Evan dropped out of college, in order to concentrate on running Snapchat. He was studying product design at Stanford and only needed a couple of credits to graduate, but he thought dropping out was necessary to take his already blossoming company forward.

He and his fellow fraternity brothers of Kappa Sigma, Bobby Murphy and Reginald Brown IV, came up with the idea of Snapchat in 2011, when they were talking about sexting. Their partnership eventually turned sour, and Reggie was ousted from the company, who later sued his partners and settled for an undisclosed amount.
