Chicks Dig Us, Moms Love Us, and Dads Just Want to Shake Our Hands. TFM.For last week’s issue, I shared with y’all ten of my personal favorite TSMs. Well, since my purpose for my previous article was directed at the ladies of this fine Ole Miss Greek community, for this week, my article applies to the fraternity men here on campus. So whenever I took a study break, I would, of course, log on to totalfratmove.com and instead of going to the TSM Wall, I would browse through the TFM Wall. Like the TSM Wall, I found the TFM posts that I read quite hilarious; however, I found a good number of the TFMs relating to controversial topics, such as politics and feminism, so I decided to carefully choose which TFMs I really liked when listing my top ten favorite TFMs. Nevertheless, after about an hour of thoroughly browsing through the TFM Wall, I managed to come up with ten of my favorite TFMs... 1.) “The last 3 Super Bowl winning Quarterbacks were fraternity men.” TFM. And just recently---as a matter of fact, a couple of weeks ago---the 2012 Super Bowl winning quarterback was Ole Miss and Sigma Nu alumni Eli Manning! Go Eli! Way to represent our school and the Greek community well! 2.) “Goths call us conformists. Hipsters call us mainstream. PETA calls us cruel. Environmentalists call us close-minded. Feminists call us womanizers. Socialists call us greedy. Liberals call us ignorant. But despite all this, society calls us successful.” TFM. From my interpretation from reading this post, this somewhat ties in with the old cliche, “Never judge a book by its cover,” which includes even Greeks. We Greek students have feelings too! 3.) “Obama is coming to campus today. In bigger news, it’s sorority bid day.” TFM. To a frat guy, there’s nothing more entertaining than seeing a stampede of ladies run to their respectable sorority houses on Bid Day... 4.) “If you like Southern girls: raise your glasses. If you don’t: raise your standards.” TFM. Because we Southern gals have the perfect characteristics most guys, especially those in fraternities, want: beauty, charm, and class. 5.) “Our shorts are shorter, beer is colder, girls are hotter, bourbon stouter, pockets deeper, and we all know that football games are more of a social event...Welcome to the SEC.” TFM. At Ole Miss, regardless of what kind of football season we may have, we definitely know how to make football games a social event. After all...”We may not always win a game, but we never lose a party.” 6.) “Writing a paper the night before, but putting the date as ten days earlier.” TFM. A classic, clever way of tricking the professor into thinking that you didn’t procrastinate...and it actually works! Well...most of the time... 7.) “The week-long party when everyone’s back in town before classes start.” TFM. A great way to spend the last few days off before having to get back into that stressful, busy routine! 8.) “Getting unreasonably mad when someone changes a good song playing at the frat castle.” TFM. One of the most important aspects of a frat party is good music, and when there is no good music, a lot of people tend to leave... 9.)“Facebook stalking. TSM. Beach picture evaluations. TFM.” Creepy, but very true. As a Greek community, I’m sure pretty much all of us are guilty of exercising these mindless activities while procrastinating or taking a break from studying. 10.) “Ecclesiastes 10:2 ‘A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left.” TFM. Just like everybody else, a frat guy’s decisions reflect on the consequences they face in the future. So, to all you frat men, you may “live only once,” but remember to live wisely!
