When I was at university, I was told a story that some of the chimps that were kept in the primate house at the school started popping the collars on their shirts after they saw humans doing the same thing.

And yes, the chimps had clothes, and toys.

It's not a joke. This is a thing that happened.

I think puranjay interpreted the snippet as a joke referring to college students in fraternity as the "primates in a primate house".
