I was reported to the honor code twice by anonymous persons. Both occurred my freshman year in the dorms at DT. One evening me and some buddies who shared some colorful days in high school had a private discussion with a few other people in our closed dorm room about our past transgressions. One of the people present apparently was disgusted that we got into the Lord's University with all the follies of youth we had committed. So he took it upon himself to report us to the Honor Code regardless of the fact that all of these things had transpired before any of us signed the Honor Code. Nothing happened with me except an awkward meeting in the SWKT before some old guy I don't remember who questioned me about my commitment to the Honor Code. The gentleman would not release the identity of the person who reported me when I asked him about it. This single event led one of my friends to transfer to Miami-Ohio at the end of the semester. We also approached every single person present for the discussion until we found the rat. We then shunned him for the rest of the year. Funny too, that the rat was the only RM on our floor and he was transferred from one mission to another mission where his father was serving as President because of some issues and eventually was sent home early from that mission.

The second occurred when I was in a girls dorm room after hours and a girl anonymously from another apartment reported me to the dorm mother. The dorm mom then approached us as we were leaving and took down my name. I pulled a Tonga and gave her my buddy's name because I thought she was joking. When I realized she wasn't I gave her my real name which didn't make her too happy. I had another meeting in the SWKT and again had to agree to the terms of the Honor Code. It's kind of like having to agree to the rules again on CB. This time I was put on probation, mostly for my previous offense which was talking about my past transgressions before I even came to BYU. I had to apologize to the dorm mom I offended and then also my own in DT. I also had to attend all the devotionals and write a one page response and turn in by 5 pm every Tuesday. I was told serving an honorable mission would expunge my record.

I hate the Honor Code. It's bullshit. And I curse the students who created it and the mullahs who enforce it.
