So I’m still in High School, but I keep everything fratty. I was at a party mainly filled with local kids (I’m usually absent from those). These people ranged from Abercrombie meatheads to tight clothed Volcom/Fox skater/fake-surfer kids. Very unfratty, in my opinion. So I show up with a few others and we stuck out like a sore thumb. Not only was our ride not a Chevy cobalt, Dodge SRT, or toyota x-runner, but we were missing our popped collars and puka shells. So basically we were there for the booze and women. We enter and shudder as “Pop Lock and Drop it” is being played as people in the living room smoke while those upstairs are dancing. We find that the secondary cooler is in the upstairs living room (filled with Smirnoff, colt 45’s, and natty light) where quite a crowd has gathered. We decided that we want to take the cooler and leave. Basically, the two girls in my group start a fake fight downstairs which causes a ruckus and clears upstairs. I proceed to back my truck under the window of a nearby bedroom (side of the house) and get into the bed to help lower the cooler into the truck, covering it with my bed mat. I then proceed to assist the two upstairs into the truck bed through the window with a ladder I keep for work as we drive off and meet the girls who had ran from the house at the gas station down the street. We didn’t improve the party itself, but we did improve our night by relieving some undeserving, future GDIs of their frat water. What happened from there is the stuff of legends.

FTRUGA, it’d be bad ass if you were in one of those high school Fraternities like they have in Mobile, Alabama (probably one of the frattiest high school scenes existing).
Plain and simple, Reggie’s in TigerLand of Baton Rouge… If you are ever put in the situation, drown yourself in the cheap shots and make as much fun of the Ronnie’s (look the group up on FaceBook, (Ronnie: Learn about the Legend)) aka GDIs who dance much mores than any of the sluts skanks whores there. They all have on tight shirts with gay designs on the front, and skin tight. Their hair is so full of gel, that you can smell it over the multiple sprays of cologne all over. Basically, if you are ever at Reggie’s talk shit to the owner, J.L., and call him just one of the regulars who go there who try to fight college kids. I know Reggie’s is one of the only bars that is 18 to get in, but please, make the best of the situation…
FTRUGA said in April 23rd, 2007 at 6:19 pm
No, I live in boring southeast GA, but I try to frat as hard as possible. We did stay for a good 45 minutes, as I was busy for a good 30 mins, but there’s no way that we were going to stay. Why party at this stupid kid’s house when we can steal their stuff (maybe not so fratty in principle, but it was in execution) and drink it all at my friend’s dad’s expensive beach house in Fernandina beach, FL with much better company?
I have some friends that go to LSU so I might visit that place one day.
FTRUGA said in April 23rd, 2007 at 6:21 pm
I want to add that I’m not meaning to gloat, I just want to make sure I’m headed down the right path for this summer/fall.
Sounds like you are well on your way. I was laughing out loud at backing your truck up to get the cooler.
You did those douchebags a favor. The only thing more annoying than a douchebag is a drunk douchebag.
VAtal said in April 23rd, 2007 at 6:55 pm
Speaking of this FTRUGA’s beach house, I was wondering if its possible to truly frat as hard as possible when in Europe. I go to a family beach house in Tuscany every summer, and although the summer visitors are undeniably fratty (polo field, golf course, sailing) the night scene seems to be overrun by night clubs and and expensive bars. How can i frat as hard as possible in the summer, while still partaking in the same activities as the rest of the beach locale?
ZMudd said in April 23rd, 2007 at 10:15 pm
VAtal I think part of your answer is in part of your question. Being in the Tuscany Region of Italy, you reside in the motherland of wine. The true fratter should know a veritable gold mine when he sees one. My personal favorite activity during the day is beach bocce while enjoying a good bottle of wine from the local winery. And as for night activities, the expensive bars you refer to would be a great place to rack up a truly legendary frat tab.
Best of luck, and happy fratting!

Ok so we are at Sandestin for spring break this last march. We had rented a 4 bedroom villa on the beach and had a party one night. I bunch of gel heads from south florida showed up and it was a cock block fest. So me seeing the deuchbaggery of the situation busted out a beer bong got wasted and began to spit game on one of the girls. The gel heads were pushed to the side because the girls saw there GDI ways. Long story short we ran a train on a sorostitute after being obliterated while the gel heads when home empty handed. While we normally dont run trains it was quite funny and it was also spring break. We also got pictures lmao.

“Running a train” is for douchebags and is not fratty.
Fratty J. McFratterson said in April 24th, 2007 at 9:03 am
Speaking of fratting hard outside of the border, this reminds me of a time when I was infact out of my element. The place: Mont Tremblant, CA. The setting: a local bar filled with a mixture of people in their earlier twenties on spring break, and GDI local snow board faggots.
The place was pretty sweet, but the atmosphere was gayer than AIDS. I was looked down upon for wearing my khakis with wallabees, a pastel polo, a mountain hardwear jacket, and an old Auburn hat…apparently the Canadian Avril Lavigne wanna be sluts aren’t into american fratty guys beacuse I was getting shot down left and right.
Not only was I getting zero attention from these local girls, but every GDI gel-haired faggot in the place was grinding up on one of these bitches to some lame ass rap song.
Then I spotted a group of 5 girls who had on pearls and dresses instead of torn jeans and ties as belts…jackpot. I quickly approched the sorostitues and introduced myself like a gentleman.
We quickly took over the environment and boosted the fratmosphere by convincing the DJ to put on AC/DC “Shook Me All Night Long”, Bon Jovi “Livin on A Prayer”, and “Sweet Home Alabama”. I also took it upon myself to frat tab to the extreme by ordering several shots of bourbon, and several Coors Lights (only American beer in the place), and drinks for the ladies.
I concluded the evening by beating the shit out of some GDI snowboard douche who had the testicles to approach me and say “You wanna start shit?” after I very sarcastically told him that his popped collar was cool. After taking a shot of Beam I got in the faggots face and said “I don’t start shit, I finish it.” WHAM…GDI falls to floor, fratdaddy pays outrageous bar tab (with credit card), 2 sorostitues leave with fratdaddy…fratdaddies 1, GDIs 0.
pledgefetchmeabeer said in April 24th, 2007 at 10:33 am
McFrat, quality story! AC/DC, Bon Jovi, CCR, ZZtop, Seger etc are certain to instantly drain the vinegar out of the situation you described, good choice on fratty music. high marks also for making fun of popped collar faggots trying to be hardass. i say trying b/c if you have a popped collar you might as well carry a neon sign that says “i’m a weak little bitch.” keep on fratting.
pledgetakemetowafflehouse said in April 24th, 2007 at 11:38 am
McFrat-
Thanks for just leaving with the sorostitutes and not “running a train” on them. Having sex with another male in the room is more GDI than a Star Trek-themed ultimate frisbee tournament co-sponsored by the College Democrats and the campus dry fraternity.
Entire generations of fratdaddies thank you
pledgetakemetowafflehouse said in April 24th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
In addition, here’s my story:
Last year, I’m interviewing for a job with a financial firm in Washington DC. I don’t know if y’all are familiar with the town, but it really is a bizarre mix of fratty professionals and the most gelled headed hardcore liberals who don’t own anything that isn’t skin tight or earth toned.
The interview went great and most of the guys were fratty dudes from good southern schools; UVA, UNC, UT, etc. My flight was scheduled to leave that evening, but some of the guys wanted to go out drinking (I was pretty certain I had locked the job at this point). I grew up 15 minutes outside of DC, so I figured I’d just pay mom and dad a surprise visit and crash back in my old bedroom from highschool.
So we’re out partying, and unfortunately the entire douchebag faction of DC was out in full force; I’m talking butch lesbians, emo kids, pansies from the NE, you name it. So we decide to compensate by creating the hugest possible frat tab, and then expensing it back to the company….since they apparently wanted to hire me, it would count as a recruiting expense.
We each rip about 8-9 bombay tonics, and I’m feeling like it’s about time for a dip. Unfortunately, finding skoal in DC is like finding hair gel in a KA house. Quick thinking, I decide to haze my own little brother, who is a senior in high school, and make him drive into the city and bring me a can of dip. He gets there 30 mins later (he’s gonna make a good pledge).
So we’re all sitting around at a nice bar, throwing in huge dips, and relishing in the disgusted looks that all the gel-heads and fat girls are giving us when, like a symphony, we hear southern accents and giggling girls behind us.
Long story short, we meet a bunch of girls from Nashville, and they’re definitely cool with our Southern/manly ways. I was chatting one up hardcore, and convince her to leave with me. Not wanting to shack at my parents house, I quick thinkingly decided that the Hay-Adams hotel would be a great place to shack…since I had already dropped a good 100 buying her drinks, what’s another 350 for a room?
Best 450 I ever spent
Southern Gentleman said in April 24th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Great stories, all around. Before I was able to surround myself with the more elite members of society at college (I won’t mention the college because it is Yankee-tastic and my fellow southrons would be ashamed, rest assured I am returning to the promised land for law school and fratastic post-grad lifestyle), I grew up in a small town on the Arkansas/Oklahoma border - not exactly Charleston… so I was constantly given the opportunity to inject fratitude into the gatherings of those less fratinate. On one occasion, when on holiday break, I found myself surrounded by a typical species for the Arklatex region, the hybrid meathead/redneck who occasionally displays some characteristics of a fratdaddy but often gels its hair and wears abercrombie when it enters the mating season. Luckily I had a few of my fellow fratdaddies with me when we entered the party filled with these animals and a few sluts. There was Smirnoff and other despicable concoctions that pass for a “drink” everywhere, but we of course had our own ample stash of mid-range domestic and a few Shiner Bocks in the frathoe. Because we had been in these situations before, we simply walked in with a double stack each and left the rest in the ‘hoe. Once the red-meats had found we weren’t going to play any gorilla games they began trying to befriend us and we were soon the life of the party as we were obviously the most experienced and able at the exercise of partying. The greatest moment came when they ran out of drinks, as the amateurs always do, and had no way of purchasing more alcohol, because they lack the foresight to purchase a fake id while sober during the workweek between the hours of 8 and 6. We politely suggested that the party not end, that we each had a fake id and would gladly buy beer if the money were only supplied to us. The drunks of course got extremely excited and began pulling out a surprising amount of cash for this beer. Of course, once the smoke cleared all we had to do was go outside and down the street to the ‘hoe (a true fratdaddy always parks a small distance from the party in order for quick get-aways and situations such as this) and enjoy a quick pinch of copenhagen. A few minutes later, we returned victorious with a few cases of Budweiser, a handsome profit in our pockets and the smiles only a true fratdaddy can wear when he saves a floundering party while perpetuating the universal admiration for true fratitude….
Topsider said in April 24th, 2007 at 1:19 pm
I really enjoy hearing stories from other fratdaddies about Canada. I am from Sarasota Fl, which has always been pretty fratty, however I am currently going to school in Vancouver, British Columbia. My school has a hard core contingent of Fratty Individuals who run the fraternities up here, but we are surrounded by every kind of douchbaggery known to man. From the dreadlocked hippies, to the shaved head feminists, to white rappers, to kids who have more gel in their hair than there is Oil in Saudi. I have tried to frat hard and set an example, yet sometimes it gets frustrating because of the sheer numbers of GDI and other douchbaggery. However by rocking topsiders, dockshorts, polos, and Costas to the bars during the summer, I clean house with the visiting American girls up here. Also my frattabbing has become legendary (however not as much as in the day when the american dollar was worth 1.40 up here) the biggest problem up here besides the rampant douchbaggery and anti-frat bias is the lack of decent fratwater. Bud light has only just become available up here, and Natty Light is unheard of. I actually get my Bros visiting from other chapters to bring me up cases of fratwater before crossing the border. However one big perk about living up here, fratting hard will get you noticed quickly by alum, and also by vancouvers buisness elite who even though they are canadian, are very fratty. Fratting in Spirt can be done, even north of the border, its just harder.

