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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
