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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