Frattinhard at FU said in April 24th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
seems like alot of yall are including how much you spent in your stories but i’d like to remind all of yall that it is pretty GDI to talk about how much money you spent on alcohol. Instead of being like oh wow I spent 100 dollars at the bar. It should already be understood that when a fratdaddy takes a seat at a bar he is ready and willing to spend excessive amounts of money. The point is taking about money is pretty GDI.
pledgetakemetowafflehouse said in April 24th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
i must agree to disagree with you there. agreed that talking about money in front of sorostitutes is indeed a JV move, it definitely is appropriate fodder for a gentlemanly forum.
while in spirit I wish i could say “right on” to your willingness to spend excessive amounts of money everytime you sit down at a bar, the reality is there are only two types of fratdaddies who can actually do this; ones who are so damn spoiled by their parents that they have zero life skills, and ones who actually do care about money but instead pretend to be rich on internet forums
getting dad to buy you a frathoe = tfm
getting dad to pay for your bartabs= questionable
Topsider said in April 24th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
I agree with wafflehouse on the parents paying for you frattab. Its pretty standard having them pay rent, tuition, dues, and also buy your Frathoe, but ive never tried to expense my frattabs that way, if my parents knew the exact dollar amount I was drinking every month, they wouldnt be nearly as supportive of the other aspects of my life. Parents always will know their son drinks if he is in a frat, but I dont like to rub it in their face.

This could be addressed in the next topic. The frattiest haircuts obviously are:
1. Frat Shag
2. Comb Over
3.
4.
Any other suggestions? I was going to say a bald-fade or maybe some emo-bangs, but then I questioned myself. Are those are even remotely fratty?
So I sat here and thought about it for awhile. Well guess what, I finally figured it out. The answer’s, no. They’re not fratty at all. Why was I even thinking that in the first place? Am I losing frat touch? Can someone throw a few good ideas out there and bring me back to fratality?

Frat Swoop - mixture of the frat shag and crew comb over. Great for the undergrad because it mixes the sense of style you obtained from your wealthy parents with the fact that you get way to drunktaneous for regular haircuts.

Legacy Fratter said in April 24th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
GDItolerant Missouri State isn’t an SEC school. Nice one. I am also like FTRUGA, a senior in high school ridden with douche bags. Luckily, my brother got ahead of me and taught me how to be fratty when he went away to college. At my school, it’s the exact same as FTRUGA, douche bags who drive “fast, hip, Japanese” cars and are interested in puka shells and cargo shorts. Greatest story I’ve been telling comes from the first three days of my senior year. It’s hot in August, so I’m wearing shorts to class. My last teacher of the day tells me I’m in violation of the dress code. Knowing that she was a bitch, I ignored her and sat down at my seat. The second day came and she told me again that I was in violation of the dress code. I finally asked her what and she said that my shorts were too short for school dress code. I laughed and sat down. Third day, she sent me to the assistant principal’s office. She came with me and angrily told her how I was disrespecting her authority. I told them “I have on a belt, these are Polo shorts, do you even know what that is?” The principal wasn’t amused. Every day I have to wear Polo or Columbia chinos but hey, at least I’m not going back on my principles and wearing long baggy shorts.
If I were you, I would go back on my last day with the shortest Polo shorts you can find. I’m talking Magnum P.I. inseams.
Then just sit back and watch the heads explode.
UTMKA,
No problem with a short haircut as long as it’s product free. The key is that it is consistent all over and not getting it TOO short.
Fratty J. McFratterson said in April 24th, 2007 at 9:04 pm
While the frat swoop will remain the standard for undergrad fratting, a short, conservative hair cut is totally acceptable. Take for instance those fratdaddies in the military…
On another note, I just thought of probably the most fratty song of all time: Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” Someone please tell me that if that song came on in a bar that you wouldn’t sing along:
“Turn around…I fuckin need you now tonight! I fuckin need you more than ever!”
Dixie said in April 24th, 2007 at 9:55 pm

I do remember one other time where a certain generally fratty bar in Athens was being invaded by AE et al…so I told one of them that was in one of my classes that “The Ninth Amendment” [fake band created impromptu] was playing at a club down the street, and that he should “totally check it out, dude.” He and 3 of his friends left right after that. A small victory, but one nonetheless. I wonder to this day how much money they wasted on getting into the club to see this “wicked awesome band”
Shell said in April 25th, 2007 at 12:30 am
I also exaggerated 2 of the details–no pledge picked me up, I ended up demanding that the host of the party call and pay for a taxi to take me home and I drive an Explorer, not a 4 Runner. The last one was actually a typo, I can’t think of a reason why I made that up…a little drunk from the night before maybe?
ZMudd said in April 25th, 2007 at 1:38 am
Since somebody brought up fratty quotes, I have one to offer. When talking to a sorostitute a few days after she shacked up at a fratparty, she expressed anger at the fact that he told his fellow fraternity brothers. To which I responded:
“Look you may be pissed that he told about when you hooked up with him. But no sorostitute is greater than drunken next morning story time. Its a fratlaw comparable to gravity”
Being a true sorostitute, she understood and offered her bed for the next time I come to town.

tEXas
This isn’t so much a one night thing, but an ongoing fratmosis. My chapter alone, currently the largest on campus, is making our school frat harder. We pioneered greek housing on campus, and while it is illegal (because of University rules and city ordinances) to have legit frat castles, we have taken over an on campus apartment building and will move in at the end of May. Last night at our school’s Greek Awards Banquet, amidst a few colonies which would be better off just going back to being GDI’s, we showed up in full frattiness. Our chapter was repping 2 seersucker blazers, countless pairs of boat shoes, a few bowties, and much, much more. To prove our superiority and frattiness, we won 4, count em, 4 awards when our main fratty competition won only 1 award. Even at a 7% greek school, it is possible to spread the gospel of fratty. I urge all those who aren’t blessed with a greek row or 15% greek student bodies to kick the ripped Abercrombie pants off of the other fraternities on campus and make you school frat harder. More to come…
Topsider said in April 25th, 2007 at 10:02 am
GDITolerant, you certainly dont lend any credibility to Missouri State fratting harder than the SEC schools when you talk about how fratty your chapter by saying how you wear cargo shorts and GAP fleeces, or in professing your love for Smirnoff Ice, Im hoping that you are just being Ironic, otherwise i hate to say it but it seems like Missouri State frats about as hard as as a dreadlocked hippie democrat at a Phish concert.

