How does a university's honor code shape student life? In this episode of 'The Normon Podcast', Rob, Chris, and Mace take a deep dive into Brigham Young University's controversial Honor Code. From its historical quirks—like the ban on women wearing jeans until 1981—to its modern-day implications, they leave no stone unturned.

They discuss everything from cheating to the law of chastity, offering a balanced view that’s both informative and entertaining.
