The road to the Final Fratty Four has been easy for none, but it has now been paved for those that survived the Fratlite Eight. All last week’s matches were close, but produced few surprises.
In the clothes bracket, overall #1 seed Costas and Croakies put down frat staple Polo Shirt with 56% of the vote. This was truly a clash of the frat titans, but the frattiest of all the sunglasses was expected to pull through in a tight fight, and that’s exactly what happened in the end.
Many observers thought that Natty Lite, with its strong fanbase among younger fratters, would fare well against its more sophisticated cousin Bourbon and Coke. However, in the end the most common mixed drink in all of fratdom booked its ticket to the Final Fratty Four with 58% of the vote.
In our closest match of the week, Formal/Cocktail took down open bar with 54% of the vote. This was an interested match to say the least, due to the fact that these two contestants often team up to create fratastic evenings. Our analysis has shown that Formal/Cocktail moved on because even when there is no open bar at formals/cocktails, true fratdaddies are so rich that they have no qualms about paying for all the drinks they need for themselves and their sorostitutes of choice.
In another close match, Hazing was able to topple golf. Of all of the regions, miscellaneous was consistently the most unpredictable, and this match could have gone either way; it will be interesting to see whether the formal/cocktail, now crowned frattiest of all parties, will be able to defeat an aspect of fratting that is older than fraternities themselves (as Professor Stratton teaches in his class, “Fratting Throughout History”, the first recorded haze happened over 500 years ago when a group of farmers in feudal England made a new worker wear his serving wench’s bloomers to an estate council meeting).