Chacos can be fratty. Maybe not with everyday attire, but certainly for climbing, hiking, rafting, or just throwing the football in front of the frat castle. Chacos complement a pair of Patagonia shorts and a Fraternity/Sorority t-shirt very well. For all other circumstances, Rainbows.
Bud sandals, about as fratty as a Toyota Supra. On that note, any item of clothing that gloats the name of an alcoholic beverage (such as the Corona board shorts commonly seen worn by GDI douche’s at the beach) are gay as fuck.

like Legacy Fratter, I too have problems when being unbelievably fratty at school. I usually wear a regular Polo/La Coste/Vineyard polo with dock shorts or chinos, and get comments about how I’m stupid for wasting money on the clothes from people wearing what I’m assuming is American Eagle and Aeropostale. I like to say that if they could afford Polo (or if they weren’t socially retarded) they know they’d buy it, but that’s just lowering myself to their level. I also get problems with dock short lengths, but this is from a Scion-driving, American Eagle faded Henley wearing, wannabe breakdancer douchebag who if you looked up in the dictionary would be right by GDI, so it doesn’t matter. It just shows how high school sucks and I’m glad I only have, what, 15 days of actual school?

I would just like to clear up the common misconception that the shorter your shorts are, the frattier they are. This is not ture. Just as cargo shorts past your knees is queer as hell, so are polo shorts that have an inseam so short your nut sack hangs out the bottom. The name of the game is conservatism. There is absolutely nothing conservative about wearing a pair of shorts that show more leg than the sorostitue standing next to you.
It is very common for the GDI species to attempt to blend into the fratty lifestyle by purchasing the shortest shorts they can find. A true fratdaddy can see right through this bag of douche and call him out on it. An 8-9″ inseam is about right for me, but Im a pretty tall guy.
Frattylight said in April 25th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
8-9″ inseam is way too long…almost GDI long. Hell, I’d even say 7″ is too long. I like Patagonia Stand-ups with 5″ inseam. Then again, I’m only 6′1, but they work well.
Frattylight said in April 25th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
By the way Mathews, I prefer the 301, but that’s just me. I think the double layer looks stupid.
PK said in April 25th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
McFrat,I feel you, I wear an an 8-9 inch inseam (I’m 6′4 though).
FTRUGA, I got plenty of shit in high school for wearing reds, madras, coral polos, seersucker pants, but just remember that you are and will always be better than any abercrombie wearing greasy guido GDI.
Fratagonia said in April 25th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
Same here on the 301s. The 302s look like they’re for chicks.
BamaFratDaddy said in April 25th, 2007 at 6:07 pm
This is kind of offtopic but so be it, I’ve noticed here at Alabama that topsiders are being replaced by “driving mocs” as the casual everyday shoe. GDIs have begun to start wearing topsiders here at UA. So Lacoste and Topsiders are on the downslide while VV and driving mocs are on the rise. Do your part to be on the leading edge of frattiness at your campus and make the transition now.
Fratastic said in April 25th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
I do not like all these people referring to their fraternity as a frat. You don’t call your country a cunt do you? The word frat is very accecptable only when you are not referring the your actual fraternity. It disgraces the thing this whole site is about. So have some respect for your fraternity and stop calling it a frat.
Referring to the Greek organization of which you are a member as “a frat” or “the frat”: unacceptable.
“Frat” and “Fratty” should be used ONLY as adjectives. i.e. “Frat Castle”, “Fratty shoes”, etc.

inquisitor said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:06 pm
I would like your opinions on a celebrity that some have qualms about in classifying as a fratty or GDI: Tucker Max
Tucker Max (www.tuckermax.com) is a writer of insanely funny stories of getting drunk and shacking. While these are fratty activities some are adimant in labeling Tucker Max as a GDI.
Tucker has fratty and unfratty qualities. He was not in a fraternity in college, but let’s face it, he went to two of the most unfratty colleges known to man. For undergrad he went to the University of Chicago. The University of Chicago is quite possibly the most GDI school in existence next to the Mecca of Douche - Berkley. For grad school he went to Duke. The only fratty thing about Duke is their lacrosse parties. Still, one must admire his spirit when put into these unfratty situations.
I now ask for your opinions on this controversial figure.
Hambone said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:07 pm
deffinately 301s mathews, im not gonna lie, i thought 302s were for girls. and im about 6′3″ so i ussualy go for a 8″ in seam.

PGT Beauregard said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
I would just like to remind everyone that ‘lol,’ ‘lmao,’ and other internet acronyms are not fratty.
An otherwise fratastic story can easily be tainted by a stray LOL or ROFL
PGT Beauregard said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:23 pm
I’m going to get between this fight real quick and respond to a question seersucker asked but no one answered.
Reefs with bottle openers are NOT fratty. In fact bottle openers in general are not fratty because if you are drinking beer with a bottle cap that doesn’t twist off, you’re obviously either not trying to get drunktaneous or you’re going about it the wrong way. Put your Saporo imports away and sip on some Woodford Reserve or fine wine instead.
x said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
PGT Beauregard I’m going to have to humbly disagree. Imported Beer without twist offs such as a nice New Castle or a Corona extra when on spring break can be fratty. Especially for the post-grad, more expensive beers are not inherantly unfratty.
Fratastic said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
o so your friends with the guys that like themselves more than vagina (sigms chi) and the biggest group of dickheads that can see daylight because their head is so far up their ass? yea brag alot about that.
We have had the best GPA on campus 4 out of 5 semesters, the fastest growing fraternity on campus, have had the best row week party 3 years in a row now, have won more intramural sports than any other fraternity, only fraternity on campus to win the award of excellence, and we are nominated for the grand high alpha award (which goes the best chapter in the nation). yea i guess are a pretty shitty fraternity

armyfrat6. said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Tucker Max is most decidely frat. Reasons:
1.) He shacks with an ungodly amount of sorostitutes no matter where he goes
2.) He consumes massive amounts of alcohol no matter where he goes - often spilling it on himself (TFM)
3.) Although his attire isn’t terribly fratty, he doesn’t gel his hair - I think that gets him some points
4.) He’s got a law degree
5.) In his own words, his dad is rich SOB who funded some of his schooling, but Tucker always picked up his own frattab
6.) He parties with different fraternities when he visits college campuses
7.) He’s a self-made man with a little help from dad; TFM
8.) And most importantly, he calls out fucksticks left and right no matter where he goes, regardless of the consequences
—–
I mean, unless i have left something out, he’s pretty fratastic. Any discussion?
Duresident said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
newcastle is amazing
PGT Beauregard said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:44 pm
Ok I will concede that spring break, post-grad fratting, and a few other situations are exceptions where getting drunk off imports is acceptable. they are the exception and not the rule however.
Also I have nothing against LXA or fratastic but winning intramural sports and getting plaques from nationals doesn’t make you a good fraternity. you may be, but its not because of that
Blue said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
Agreed armyfrat, Tucker Max has said before in his stories that had he gone to a bigger southern school (ie UVA or UT) he would have definitley pledged. But being that he went to UILL at Chicago and The University of New Jersey at Durham (aka Duke), he decided no to.
armyfrat6. said in April 25th, 2007 at 7:59 pm
Blue’s post is spot-on. A question in general, tho:
if someone is fratastic and decides to NOT pledge a fraternity if he goes to a notorious GDI school, even if it does have fraternities on campus, does that make him even more fratty…or should he make the attempt to inject some frattitude into the system, like a sense of obligation?
not lookin to attack anyone, just seein what people think
Deke said in April 25th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
J.Crew, fratty, fratty on occasion (none of their “distressed” shit, but Polo sells the same “distressed” shit anyways), or completley GDI?

