Jap cars are not fratty. A 4 Runner? Are you from California or something?

A Tacoma? A midsize truck? Screams GDI.

BMW’s are the hook and sinker with sorostitutes everywhere. A nice a minimum of a 5 series must be driven. None of this cheap 3 series crap, too many poor people driving those.

I disagree on the fact that all jap cars are completely unfratty. I traded in my 04 Tahoe on a 05 quad cab Tacoma and I love it. I’ve driven Tahoes, Z71 trucks, and my Tacoma and they’ve all served me well. But in all fairness I am trading the “yota” in on a 07 Z71 Tahoe in a couple weeks.

sounds like a good agreement on the car topic. always remember, jap cars(hyundais and that of the like) are completely unfratty. in fact, buying one should require you to get a personalized plate that reads ‘GDI’. in response to Howskis question, trading in the Frathoe after your college days isn’t a bad thing. it wasn’t until recently that trucks and suvs became classy whereas a high-quality car has always been the trademark of goodtaste and high fratitude. the jag or audi is a good call.

RollTide, with all due respect to Ed’s post, you will never be another chapter’s ‘guest pledge’ while a pledge at a UA fraternity. I’m a grad student here now and was in a fraternity during my undergrad years. We take pride in standing apart from other chapters. Most likely, you will have to sacrifice some away games during your pledge semester. Come to think of it, even at the home games you won’t be seeing much of the game as you’ll be getting drinks the entire time. Sucks, but it comes with the territory, unless you pledge in the spring.

Pledges have no problems with going to away games in my fraternity. We only allow them to go if we have a chapter at that particular school, and if they do they must check in to their pladgemaster at 8:00pm the night before the game. If that pledgemaster doesnt need a few hard working guest pledges for the weekend they get to see the game, most of the time they join that schools pledges in their duties…goodluck…

Question from a hopefully future pledge. How will pledging affect my ability to see football games? I want to go to all the road games, will pledging still allow me to do that?

BT,

Hope you have a good time in NO. Prof. Stratton and I organize at least one trip down there a year for our most privy group of brothers and sorostitutes, and the fratting potential in that town is off the charts. We didn’t even think this was possible…but the last time we were there, we frat tabbed at such a high level that we felt our own heads feel a twinge of pressure.

Speaking of Prof. Stratton, he nailed the seersucker question. That answer probably needs to go in the fratty attire section as a permanent addition.

I’m a big fan of Audi’s because they are luxury cars that don’t saturate the fratmosphere. Having one would allow you to frat hard while also showing your unique fratitude.

Jaguar X-type is a high status car you can get for about $15,000 used.

Save the Volvos and Saabs for the Sorostitutes. Go for the used Audi if you want a car. Good choice.

thanks guys, I was also looking at some Saabs or Volvo. I’m not sure if I’ll end up getting a car or an SUV (either a Grand Cherokee, 4 Runner, Pathfinder, Trailblazer or Explorer), I do like the Audi, but my parents would probably only pay for one a couple of years old at least

PledgeFront¢er,

You should consider the Jaguar X-type. You can currently get a 2004 (end of a lease) model for under $15,000 w/ 35k miles.

They get over 20mpg in real life, which is better than the explorer.

These cars demand respect and are fast & safe. Since they have all-wheel-drive, you can take them to the mountain for a ski trip.

unfortunately most decent smaller cars are jap cars. the A4 is a good choice. why the switch to a small car anyways?
