Frat vs. GDI #7 (A Day in the Life)

GDI as it may seem, I almost always offer a sorostitute a lunch/brunch offer (A bloody mary or a mimosa for me). Being home for a couple of weeks makes me truly value a true sorostitute and shacking with a treu southern belle. While a true fratdaddy shouldn’t concern himself with this aspect, some Southern part of me wants to give a lady some appreciation for giving me a good night. This is coming from a frustrated fratdaddy so don’t take me too seriousloy.

I would suggest buying a pair of wranglers.

In response to William III:
May I suggest either Indigo Palms or Citizens of Humanity? I prefer Indigo Palms myself but their selection may be more limited.

Bluto, I think those games are acceptable. For the most part console games can be considered fratty as you can cool off in the A/C by playing a quick game of NCAA Football 07 following a game of croquet in the hot sun with your fellow frat daddy’s. The one true GDI move is nerding it up on the Computer playing such GDI titles as World of Warcraft and Counter Strike. As you can see above the day of a GDI includes, “Install more powerful graphics hardware into computer for more realistic World of Warcraft experience.”

Obviously any form of quality beer is definitely fratty. Scotch, Bourbon, or any gentleman’s drink taken neat is likewise so.

Cutter & Buck jeans are conservative

Frattiest Drink: Southern Gentleman

Manhattan on the rocks made with Gentleman Jack

any liquor on the rocks or with water is good, and i go with any domestic beer if i’m in a beer drinking mood. if i have a girlfriend at the time and i’m not trying to bring anyone home i go with the liquor to get as drunktaneous as possible, but if i’m looking for a new sorostitute, i go with beer to get feeling good with keeping the situation under control.

every true frat daddy needs at least 2 pairs of casual short short jeans.

can’t beat New Balance

“another fratty drink that has become popular in the fratty business world is scotch on the rocks or scotch and water…single malt of course.”

HELL, I WAS DRINKING THAT WHEN I WAS 12. IF YOU ARE JUST DISCOVERING SCOTCH IN COLLEGE, YOU ARE A PSUDO-FRAT!

DAMMIT..PSEUDO

SHIT..FAUX FRAT IS BETTER ANYWAY

as far as shoes for anonymous: pumas always look great on some long, bronzed sorostitute legs. and dave is right about new balance being a classy choice.

i know scotch on the rocks has been popular with the upper class, (fratty), business class, but i meant it’s become more widespread recently…or thats my opinion, but it has of course been popular with the upper class since it’s inception

why is this guy alec talking about jean shorts and why isnt he in the 80’s?

jean shorts…. not fratty

I like asics a lot….but you can’t go wrong with new balance.

asics make great running shoes…go with the nimbus or kayano but they will run you about 100-135. Brooks makes a good shoe as well.

cargo boy, you and i will never be in the same boat

here’s something i’ve been wondering….with fall approaching quickly, is jeans with a blazer and oxford frattable?? I know you start blurring the line and definetly wouldn’t do it with ripped jeans, a cheap blazer, and abercrombie “oxford”, but what if it was a fine taylored blazer, nice oxford, and nice casual jeans with cole haan loafers?

im just curious, i don’t think i would go there, but am interested in other’s comments

60 Minute Man -

There is noting particularly wrong with the jeans, but why? Stick with the khakis and you will never be questioned.

60 minute man, you got served by a GDI, something tells me spacious cargos is frattier than you

whatever y’all say…im not one to call out who’s fratty and who’s a gdi over the internet, but thats just me….i was simply asking input, and if you’ll read i said that i wouldn’t do jeans and a blazer

southern tide perhaps?….

I have a question for yall about sunglasses for sorostitutes. Right now, I have a pair of Chanel sunglasses that I really like, but I am in the market for a new pair and I have been looking at Costas. Do you think these are appropriate on sorostitutes or too masculine. I like the grand catalina style, because they are a little larger. And obviously, I would take the side shields off. Just something I am considering, and I woiuld love some other input.

Fashionable,

My sorostitute of choice recently made the switch to Costas and has not regretted her decision.

Birry,
i guess you are still going through social identity and only unanimously “fratty” phrases are acceptable ah

nothin finer than a girl in a sundress sporting a pair of green mirror glass costas

Am I alone in thinking that jeans are not fratty? Stick with khaki’s. They are classier and look better.

if you need something besides khakis to wear to class get some carharts

“nothing beats scotch on the rocks with a side of blow before a football game”

Roll Tide Roll.

azfrat,

This is definitely a challenging question. I’d like some more information:

1) What are your reasons for transferring?
2) What unfratty behavior (or outright douchebaggery) does the chapter at your new school engaged in?
3) How is the strength of the new school’s Greek system aside from the chapter of your house?

