim to fame is its shameful role in helping to pass Prop H8.

Your right about the Prop H8 thing...cant stand that. But trust me, there was a heavy group of left wingers who not only didnt have parents to pay the tuition and had to get in by scholarship but also fought against the right wingers on a daily. Its easy to poke fun a Pepperdine's backasswards rules and stances but its much harder to attend and try to fight against it.

Institute of Hair Restoration

hmmm, since, as you say the term douchiness was not really defined, your explanation of why Pepperdineis not the douchiest is a little... hmm looking for the right word, douchy?

Went to a Real College

Nevada UCLA isn't douchey at all. Riiiiiiiiight.

Went to a real college

*Because UCLA.

iPhone spelling mistakes happen to us all, douchey or not.

Getting called douche-y by GQ is like having Casey Anthony call you a bad mom.

HAHAHAHA!

This shouldn't surprise anyone that went to Pepperdine. That campus ranges from the intolerant Bible thumping d-bags to the "Daddy buys me whatever I want" Greek d-bags.