New rule…if you are in high school i encourage you to continue to study the site but have some respect and wait till you atleast get a bid before you start making comments.
Hunter the Frattastic said in April 25th, 2007 at 8:15 pm
Lets talk about crocs. I find them to look like shoes a mexican would wash dishes in at a seedy restaurant. Am i wrong in not liking them. I know they are fairly new to the fratty wardrobe but seriously, look at them, they are made from rubber. I think a frat daddy can have a good wardrobe without them.
armyfrat6. said in April 25th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
i use crocs only when trout fishing. i swallow my pride because they work pretty good in that environment
PGT Beauregard said in April 25th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
I would say if youre using crocs for a practical purpose like trout fishing or say, showering in a dorm, then theyre fine.
i dont personally own a pair though
Jonathan said in April 25th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
In my opinion Crocs are about as frat as a pair of Corona board shorts and a wicker hat.
Hambone said in April 25th, 2007 at 8:55 pm
I would never wear crocs, not even if frattinghard declared them to be the frattiest item invented since the collard shirt.
Fratty J. McFratterson said in April 25th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
Fratastic and x:
Arguing on a fucking internet forum = perhaps the most un-fratty, GDI, gel-headed douche bag move of all times. I congratulate you.
In other news, I agree with fratwater blues rule about HS “fratdaddies” posting comments. Take questions fellas, ask questions, but please do not tell us about how much of a fratdaddy you are until you actually graduate. I have full faith that our esteemed professors of fratology will adequately prepare for the future of hardcore fratting that lies ahead of you.
Crocs while trout fishing = TFM. Then again, just about anything is fratty when being worn for trout fishing.
On a final note, I have nothing against KA or LXA. I have met my fair share of boy kissers from both fraternities. Then again, I have had some really good times with both of them. It depends on the school.
Blue said in April 25th, 2007 at 9:13 pm
armyfrat, in reference to your previous question about not pledging at mostly GDI schools, I feel that if there is hope for fratmosis to occur and goodtimes to be had, then by all means pledge and attempt to inject some frattiness. But if there seems to be no hope in sight…save your time, money, and visit fratty schools on the weekends.
FSUFrattyPhi said in April 25th, 2007 at 9:13 pm
Crocs should not be worn as any part of a true fratdaddy’s daily attire. However, they are acceptable when doing tasks that would ruin a pair of Top-siders.
Dixie said in April 25th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
Crocs are pretty shitty to wear in public.
Just out of curiousity, how many out there are KAs like myself?
Ok guys….some good conversation here, but we’re getting off-topic.
I know a bunch of you have some tales of glory about nights that you fratted so hard you could feel soreness in your fratgland the next morning. Let’s hear about them.
Mathews said in April 25th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Good lord, if you saw your CEO neighbor inspecting the job the neighborhood mower did on his yard in crocs would you lose all respect for him? I’d hope so, for fuck’s sake, crocs are the least fratty thing on the planet. Even you’re run of the mill GDI knows they look fucking ridiculous.
I’m seeing a large disconnect here. Apparently no one understands the difference between northern and southern fraternities. In the vast and I do mean vast majority of the cases, northern fraternities are filled with individuals that rank among the worst of GDI’s in southern schools. Southern schools demonstrate in their Tier 1 fraternities what it truly is to be a fratstar. I’m talking about fraternities where the average member comes from old money, a good southern family, and has business connections to insure that even with a less than stellar 2.8 GPA you’ll be making 200k 4 years out of college.
For those in the north, I’m sorry, but their is nothing fratty about any fraternities you know.
Jonathan said in April 26th, 2007 at 1:27 am

Eric Stratton said in April 26th, 2007 at 8:01 am
To briefly address the Crocs comments, they are never fratty and never acceptable to wear under any circumstances. Crocs are cheap, available in liberal colors, made of rubber, and contain many unnecessary holes for “breathability.” Therefore, Crocs are completely GDI and no fratdaddy or sorostitute should ever support such GDIsm. If you need old shoes for fishing or working, wear a barfunk covered pair of Sperrys, Cole Hahn Driving Mocs, or Newbies. - Professor Stratton
BamaFratDaddy said in April 26th, 2007 at 9:29 am
Crocs are GDI period. As is wearing any type of clothing with a beer company. The only exception to the beer rule is if its a greek shirt and it has a beer company logo on it.
Topsider said in April 26th, 2007 at 10:26 am
As a southerner doing Grad School North of the Mason Dixon I agree wholeheartedly with Matthews. The Dougchbag to Fratty ratio up here, is staggering.
Fratagonia said in April 26th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
I disagree with the beer attire rule. I feel that if you’re wearing budweiser or corona trunks or visors, that is definitely douche-esque. However, I sport my Sam Adams hat every once and a while or while I’m fishing. My justification? As founders of one of the first fraternal orders in America and being master brewers, I find that John and Sam Adams are damn fine patriots, and fratastic in their own right. And they make a damn good beer (whoever said that drinking anything that isn’t a twist off is unfratty is just plain wrong)
Michael T. Fratterson the IV said in April 26th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
Responding to Deke, It is still possible to get fratty clothing at J-Crew, mostly shorts, pants and jackets, but they are quickly losing all frat credibility. They seem to be moving away from the Brooks Brothers competitor of past years and quickly descending into the gel-head category.
I am a fan of the 5 inch in-seem stand-ups and the 6 inch in-seem Polo Andrew Short. There are some that cannot pull off the shorter shorts but anything touching your knee is getting questionable.
Crocs should not be worn unless your trout fishing, in which case it is completely acceptable.
Great Fratty Beer with twist off - Shiner Bach
GDIntollerant should be banned from this website. Seriously you were a wasted bid.
And I’ll end with a question. What is the official ruling on brightly colored pants. I am a fan of the occasional Carolina Blue or pastel green pants, but how far is too far?
Eric Stratton said in April 26th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Michael,
Pastel-colored pants are acceptable to wear, especially during the spring, as long as you do it in moderation. The colors offered by the fratty brands previously mentioned in our lectures generally will not violate any rules of fratting hard. Avoid any colors that are exceptionally bright and are typically not seen covering the lower extremities of fellow fratdaddies. Red, blue, and green are your safest choices. - Professor Stratton
UT fratty said in April 26th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
Agreed, J. Crew is quickly going down the shit hole, mainly because their clothing lines are more and more beginning to be made from cheaper materials, and instead of trying to be on par with Brooks Brothers they have started to be a pseudo GAP/Eddie Bauer style and can be seen being worn by any random GDI fuck that lives their lives at the local “independent” coffee shop.
And, KA is definitely a good fraternity in most places; it even happens to be the ONLY true southern fraternity at Tulane, where on of my friends goes. However, here at UT, KA is the biggest fag/GDI bunch of douchebags I’ve ever seen. Furthermore, they accept yankees, douchebags, minorities, etc; most of which admittedly join the newly colonized chapter here, and plan on transferring schools where the chapter is better, so they won’t have to go through a true pledging process because they’re afraid of getting hazed.
And, agreed on the GDI-ness of crocs and alcohol-branded clothes; my grandparents wear crocs when watering their gardens, and Corona flip flops are sold at Wal-mart.

UTMKA said in April 26th, 2007 at 3:15 pm
UT Fratty, you may find this funny…
My chapter had provine council with the UT chapter of KA. That’s basically the big thing where all the chapters in our province come together for one big meeting and some awards. (We won numerous, btw). Anyway, I heard one of the UT KA’s talking shit about my campus (It’s a small school) and promptly called him a pledge and told him he didn’t know shit. I found it hilarious seeing as how their colony hadn’t been initiated yet. Needless to say he didn’t laugh so much.
Mathews said in April 26th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
If you’re trout fishing then you better be fly fishing. If you’re fly fishing, you better be in waders. If you aren’t 1. you arent fishing right 2. you look like a retard. Only acceptable bait and tackle trout fishing is Lake Trout, and you still aren’t going to be wearing crocs then.
A hat if about the only thing that should be considered (flip flops and swim trunks? No. Never.) Then it DOES matter what brand of beer you’re going with.
Budweiser, Coors, etc. should be left to your local auto mechanic. If you have a favorite regional beer (Abita), or something a big higher class, then you can wear your hat on occasion.
Don’t be the kind of guy that wears a beer hat out every night to the bar, though. All things in moderation, except shacking. Do that every night.
Fratty J. McFratterson said in April 26th, 2007 at 3:55 pm
1. crocs are not fratty at all. end of discussion.
2. back ontopic:
one night we were getting incredibly fratty. the fratmosphere in the basement (dance floor) and everywhere in our frat castle was at incredible levels. after consuming copious ammounts of liqour and frat water, a sorostitute suggested we did something “incredibly fratty!” her words, not mine. we ended up shacking up on the front stairs of my frat castle at approx. 4 am.

