PESSIMIST: The Faternity of Galaxy reveals partnership with OpenAI

April 1, 2026 by Optimist Staff Leave a Comment

The Faternity of Galaxy revealed Wednesday that they have entered into an official, eight-year sponsorship agreement with OpenAI, the powerhouse company behind ChatGPT and other generative AI tools.

OpenAI’s sponsorship coordinator, Adam Standler, reached out to the club after records revealed that Galaxy was in the top 10% of users, averaging 2,000 prompts per day, based on acu.edu emails associated with Galaxy. Standler said the sheer number of interactions logged from the faternity prompted him to contact and propose a partnership.

“I was surprised, honestly,” Standler said. “Even the most straightforward assignments are being asked to be ‘explained as if I were a two-year-old.’ But hey, business is business.”

With 67% of assignments already artificially generated, this new sponsorship will lead the club into an era of maximizing profits while maintaining academic honesty and success. Reports say the most recent Nova class was selected using AI, ensuring Galaxy the best odds of having successful alumni.

“We’re getting our money up,” said Moonie Aidan Kluth. “Instead of our funny up.”

Under the terms of the deal, every active member will receive unlimited access to premium ChatGPT, free OpenAI x Moonie merchandise and an AI-run archive of past historical academic records.

The club plans to capitalize on the agreement by using OpenAI to create plays for intramural flag football, Sing Song lyrics and New Member Orientation “activities.”

“Some people and other faternities are mad,” Kayde Jaffet said. “But they just wish they had thought of this first.”

Faculty responded quickly, with COBA professors already adjusting their syllabi to accommodate the surplus of missing assignments being turned in.

OpenAI issued a short statement: “We are excited to empower the next generation of innovative thinkers at institutions like ACU. Galaxy’s commitment to cutting-edge tools aligns perfectly with our mission.”

The sponsorship kicks off officially on Monday. Galaxy President Braden Sparks said the sponsorship is perfect timing, with just a couple of months until finals season.

“Imagine submitting a 2,000-word Bible paper in the time it takes to make a protein shake,” Sparks said. “That’s efficiency. That’s progress. That’s Galaxy.”
