11 College Drinking Stereotypes
guestofaguest.com

I'm sure we are all aware of the stereotypes that surround college students and drinking. We've all seen the movies with fraternity bros and sorority girls doing upside keg stands, mixing red bull with vodka, drinking four loko, and making too many bad decisions to count. While it is true that the media often over exaggerates the extent to which these things play out, there is some amount of truth to them. I go to a college that is non traditional in that it is small, in New England, and there are no men. Despite all of this we still experience most of the typical college drinking culture. In order to shed more um light on this matter I will explore in further detail which stereotypes are most definitely true.

1. PBR

For Hipsters, we all know it's true even they would claim otherwise. However PBR is pretty gross (don’t fight me on it, its true) and so this means Hipsters, next to frat bros, have the worst taste in drinks.

2. Frat bros only drink warm beer with "light" on the end

ie Coors Light, Bud Light, Natural Light, etc. We get the idea, they like really nasty cheap beer.

3. We do play beer pong

But with water, that alcohol ain't gonna pay for itself and we're cheap college students who would rather not waste precious booze on ping pong balls or the ground.

4. We drink shitty beer

Like a lot, way more often than anyone really wants to. I'm pretty sure the frat bros and everyone else's stressed wallets are to blame, along with collective drunk judgment on what good alcohol is.

5. We'll drink anything

Including "Galaxy", rum in plastic bottles, and Coors Light just to name a few...some guys also drink mystery solo cup mixtures.

6. Everyone will throw up at least once

Usually during their first year, unless you're like me and manage to hold off on that until you are a 22 year old college senior who makes bad decisions on the regular.

7. We make terrible mixed drinks

They will haunt your dreams for years, like mojitos with just rum and mint, after all who needs mixers right?

8. We are the macgyvers of alcohol

And will mix whatever we have at hand, including vodka skittle shots (don’t ask).

9. We LOVE drinking games

All of them, including children's games, cheers to the governor, and strip monopoly.

10. Red solo cups are still a thing


Though at my school we use mugs sometimes because its convenient and everyone has at least five.

11. We are constantly drunk

Sorta like I am right now..

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