Fratty J. McFratterson said in April 26th, 2007 at 4:03 pm
Hey guys…I’d like to respond to some goings-on here lately…
First of all, you have probably noticed Professor Stratton responding to more questions and comments. Take heed of his wise words…I’ve personally seen him make heads explode from over a mile away.
Second, several folks (both here and via email) have asked about us adding a forum. We’ve decided not to do that for several reasons. You guys have been absolutely great in keeping discussion up on this site and spreading the frat gospel (we’ve gone from about 200 visitors a day at the start of April to over 1000 visitors a day now), that we feel that it is the best policy to keep you all abreast of the decisions we make about what is/what’s not going on the site. After all, many of our best articles have come at the suggestion of our readers.
We want this site to be a positive source of fratty education. Unfortunately, some other Greek lifestyle sites had forums, and they sort of depreciated into places that were not positive. We don’t post articles about “X Fraternity Isn’t Fratty”, because it’s not our goal to harp on you if your fraternity isn’t fratting hard enough. Our goal is to IDENTIFY your latent douchebaggery and FIX THE PROBLEM. Our mission is to get any fratdaddy that reads this site to frat harder as a result of what he reads here, period.
If we had time to give a forum the time that it needs, we’d do it, but we don’t have that time right now. We are very happy with the outstanding discussions we get in our comments to posts, however. Since they’re in response to a specific topic, they tend to get a lot of comments directly on that topic, and then people ask collateral questions, the next thing we know we’re having a worthwhile discussion of something only tangentially related to the original topic. It’s been working out great, and right now we don’t want to mess with success.
I’m not saying that, at some point down the road, a forum might not be added. However, while we don’t have time to give it the attention it deserves, we’re not going to put one up and let some idiots come over, take it over, and ruin it for people trying to actually engage in a level of fratstudy that is higher than you can get anywhere else.
However, we are ALWAYS open to suggestions. I do not lie when I tell you that EVERY comment on this site is read by one of us, and MOST are read by both. We respond to every emailed question we receive (and if we haven’t responded to one you’ve sent, send it to us again). If you have any suggestions for the site, we want to hear them.
Thanks, and it’s Thursday night….so all of you should be preparing to crank up your weekend fratitude.
Prof. Neidermeyer.
Fratty J. McFratterson said in April 26th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
Nothing is frattier than kicking some meathead GDI’s faggot ass then shacking with his girlfriend, and sending her some with one of your fraternity shirts…
We used the term around our chosen sorostitutes before this site was even in existence, and the next thing we knew they had spread it all over their sororities. We were hearing it out of their sorostisisters in bars within a week.
As if it wasn’t already settled, I think that UT Fratty ended the “beer gear” discussion re: average beers:
“….Corona flip flops are sold at Wal-mart.”
Next.
UTMKA said in April 26th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
Do anyone here utilize EBay for some of their clothing purchases? I have bought a couple of shirts off of there but I always fear that they’re fake. Just curious what people’s opinions were on that.
Legacy Fratter said in April 26th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
Hmm, UTMKA I have gotten a fake Lacsote shirt off of eBay has a birthday gift so I tend to stay away from them. As to the comments as far as being a high schooler and not posting, I completely agree and questioned if I should have even posted on here but I thought the story was quite funny and wanted to share it. I do agree that I shouldn’t be celebrating as if I were the Fratty King. however, I admire the fact that this site was made and I use it a lot for seeing what is cool and what isn’t. I am looking forward to rushing and hopefully pledging, but I NEVER bank on the fact that I will automatically get in.
ZMudd said in April 26th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
The only clothing purchases I make on EBay are of fratty shirts from other chapters. And only then if it’s a chapter that I havent done a little shirt-swapping with before then. That’s about the only clothing I’m willing to buy “second-hand.”
PGT Beauregard said in April 26th, 2007 at 5:10 pm
If there’s one thing I hate more than corona flip flops and flowered boardshorts, its fake brand names. first of all, it defeats the purpose of wearing quality clothes and also it is an indisputable indictator of douchebaggery.
i couldn’t stand wearing secondhand clothes either but to each’s own..
GeauxFratty said in April 26th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
I don’t know if I can agree with any of ya’ll on the Crocs… They are great for the outdoors.
As for the Beer logos, cheap flip flops, and straw hats… Total GDI move.

You hit the nail on the head, Abita gear with Abita logos, is fratty.

No, we haven’t disclosed our location for several reasons…..we like the bit of privacy we’ve got by not disclosing, and at the same time, we can call out problems that we see in our own area with no worries. We think it lets us relax while not holding any punches when we see something we want to talk about.
On Abita….I dare one of you to find me a better glass of beer than an Abita Amber straight off the tap one hot, humid night in New Orleans. It’s damn near perfection.
(I like the occasional 6′er of Turbodog, as well)
Drew Austin said in April 26th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
We all know that living in your khakis is fratty but what khakis are the most fratty? I would have to say I live in Country Club Pleat Front Chino Pant which are a little darker but others have argued that lighter khakis are more fratty.
Medical school, like a lot of professional schools (law school, MBA, etc.) will allow you to seriously raise your post-grad fratting potential. Very fratty.
Just remember…you have to study hard, but frat hard whenever you can, as well. I’m sure you will learn, if you don’t use your muscles, they will atrophy. Similarly, if you don’t use your frat gland, it will start producing less and less fratosterone. Exercise it whenever you can.
Congratulations on your achievement.

