EFY groupies

So here at BYU they host EFY (especially for youth) every summer. From what i gather it's kind of like a spiritual camp. I never went so I'm not entirely sure. Anyway there are 2 college age counselors and a group of about 20-30 14-17 yr olds. It can get pretty obnoxious at times with the chants and such but the kids like it so i guess it's good for them. One thing that i think is amusing about EFY is that the counselors, especially the male ones, get groupies. The teenage girls get crushes on the counselors and tag along with them everywhere they can in the hopes that their perceived romance may blossom into something more when they are a year or two older. Cracks me up. EFY groupies.

I LOVED EFY and went for quite a few years, and then was a counselor for a summer. Having said that, I do find humor in the "groupies." They have a name for that in the EFY circles it's called a COW (crush of the week-I know so cool, right?)

Adam worked at the BYU bookstore for a summer and he hated hearing the chants and having all these kids come into the bookstore and mess things up, but not buy anything. He and other bookstore employees dubbed these kids "EFYies" and "EFwhiners."

That same "groupie" thing happened with the good looking, single counselors at the Methodist camp i went to a couple years when I was in high school.

Funny!
