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.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