So I’m still in High School, but I keep everything fratty. I was at a party mainly filled with local kids (I’m usually absent from those). These people ranged from Abercrombie meatheads to tight clothed Volcom/Fox skater/fake-surfer kids. Very unfratty, in my opinion. So I show up with a few others and we stuck out like a sore thumb. Not only was our ride not a Chevy cobalt, Dodge SRT, or toyota x-runner, but we were missing our popped collars and puka shells. So basically we were there for the booze and women. We enter and shudder as “Pop Lock and Drop it” is being played as people in the living room smoke while those upstairs are dancing. We find that the secondary cooler is in the upstairs living room (filled with Smirnoff, colt 45’s, and natty light) where quite a crowd has gathered. We decided that we want to take the cooler and leave. Basically, the two girls in my group start a fake fight downstairs which causes a ruckus and clears upstairs. I proceed to back my truck under the window of a nearby bedroom (side of the house) and get into the bed to help lower the cooler into the truck, covering it with my bed mat. I then proceed to assist the two upstairs into the truck bed through the window with a ladder I keep for work as we drive off and meet the girls who had ran from the house at the gas station down the street. We didn’t improve the party itself, but we did improve our night by relieving some undeserving, future GDIs of their frat water. What happened from there is the stuff of legends.
FTRUGA, it’d be bad ass if you were in one of those high school Fraternities like they have in Mobile, Alabama (probably one of the frattiest high school scenes existing).
Plain and simple, Reggie’s in TigerLand of Baton Rouge… If you are ever put in the situation, drown yourself in the cheap shots and make as much fun of the Ronnie’s (look the group up on FaceBook, (Ronnie: Learn about the Legend)) aka GDIs who dance much mores than any of the sluts skanks whores there. They all have on tight shirts with gay designs on the front, and skin tight. Their hair is so full of gel, that you can smell it over the multiple sprays of cologne all over. Basically, if you are ever at Reggie’s talk shit to the owner, J.L., and call him just one of the regulars who go there who try to fight college kids. I know Reggie’s is one of the only bars that is 18 to get in, but please, make the best of the situation…
No, I live in boring southeast GA, but I try to frat as hard as possible. We did stay for a good 45 minutes, as I was busy for a good 30 mins, but there’s no way that we were going to stay. Why party at this stupid kid’s house when we can steal their stuff (maybe not so fratty in principle, but it was in execution) and drink it all at my friend’s dad’s expensive beach house in Fernandina beach, FL with much better company?
I have some friends that go to LSU so I might visit that place one day.
I want to add that I’m not meaning to gloat, I just want to make sure I’m headed down the right path for this summer/fall.
FTRUGA,
Sounds like you are well on your way. I was laughing out loud at backing your truck up to get the cooler.
You did those douchebags a favor. The only thing more annoying than a douchebag is a drunk douchebag.
Speaking of this FTRUGA’s beach house, I was wondering if its possible to truly frat as hard as possible when in Europe. I go to a family beach house in Tuscany every summer, and although the summer visitors are undeniably fratty (polo field, golf course, sailing) the night scene seems to be overrun by night clubs and and expensive bars. How can i frat as hard as possible in the summer, while still partaking in the same activities as the rest of the beach locale?
VAtal I think part of your answer is in part of your question. Being in the Tuscany Region of Italy, you reside in the motherland of wine. The true fratter should know a veritable gold mine when he sees one. My personal favorite activity during the day is beach bocce while enjoying a good bottle of wine from the local winery. And as for night activities, the expensive bars you refer to would be a great place to rack up a truly legendary frat tab.
Best of luck, and happy fratting!
Oh man, I love Smirnoff Ice; it’s my favorite.
GDItolerant you suck and are a complete disgrace to all of us fratdaddies. you make me throw up everytime i read your comments. especially this one. your representation of northern fraternities is horrible and it is people like you that make us southern fratdaddies become ashamed to even possibly be part of the same fraternity. now please excuse me i must go get into my frathoe and drive over to sorority row and shack up for the night with my sorostitute.
FTRUGA, you make me proud to be a fratdaddy from South Georgia. Your fratitude is something that too few kids your age have. Hopefully, we will see you at rush.
Ok so we are at Sandestin for spring break this last march. We had rented a 4 bedroom villa on the beach and had a party one night. I bunch of gel heads from south florida showed up and it was a cock block fest. So me seeing the deuchbaggery of the situation busted out a beer bong got wasted and began to spit game on one of the girls. The gel heads were pushed to the side because the girls saw there GDI ways. Long story short we ran a train on a sorostitute after being obliterated while the gel heads when home empty handed. While we normally dont run trains it was quite funny and it was also spring break. We also got pictures lmao.
we= my frat brother & I ^
“Running a train” is for douchebags and is not fratty.
Speaking of fratting hard outside of the border, this reminds me of a time when I was infact out of my element. The place: Mont Tremblant, CA. The setting: a local bar filled with a mixture of people in their earlier twenties on spring break, and GDI local snow board faggots.
The place was pretty sweet, but the atmosphere was gayer than AIDS. I was looked down upon for wearing my khakis with wallabees, a pastel polo, a mountain hardwear jacket, and an old Auburn hat…apparently the Canadian Avril Lavigne wanna be sluts aren’t into american fratty guys beacuse I was getting shot down left and right.
Not only was I getting zero attention from these local girls, but every GDI gel-haired faggot in the place was grinding up on one of these bitches to some lame ass rap song.
Then I spotted a group of 5 girls who had on pearls and dresses instead of torn jeans and ties as belts…jackpot. I quickly approched the sorostitues and introduced myself like a gentleman.
We quickly took over the environment and boosted the fratmosphere by convincing the DJ to put on AC/DC “Shook Me All Night Long”, Bon Jovi “Livin on A Prayer”, and “Sweet Home Alabama”. I also took it upon myself to frat tab to the extreme by ordering several shots of bourbon, and several Coors Lights (only American beer in the place), and drinks for the ladies.
I concluded the evening by beating the shit out of some GDI snowboard douche who had the testicles to approach me and say “You wanna start shit?” after I very sarcastically told him that his popped collar was cool. After taking a shot of Beam I got in the faggots face and said “I don’t start shit, I finish it.” WHAM…GDI falls to floor, fratdaddy pays outrageous bar tab (with credit card), 2 sorostitues leave with fratdaddy…fratdaddies 1, GDIs 0.
McFrat, quality story! AC/DC, Bon Jovi, CCR, ZZtop, Seger etc are certain to instantly drain the vinegar out of the situation you described, good choice on fratty music. high marks also for making fun of popped collar faggots trying to be hardass. i say trying b/c if you have a popped collar you might as well carry a neon sign that says “i’m a weak little bitch.” keep on fratting.
McFrat-
Thanks for just leaving with the sorostitutes and not “running a train” on them. Having sex with another male in the room is more GDI than a Star Trek-themed ultimate frisbee tournament co-sponsored by the College Democrats and the campus dry fraternity.
Entire generations of fratdaddies thank you
In addition, here’s my story:
Last year, I’m interviewing for a job with a financial firm in Washington DC. I don’t know if y’all are familiar with the town, but it really is a bizarre mix of fratty professionals and the most gelled headed hardcore liberals who don’t own anything that isn’t skin tight or earth toned.
The interview went great and most of the guys were fratty dudes from good southern schools; UVA, UNC, UT, etc. My flight was scheduled to leave that evening, but some of the guys wanted to go out drinking (I was pretty certain I had locked the job at this point). I grew up 15 minutes outside of DC, so I figured I’d just pay mom and dad a surprise visit and crash back in my old bedroom from highschool.
So we’re out partying, and unfortunately the entire douchebag faction of DC was out in full force; I’m talking butch lesbians, emo kids, pansies from the NE, you name it. So we decide to compensate by creating the hugest possible frat tab, and then expensing it back to the company….since they apparently wanted to hire me, it would count as a recruiting expense.
We each rip about 8-9 bombay tonics, and I’m feeling like it’s about time for a dip. Unfortunately, finding skoal in DC is like finding hair gel in a KA house. Quick thinking, I decide to haze my own little brother, who is a senior in high school, and make him drive into the city and bring me a can of dip. He gets there 30 mins later (he’s gonna make a good pledge).
So we’re all sitting around at a nice bar, throwing in huge dips, and relishing in the disgusted looks that all the gel-heads and fat girls are giving us when, like a symphony, we hear southern accents and giggling girls behind us.
Long story short, we meet a bunch of girls from Nashville, and they’re definitely cool with our Southern/manly ways. I was chatting one up hardcore, and convince her to leave with me. Not wanting to shack at my parents house, I quick thinkingly decided that the Hay-Adams hotel would be a great place to shack…since I had already dropped a good 100 buying her drinks, what’s another 350 for a room?
Best 450 I ever spent
Great stories, all around. Before I was able to surround myself with the more elite members of society at college (I won’t mention the college because it is Yankee-tastic and my fellow southrons would be ashamed, rest assured I am returning to the promised land for law school and fratastic post-grad lifestyle), I grew up in a small town on the Arkansas/Oklahoma border - not exactly Charleston… so I was constantly given the opportunity to inject fratitude into the gatherings of those less fratinate. On one occasion, when on holiday break, I found myself surrounded by a typical species for the Arklatex region, the hybrid meathead/redneck who occasionally displays some characteristics of a fratdaddy but often gels its hair and wears abercrombie when it enters the mating season. Luckily I had a few of my fellow fratdaddies with me when we entered the party filled with these animals and a few sluts. There was Smirnoff and other despicable concoctions that pass for a “drink” everywhere, but we of course had our own ample stash of mid-range domestic and a few Shiner Bocks in the frathoe. Because we had been in these situations before, we simply walked in with a double stack each and left the rest in the ‘hoe. Once the red-meats had found we weren’t going to play any gorilla games they began trying to befriend us and we were soon the life of the party as we were obviously the most experienced and able at the exercise of partying. The greatest moment came when they ran out of drinks, as the amateurs always do, and had no way of purchasing more alcohol, because they lack the foresight to purchase a fake id while sober during the workweek between the hours of 8 and 6. We politely suggested that the party not end, that we each had a fake id and would gladly buy beer if the money were only supplied to us. The drunks of course got extremely excited and began pulling out a surprising amount of cash for this beer. Of course, once the smoke cleared all we had to do was go outside and down the street to the ‘hoe (a true fratdaddy always parks a small distance from the party in order for quick get-aways and situations such as this) and enjoy a quick pinch of copenhagen. A few minutes later, we returned victorious with a few cases of Budweiser, a handsome profit in our pockets and the smiles only a true fratdaddy can wear when he saves a floundering party while perpetuating the universal admiration for true fratitude….
I really enjoy hearing stories from other fratdaddies about Canada. I am from Sarasota Fl, which has always been pretty fratty, however I am currently going to school in Vancouver, British Columbia. My school has a hard core contingent of Fratty Individuals who run the fraternities up here, but we are surrounded by every kind of douchbaggery known to man. From the dreadlocked hippies, to the shaved head feminists, to white rappers, to kids who have more gel in their hair than there is Oil in Saudi. I have tried to frat hard and set an example, yet sometimes it gets frustrating because of the sheer numbers of GDI and other douchbaggery. However by rocking topsiders, dockshorts, polos, and Costas to the bars during the summer, I clean house with the visiting American girls up here. Also my frattabbing has become legendary (however not as much as in the day when the american dollar was worth 1.40 up here) the biggest problem up here besides the rampant douchbaggery and anti-frat bias is the lack of decent fratwater. Bud light has only just become available up here, and Natty Light is unheard of. I actually get my Bros visiting from other chapters to bring me up cases of fratwater before crossing the border. However one big perk about living up here, fratting hard will get you noticed quickly by alum, and also by vancouvers buisness elite who even though they are canadian, are very fratty. Fratting in Spirt can be done, even north of the border, its just harder.
Waffle House,
Keep in mind that while I did not run a train on said sorostitues, I shacked with both of them….twice.
seems like alot of yall are including how much you spent in your stories but i’d like to remind all of yall that it is pretty GDI to talk about how much money you spent on alcohol. Instead of being like oh wow I spent 100 dollars at the bar. It should already be understood that when a fratdaddy takes a seat at a bar he is ready and willing to spend excessive amounts of money. The point is taking about money is pretty GDI.
i must agree to disagree with you there. agreed that talking about money in front of sorostitutes is indeed a JV move, it definitely is appropriate fodder for a gentlemanly forum.
while in spirit I wish i could say “right on” to your willingness to spend excessive amounts of money everytime you sit down at a bar, the reality is there are only two types of fratdaddies who can actually do this; ones who are so damn spoiled by their parents that they have zero life skills, and ones who actually do care about money but instead pretend to be rich on internet forums
getting dad to buy you a frathoe = tfm
getting dad to pay for your bartabs= questionable
I agree with wafflehouse on the parents paying for you frattab. Its pretty standard having them pay rent, tuition, dues, and also buy your Frathoe, but ive never tried to expense my frattabs that way, if my parents knew the exact dollar amount I was drinking every month, they wouldnt be nearly as supportive of the other aspects of my life. Parents always will know their son drinks if he is in a frat, but I dont like to rub it in their face.
“Unfortunately, finding skoal in DC is like finding hair gel in a KA house.”
best analogy ever
This could be addressed in the next topic. The frattiest haircuts obviously are:
1. Frat Shag
2. Comb Over
3.
4.
Any other suggestions? I was going to say a bald-fade or maybe some emo-bangs, but then I questioned myself. Are those are even remotely fratty?
So I sat here and thought about it for awhile. Well guess what, I finally figured it out. The answer’s, no. They’re not fratty at all. Why was I even thinking that in the first place? Am I losing frat touch? Can someone throw a few good ideas out there and bring me back to fratality?
