Fraternity Stereotypes That Are All Too True

We get it, you're in a frat

Fraternity Stereotypes That Are All Too True

Yes, we love our frat boys, but some of the things they do just confirm so many of the stereotypes. Sometime being too frat can be a bad thing. Here are some tell tale signs that boys take the fraternity lifestyle seriously.

Taking intramural sports a little too seriously.

Sometimes frat boys get a little carried away with intramural sports. I hate to break it to you, but girls do not care if you were the soccer intramural champions. Go take off the eyeblack and tights and remember intramurals are supposed to be fun, not an opportunity to show off your high school varsity skills.

Getting a lot of girls.

Yes, it is impressive how many girls some frat guys get, but it is also a little concerning. We understand that your brothers think it's awesome that you hooked up with four girls this weekend, but females tend to think differently.

Hazing and pledgeship.

Some people think that hazing only happens in the movies, but they are very wrong. We all hear a little but about what the pledges go through, but we will never know the full story that goes on behind the closed frat house doors. Some fraternity guys swear that pledgeship has brought them closer to their brothers, so you do you.

Crazy frat houses.

Raging parties are not the only thing that goes on in frat houses. When you put a large number of fraternity guys in one place you never know what could happen. Most weekends the frat house will have a parade of ashamed women leaving it as well as holes in the walls and trash lining the hallways that no one can explain.

Frat Attire.

The frat uniform is a very real thing, especially in the south. If a guys closet isn't filled with Vineyard Vines, Patagonia, Polos and Sperry's we would have no idea that he is in a frat.

Shotgunning beers.

For some reason guys think that shotgunning is the most effective way to drink a beer. It is hard to attend a frat party or tailgate without witnessing a circle of guys chugging beer as fast as they can.

Crazy spring breaks.

Spring Break is basically Christmas to frat guys. They get a week off of school to be surrounded by beautiful women in bikinis. Their spring break is also filled with ridiculous stories and decisions that they may or may not remember.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
