Jonathan Kent turned down a full football scholarship to Metropolis University. [citation needed] After his father's death, he went to Met U.

Jonathan Kent and Martha Clark met while taking a finance class at Metropolis University. Martha asked Jonathan for some notes, even though she was the note-taker for the class.

[edit] Tri-Psi

Buffy Sanders and the Tri-Psi Sorority

Tri-Psi is a sorority at Metropolis University. It was run by Buffy Sanders, who in 1999 was trapped in a cave outside Smallville that was found to contain kryptonite-infected stalactites which mutated the bats living there. After being bitten by these bats, she developed super vampiric traits and became president of Tri-Psi, passing on her powers to the members of her sorority. After Buffy became president, the Tri-Psi became the most exclusive sorority on campus, only recruiting one girl every year. Lana Lang was a sister of Tri-Psi until the sorority was shut down and she was cured by Clark's use of a kryptonite based cure developed by LuthorCorp.