Frat fro- unwieldly mass of hair, similar to Bluto in Animal House
I like the frat shag for undergrad, with a smooth transition into a crew comb over for post-grad life.
Frat Swoop - mixture of the frat shag and crew comb over. Great for the undergrad because it mixes the sense of style you obtained from your wealthy parents with the fact that you get way to drunktaneous for regular haircuts.
So what’s the opinion of the fratdaddies on a conservative short haircut? No product or part, more of a shaved fade type.
I’ve been to Mount Tremblant…i thought i was the only one lol of course it was with my parents when i was like 10 tho, but even then i knew that bald guys with tattoos and guys with spikes and ear piercings werent cool…so yea needless to say, i felt alone hanging out with the kids when i had on polos and khakis and the other kids had pokemon t shirts…a few of my friends and i were having a discussion on proper fratty hairstyles, as we are only in highschool and are only counting down the days til we pledge and reading that made me laugh one of my friends has an amazing swoop and always flaunts it…while i have curly hair which sometimes sucks i suppose i could grow a decent frat fro
Alot of you misunderstood, a train is where there are not 2 men in the room, thats a tag team. there was not 2 if us in the bedroom at once. just to clear that up
WhyAreDouchebagsOnFrattingHard?
Missouri State frats harder than any other SEC School. Fact.
GDItolerant Missouri State isn’t an SEC school. Nice one. I am also like FTRUGA, a senior in high school ridden with douche bags. Luckily, my brother got ahead of me and taught me how to be fratty when he went away to college. At my school, it’s the exact same as FTRUGA, douche bags who drive “fast, hip, Japanese” cars and are interested in puka shells and cargo shorts. Greatest story I’ve been telling comes from the first three days of my senior year. It’s hot in August, so I’m wearing shorts to class. My last teacher of the day tells me I’m in violation of the dress code. Knowing that she was a bitch, I ignored her and sat down at my seat. The second day came and she told me again that I was in violation of the dress code. I finally asked her what and she said that my shorts were too short for school dress code. I laughed and sat down. Third day, she sent me to the assistant principal’s office. She came with me and angrily told her how I was disrespecting her authority. I told them “I have on a belt, these are Polo shorts, do you even know what that is?” The principal wasn’t amused. Every day I have to wear Polo or Columbia chinos but hey, at least I’m not going back on my principles and wearing long baggy shorts.
Legacy,
If I were you, I would go back on my last day with the shortest Polo shorts you can find. I’m talking Magnum P.I. inseams.
Then just sit back and watch the heads explode.
UTMKA,
No problem with a short haircut as long as it’s product free. The key is that it is consistent all over and not getting it TOO short.
While the frat swoop will remain the standard for undergrad fratting, a short, conservative hair cut is totally acceptable. Take for instance those fratdaddies in the military…
On another note, I just thought of probably the most fratty song of all time: Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” Someone please tell me that if that song came on in a bar that you wouldn’t sing along:
“Turn around…I fuckin need you now tonight! I fuckin need you more than ever!”
The frat swoop enables me to frat hard every day. And the sorostitutes love it.
“Unfortunately, finding skoal in DC is like finding hair gel in a KA house” - hahaha that’s the truth.
“Skoal in DC”…..one of the our all time greatest quotes here.
dude douches say i’m in violation of the dress code whenever i wear my vv dock shorts…they just have no concept they cant really be at fault
The dock shorts are fratty, but be sure not to match them with the VV belt as well.
Classic….
“Unfortunately, finding skoal in DC is like finding hair gel in a KA house.”
We may have to start a “Greatest Fratty Quotes” page, as inspired by the Skoal in DC comment.
nope never…i wore the confederate flags canvas belt today…skoal is probably like 8 dollars a can up there too
“Missouri State frats harder than any other SEC School” I would haze the person who said this, but their name is GDItolerant: he/she/it is not even close to being worthy of being hazed by me.
Haha, I commented as PledgefrontandCenter from one of UGA’s computers. Using an alias on public computers to relate fratastic stories=TFM? I’ll let you guys be the judge, as fratty is in the eye of the beholder.
I do remember one other time where a certain generally fratty bar in Athens was being invaded by AE et al…so I told one of them that was in one of my classes that “The Ninth Amendment” [fake band created impromptu] was playing at a club down the street, and that he should “totally check it out, dude.” He and 3 of his friends left right after that. A small victory, but one nonetheless. I wonder to this day how much money they wasted on getting into the club to see this “wicked awesome band”
I also exaggerated 2 of the details–no pledge picked me up, I ended up demanding that the host of the party call and pay for a taxi to take me home and I drive an Explorer, not a 4 Runner. The last one was actually a typo, I can’t think of a reason why I made that up…a little drunk from the night before maybe?
Since somebody brought up fratty quotes, I have one to offer. When talking to a sorostitute a few days after she shacked up at a fratparty, she expressed anger at the fact that he told his fellow fraternity brothers. To which I responded:
“Look you may be pissed that he told about when you hooked up with him. But no sorostitute is greater than drunken next morning story time. Its a fratlaw comparable to gravity”
Being a true sorostitute, she understood and offered her bed for the next time I come to town.
Legacy Fratter. You should try reading my post before posting yourself. And Missouri State frats harder than any school you will go to.
We frat so hard down here some call us “Ole Miss”ouri State.
With the summer months coming in, I must ask:
While Rainbows are solid, reefs seem to have been taken over by the stoner GDIs… but what about the limited budweiser edition reefs with bottle openers on the bottom? Fratty?
If you are considered “Ole Miss”ouri State, would that not make Ole Miss way frattier than yall?
I think Reefs are for GDIs. Rainbows or ZepPros is where it’s at.
GDItolerant, Missouri State, fratting harder than any SEC school? Please…
Doug Neidermeyer,
How about making this comment thing into a forum part of the site, it would be alot easier to post, and I think you would have alot more people posting. Just a thought,
tEXas
This isn’t so much a one night thing, but an ongoing fratmosis. My chapter alone, currently the largest on campus, is making our school frat harder. We pioneered greek housing on campus, and while it is illegal (because of University rules and city ordinances) to have legit frat castles, we have taken over an on campus apartment building and will move in at the end of May. Last night at our school’s Greek Awards Banquet, amidst a few colonies which would be better off just going back to being GDI’s, we showed up in full frattiness. Our chapter was repping 2 seersucker blazers, countless pairs of boat shoes, a few bowties, and much, much more. To prove our superiority and frattiness, we won 4, count em, 4 awards when our main fratty competition won only 1 award. Even at a 7% greek school, it is possible to spread the gospel of fratty. I urge all those who aren’t blessed with a greek row or 15% greek student bodies to kick the ripped Abercrombie pants off of the other fraternities on campus and make you school frat harder. More to come…
GDITolerant, you certainly dont lend any credibility to Missouri State fratting harder than the SEC schools when you talk about how fratty your chapter by saying how you wear cargo shorts and GAP fleeces, or in professing your love for Smirnoff Ice, Im hoping that you are just being Ironic, otherwise i hate to say it but it seems like Missouri State frats about as hard as as a dreadlocked hippie democrat at a Phish concert.
tEXas, great idea… like the old fratty.net boards..
Greek Awards banquets are lame
As is using the phrase “repping” when referring to members of your chapters attire. I apologize for the three consecutive posts, something a forum system applied as mentioned earlier would be able to prevent. Just a thought.
you may wanna add chacos to the list of fratty sandals
only 2 seersucker blazers? you guys sound like pi kaps
Sperry flipflops as well. And no school whose football team is in the Gateway Conference will ever frat harder than an SEC school.
I was gelling my hair and trimming my pubes while bonging some Zimas the other night, then I totally got laid by some chick I met at a Rob Zombie concert, she had 9 piercings
Chris Landau, Exactly…
GDItolerant, you using the Ole Miss name to try to make your school look cooler is like wearing those ralph lauren shirts with the massive polo pony on them…you think you’re showing how fratty you are, but really, we’re just all sorry that you’re obviously that desperate.
Chacos can be fratty. Maybe not with everyday attire, but certainly for climbing, hiking, rafting, or just throwing the football in front of the frat castle. Chacos complement a pair of Patagonia shorts and a Fraternity/Sorority t-shirt very well. For all other circumstances, Rainbows.
Bud sandals, about as fratty as a Toyota Supra. On that note, any item of clothing that gloats the name of an alcoholic beverage (such as the Corona board shorts commonly seen worn by GDI douche’s at the beach) are gay as fuck.
Doug, I agree with the forum idea. GDItolerant, kill yourself.
There is only one question when it comes to sandals. 301s or 302s? If you dont know what im referring to, get the fuck off this site.
i agree with ole-miss tri delt…. while on the topic of polo…. is it just me or has anybody else noticed an increase in size of the pony being printed on the normal ralph lauren polos? not the be confused with the obvious obnoxious oversized ones, but the classic ones….
like Legacy Fratter, I too have problems when being unbelievably fratty at school. I usually wear a regular Polo/La Coste/Vineyard polo with dock shorts or chinos, and get comments about how I’m stupid for wasting money on the clothes from people wearing what I’m assuming is American Eagle and Aeropostale. I like to say that if they could afford Polo (or if they weren’t socially retarded) they know they’d buy it, but that’s just lowering myself to their level. I also get problems with dock short lengths, but this is from a Scion-driving, American Eagle faded Henley wearing, wannabe breakdancer douchebag who if you looked up in the dictionary would be right by GDI, so it doesn’t matter. It just shows how high school sucks and I’m glad I only have, what, 15 days of actual school?
I would just like to clear up the common misconception that the shorter your shorts are, the frattier they are. This is not ture. Just as cargo shorts past your knees is queer as hell, so are polo shorts that have an inseam so short your nut sack hangs out the bottom. The name of the game is conservatism. There is absolutely nothing conservative about wearing a pair of shorts that show more leg than the sorostitue standing next to you.
It is very common for the GDI species to attempt to blend into the fratty lifestyle by purchasing the shortest shorts they can find. A true fratdaddy can see right through this bag of douche and call him out on it. An 8-9″ inseam is about right for me, but Im a pretty tall guy.
8-9″ inseam is way too long…almost GDI long. Hell, I’d even say 7″ is too long. I like Patagonia Stand-ups with 5″ inseam. Then again, I’m only 6′1, but they work well.
By the way Mathews, I prefer the 301, but that’s just me. I think the double layer looks stupid.
McFrat,I feel you, I wear an an 8-9 inch inseam (I’m 6′4 though).
FTRUGA, I got plenty of shit in high school for wearing reds, madras, coral polos, seersucker pants, but just remember that you are and will always be better than any abercrombie wearing greasy guido GDI.
Same here on the 301s. The 302s look like they’re for chicks.
This is kind of offtopic but so be it, I’ve noticed here at Alabama that topsiders are being replaced by “driving mocs” as the casual everyday shoe. GDIs have begun to start wearing topsiders here at UA. So Lacoste and Topsiders are on the downslide while VV and driving mocs are on the rise. Do your part to be on the leading edge of frattiness at your campus and make the transition now.
I do not like all these people referring to their fraternity as a frat. You don’t call your country a cunt do you? The word frat is very accecptable only when you are not referring the your actual fraternity. It disgraces the thing this whole site is about. So have some respect for your fraternity and stop calling it a frat.
Let’s talk about the use of the word “Frat”.
Referring to the Greek organization of which you are a member as “a frat” or “the frat”: unacceptable.
“Frat” and “Fratty” should be used ONLY as adjectives. i.e. “Frat Castle”, “Fratty shoes”, etc.
thank you
I would like your opinions on a celebrity that some have qualms about in classifying as a fratty or GDI: Tucker Max
Tucker Max (www.tuckermax.com) is a writer of insanely funny stories of getting drunk and shacking. While these are fratty activities some are adimant in labeling Tucker Max as a GDI.
Tucker has fratty and unfratty qualities. He was not in a fraternity in college, but let’s face it, he went to two of the most unfratty colleges known to man. For undergrad he went to the University of Chicago. The University of Chicago is quite possibly the most GDI school in existence next to the Mecca of Douche - Berkley. For grad school he went to Duke. The only fratty thing about Duke is their lacrosse parties. Still, one must admire his spirit when put into these unfratty situations.
I now ask for your opinions on this controversial figure.
deffinately 301s mathews, im not gonna lie, i thought 302s were for girls. and im about 6′3″ so i ussualy go for a 8″ in seam.
oh, and i sport a legendary frat swoop.
I would just like to remind everyone that ‘lol,’ ‘lmao,’ and other internet acronyms are not fratty.
An otherwise fratastic story can easily be tainted by a stray LOL or ROFL
I’m going to get between this fight real quick and respond to a question seersucker asked but no one answered.
Reefs with bottle openers are NOT fratty. In fact bottle openers in general are not fratty because if you are drinking beer with a bottle cap that doesn’t twist off, you’re obviously either not trying to get drunktaneous or you’re going about it the wrong way. Put your Saporo imports away and sip on some Woodford Reserve or fine wine instead.
PGT Beauregard I’m going to have to humbly disagree. Imported Beer without twist offs such as a nice New Castle or a Corona extra when on spring break can be fratty. Especially for the post-grad, more expensive beers are not inherantly unfratty.
o so your friends with the guys that like themselves more than vagina (sigms chi) and the biggest group of dickheads that can see daylight because their head is so far up their ass? yea brag alot about that.
We have had the best GPA on campus 4 out of 5 semesters, the fastest growing fraternity on campus, have had the best row week party 3 years in a row now, have won more intramural sports than any other fraternity, only fraternity on campus to win the award of excellence, and we are nominated for the grand high alpha award (which goes the best chapter in the nation). yea i guess are a pretty shitty fraternity
o so your friends with the guys that like themselves more than vagina (sigms chi) and the biggest group of dickheads that can’t see the light of day because their head is so far up their ass (kappa sigs)? yea brag alot about that.

