Freshman year frat parties were where most of us spent our weekends trying to create the same moments seen in movies on television. With a little time and experience though, most everyone comes to realize that these parties aren't quite as wild and amazing as everyone pretends on their Snapchat story. For those of you not yet in college or trying to convince your friends to stop dragging you to these things, this should help.
1. The heat is unbearable.
GiphyNo matter how long you spend running the flat iron over your hair and applying your makeup, inevitably, your hair will frizz and the sweat dripping off your face will wipe away all that you've applied. Squeezing about 100 people into a basement or house with zero air conditioning makes for a less than enjoyable time.
2. The choice of drink is beyond limited.
GiphyIf you're in the mood for warm, cheap beer, boxed wine or jungle juice, then you came to the right place. The lack of choices is less than inviting and the cheap stuff only means that the next morning will be that much worse.
3. Frat guys WILL hit on you.
GiphyIt's inevitable hat this will happen when you go out, but walking into a frat house is by far the worst. The lack of conversation or attempt to pretend they actually care about what you're saying is pretty standard, though if you're lucky there may be on or two good ones thrown in.
4. The ratio is far from even.
GiphyIt's no surprise when you walk through the door to find a sea of girls, most of which will try vying for the same guys, with a few members of the frat mixed in. Girls nights are fun and all, but it's not exactly fun when you can't go out with guy friends simply because the frat brothers refuse to let any potential competition come through the door.
5. You can't wear nice things.
GiphyForget breaking in those new heels you bought just for going out or wearing any top you consider a favorite. The muddy floors and inevitable drinks that will get spilled on you make deciding on an outfit a bigger chore than usual.
Bottom line, you're better off staying in with good wine than trying to enjoy dancing to "Mr. Brightside" on repeat in a frat house's basement. Save yourself the hangover, sweat and tears and avoid them as much as possible.