Anyone have any tips on how to break-in a new pair of Cole Haan Gunnison’s? I just got a pair and they are blistering the shit out of my heels.

wear them with socks first, just around the house if you have to, and they’ll stretch some…but if your already wearing socks and they’re still blistering, i don’t know

Whenever I need to deal with a new pair of loafers, I take them to my local korean shoe guy, he puts some cream shit on them, I walk around in them for a day, and after that, they fit great, like molded to your foot shape.

good luck with that uga law school is pretty difficult to get into but yea goin to uga will help alot

Not sure if this has ever been brought up (if so, please direct me to it) but is fighting considered fratty? And are there different situations where it is acceptable?

Frat brawls are a bit on the red(neck) side, but there is nothing better for building frat morale than beating the crap out of some douchebag frat, especially Pikes.

Leave the GDIs alone, beating them up is beneath our dignity unless they try to enter a closed party or some other egregious offense.

One should never try to purposefully pick a fight with a GDI. This takes valuable time away from much frattier pursuits. However, one should not hesitate to defend oneself, either.

Its not fratty to start a fight, but when im feeling down, nothing makes me feel better than kicking some fag with painted fingernails, jean shorts, and a chain wallet, right out of the party. GDI’s always get kicked out, I almost have it down to a science. And if they dont want to leave promptly then fisticuffs is what it comes down to. As far as frat on frat fights, they happen, part of nature, especially with shit talking pikes

Fighting…good subject. And why is it that Pikes are the universal whipping boys? I remember countless times of our house taunting the Pikes and SigEps and they would never do anything. Aaaahhh, but we got our come-up-ins when our house was about to go on probation and many an active went de-active. The roles were reversed, albeit very shortly, as we lost a fight with to the Kappa Sigs. But, we decided to have one more party before our chapter doors were shut. About 6 or 7 douchebags thought that they would just waltz right in and try to take on our women. When asked to leave, they refused, so they learned the hard way by being dragged out of the house and having the shit beat out of them in the front yard. It got so bad that, our Kappa Sig friends had to come over and break it up…at which point our houses made ammends and agreed that though we had our differences, it was better to be part of a united system.

In my personal fratting experience we were the “Deltas” and the Pikes were the “Omegas”, popped collars on their pink Polos and all. At the bars, we enjoyed picking out the biggest douchebag of the bunch and handing out a good whipping. I don’t think they ever realized how much we enjoyed it. At Greek Week one year, the Greek Advisor/IFC thought it would be a great idea to show Animal House in an on campus pavilion. Big mistake. Before Neidemeyer could say, “Drop and give me twenty” the fists and beer bottles were flying.

Same thing at UGA with Pike…being the first in my family to go here I didn’t know much about the houses but possibly the first thing I heard was that Pike was “the date rape frat” from the words of a girl I knew who rushed the year before I did. I don’t know if it’s really a fair assessment or not but it’s definitely stuck with me and probably half the rushees at UGA…
as for fighting…it’s pretty much inevitable when you have alcohol+rivalries…just don’t make asses of yourselves or start stupid shit that makes us look like something from Hollywood…remember we’re fraternities, not frats

One of the biggest downsides of fighting is that sorostitutes don’t tend to like it all that much. I remember in my first couple years we would always fight with the Kappa Sigs and some other douche no-name fraternity and it noramally never ended well (they would call the cops like vaginas). Now that I am a post-grad fratter I have found that almost all problems can be worked out without fighting. It is much harder to get into a fight once you are out of college as it is really looked down upon. Nevertheless, if someone threw a bottle at my car or threw a ball at my face or my brothers’ faces, I would beat the fuck out of them. Again and again.

Hahahaha

On the subject of fratty drinks, simply saying ‘bourbon on the rocks’ is not very frat (especially for fralumni). Order nothing less than Maker’s Mark…Woodford Reserve or Jefferson Reserve is best. Poor people order Jack…and being poor is uber-frat, except the EXACT OPPOSITE! GDI’s don’t even know the names of call bourbon…which all fralumni should know.

MY GOD! That kid is a Pike from Colorado State University. Man I knew that something that obscenely gay had to be from a Pike at CSU. Pikes there are the absolute biggest tool faggots in the country. Date rape central. They don’t even have a fratcastle, but rather 2 shacks. They are the epitome of a GDI club giving themselves greek letters. Look at these cock knockers. God I hate these fags.

camoflauge cargo shorts make my eyes bleed

but still, nothing is worse than seps, i fucking hate gdi’s who insist on trying to associate themselves as a fraternity.

