Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul’s college years at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, sound more “Animal House” than anything attributed to President George W. Bush’s days at Yale.
The candidate, who is a medical doctor, never finished undergrad, and GQ magazine looked into why. Apparently Paul left the school after scoring high enough on the MCAT to attend Duke Medical School, but while at Baylor, he was a member of the NoZe Brotherhood, a secret society described as “sort of a cross between Yale’s Skull & Bones and Harvard’s Lampoon.” During his tenure, according to GQ, Paul drunkenly tried to dig up a time capsule in the center of campus. He also blindfolded a fellow swim team member and took her to the countryside after she refused to smoke pot with Paul and another NoZe brother, the magazine reported. (She told GQ that Paul was high at the time). “They never hurt me. They never did anything wrong, but the whole thing was kind of sadistic,” the unnamed woman told GQ.
Spokesman Jesse Benton’s rendition of Paul’s undergraduate career was a little cleaner. “During his time at Baylor, Dr. Paul competed on the swim team and was an active member of Young Conservatives of Texas,” Benton told GQ.