Matt Kaufmans Gay, that has to be some of the funniest shit Ive ever seen…good idea getting the page up…hahahaha….did anybody else see the guy with the faux hawk? ahahahhaha…Hayden Fox look around were all laughing AT you and your chapter…ahahahah

I’m just going to go ahead and say it, and it might ruffle a few feathers here. But, outside the American South, no one comes even close to “fratting” hard. We don’t even use the term “fratting”. I’ve done my research too. If you’re one of those houses that wears your fraternity letters hugely across your chest, well……If you don’t even know the difference between a whiskey and bourben and the different brands, then just hang it up, because there is no hope for you. I’m amazed at how the Southern style of fraternity life is being mocked and copied here…and how it is being ripped (whoefully) off by people such as “Bayside Prep”…who is a yankee. The BEST thing to do for fraternity life would be to stop this website. Quite giving out guidelines (that obviously came from traditional Southern fraternities) to wannabes from CSU and Michigan and other yankee establishments. Let them continue to wear there large letters and put their gel in their hair. We don’t need them to temporarily copy our styles for their own trends.

“scratchgolfer”, go back and read my post and you’ll see that I am not the PIKE from CSU. I was laughing AT him. If you choose to disrespect me like that again, I will come to your family’s 2 bedroom apartment and haze your father.

NCAA tournaments with pledges as fratwater-fetchers/cheering section members has long been a tradition in our house.

Rusty is exactly right on point here: “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery dont get pissed off take it as a complement.” As we have said many times, the fratty style will be often imitated, but never duplicated by those who were sadly born without a frat gland.

and another thing!!! im hoppin in my winnebego october and visting my sister down in atlanta. any good football games we can park it at!!!

Tie them to a mattress and throw them off the roof. Make them fight each other. Piss on them.

Excellent ideas Anonymous…anyone else?

also, pledge skywalker. give the pledge a whiffle bat and put a giant metal pot on his head. throw beer cans (full or empty doesnt matter), rocks, etc. at pledge and pot. the more people the better with this one. you get a nice satisfying DONG when you land a hit on the pot

Prof. Stratton once had a hand in making a concoction that was so foul that I believe the pledges had to throw away the mop they used to clean it up. I can’t remember what all was in it…I believe it had an Arby’s sauce base.

Maybe he’ll post the recipe.

These are some great ideas guys, keep em coming. And Doug, see if Stratton can remember what all he put in it.

I don’t know what chapters y’all are talking about. We don’t do that shit down here

hey guys, on the topic of pledging/ hazing i got a sad question to ask. i am leaving to go to South Carolina and was all excited to rush and join a fraternity right away. the problem is that i broke my heel and will be on crutches for the first month of school and probably be still a little bit crippled for awhile. i was just hoping some experienced guys would give me a heads up if it is even worth rushing because i would guess nobody wants a crippled pledge. any advice or opinions would help. thanks guys

Gimp, go through rush. Just know that if the hazing is something you cannot do, your pledge brothers might get pissed off. Jonathan is right that they will find stuff for you to do. I would suggest wall sits with one leg.

Hazing for some strange reason boast core morale.!!! we try to keep the use of bodily fluids to a minimum though cuz that shit is just nasty. kidnapping is aways a classic!!

Another classic is the Tequila Sunrise: give every 2 pledges a handle of tequila and a 12 pack of Krispy Kreme donuts sometime in the evening/night, and put the entire pledge class on the roof. All of it has to be finished before sunrise is over. Also for perhaps hell week, give each pledge a handle of the worst grain liquor available, like McCormick’s, which has to be finished before a certain date. All shots, no cocktails.

I’ve also heard what a certain fraternity here at UGA does for initiation–don’t know if it’s true or not since I don’t know anyone in that particular house. Night of initiation, they put a pledge in each room in their house alone, so that they can communicate to or see each other. Before they go in, they show the pledges a goat and tell them that in order to get initiated, one of them has to come out and screw the goat. I dunno if they actually make someone do it (I doubt it) or if they just jump on the first person to come out of the room.

I’m loving the hazing ideas but I was wondering if any of you had any good ideas or themes for parties and mixers?…

KAPPA SIG

I go to a school where greek life pretty much sucks we have i think less than a half dozen active fraternities, I would have gone elsewhere if not for athletics. However a bunch of guys from my team and some friends from freshman year decided to start our own fraternity with the hope of all staying together and being able to throw parties without associating with the scum (big baggy jeans, huge hooded sweatshirts, flat brimmed hats you get the idea) that currently make up our schools greek system. Anyway the school shot us down msot because of all the dumb shit the greeks on campus had been doing (date rape drugs, fighting with eachother) even though the national from that fraternity was fully behind us. Anyway some time after we were offered a group bid by one of the worst fraternities in my opinion on campus. Would anyone advise accepting this bid and trying to turn that place around or just keep partying with the dudes who are more legit than anyone greek on campus anyway. Also let me add that much of my family including my dad and brothers are greek and constantly hassle me because im not.