Tucker Max is most decidely frat. Reasons:
1.) He shacks with an ungodly amount of sorostitutes no matter where he goes
2.) He consumes massive amounts of alcohol no matter where he goes - often spilling it on himself (TFM)
3.) Although his attire isn’t terribly fratty, he doesn’t gel his hair - I think that gets him some points
4.) He’s got a law degree
5.) In his own words, his dad is rich SOB who funded some of his schooling, but Tucker always picked up his own frattab
6.) He parties with different fraternities when he visits college campuses
7.) He’s a self-made man with a little help from dad; TFM
8.) And most importantly, he calls out fucksticks left and right no matter where he goes, regardless of the consequences
—–
I mean, unless i have left something out, he’s pretty fratastic. Any discussion?
newcastle is amazing
Ok I will concede that spring break, post-grad fratting, and a few other situations are exceptions where getting drunk off imports is acceptable. they are the exception and not the rule however.
Also I have nothing against LXA or fratastic but winning intramural sports and getting plaques from nationals doesn’t make you a good fraternity. you may be, but its not because of that
Agreed armyfrat, Tucker Max has said before in his stories that had he gone to a bigger southern school (ie UVA or UT) he would have definitley pledged. But being that he went to UILL at Chicago and The University of New Jersey at Durham (aka Duke), he decided no to.
Blue’s post is spot-on. A question in general, tho:
if someone is fratastic and decides to NOT pledge a fraternity if he goes to a notorious GDI school, even if it does have fraternities on campus, does that make him even more fratty…or should he make the attempt to inject some frattitude into the system, like a sense of obligation?
not lookin to attack anyone, just seein what people think
J.Crew, fratty, fratty on occasion (none of their “distressed” shit, but Polo sells the same “distressed” shit anyways), or completley GDI?
New rule…if you are in high school i encourage you to continue to study the site but have some respect and wait till you atleast get a bid before you start making comments.
Lets talk about crocs. I find them to look like shoes a mexican would wash dishes in at a seedy restaurant. Am i wrong in not liking them. I know they are fairly new to the fratty wardrobe but seriously, look at them, they are made from rubber. I think a frat daddy can have a good wardrobe without them.
i use crocs only when trout fishing. i swallow my pride because they work pretty good in that environment
I would say if youre using crocs for a practical purpose like trout fishing or say, showering in a dorm, then theyre fine.
i dont personally own a pair though
In my opinion Crocs are about as frat as a pair of Corona board shorts and a wicker hat.
I would never wear crocs, not even if frattinghard declared them to be the frattiest item invented since the collard shirt.
Fratastic and x:
Arguing on a fucking internet forum = perhaps the most un-fratty, GDI, gel-headed douche bag move of all times. I congratulate you.
In other news, I agree with fratwater blues rule about HS “fratdaddies” posting comments. Take questions fellas, ask questions, but please do not tell us about how much of a fratdaddy you are until you actually graduate. I have full faith that our esteemed professors of fratology will adequately prepare for the future of hardcore fratting that lies ahead of you.
Crocs while trout fishing = TFM. Then again, just about anything is fratty when being worn for trout fishing.
On a final note, I have nothing against KA or LXA. I have met my fair share of boy kissers from both fraternities. Then again, I have had some really good times with both of them. It depends on the school.
armyfrat, in reference to your previous question about not pledging at mostly GDI schools, I feel that if there is hope for fratmosis to occur and goodtimes to be had, then by all means pledge and attempt to inject some frattiness. But if there seems to be no hope in sight…save your time, money, and visit fratty schools on the weekends.
Crocs should not be worn as any part of a true fratdaddy’s daily attire. However, they are acceptable when doing tasks that would ruin a pair of Top-siders.
Crocs are pretty shitty to wear in public.
Just out of curiousity, how many out there are KAs like myself?
Blue, I wholeheartedly agree with your statement
Ok guys….some good conversation here, but we’re getting off-topic.
I know a bunch of you have some tales of glory about nights that you fratted so hard you could feel soreness in your fratgland the next morning. Let’s hear about them.
Good lord, if you saw your CEO neighbor inspecting the job the neighborhood mower did on his yard in crocs would you lose all respect for him? I’d hope so, for fuck’s sake, crocs are the least fratty thing on the planet. Even you’re run of the mill GDI knows they look fucking ridiculous.
I’m seeing a large disconnect here. Apparently no one understands the difference between northern and southern fraternities. In the vast and I do mean vast majority of the cases, northern fraternities are filled with individuals that rank among the worst of GDI’s in southern schools. Southern schools demonstrate in their Tier 1 fraternities what it truly is to be a fratstar. I’m talking about fraternities where the average member comes from old money, a good southern family, and has business connections to insure that even with a less than stellar 2.8 GPA you’ll be making 200k 4 years out of college.
For those in the north, I’m sorry, but their is nothing fratty about any fraternities you know.
KA from Southern Miss.
To briefly address the Crocs comments, they are never fratty and never acceptable to wear under any circumstances. Crocs are cheap, available in liberal colors, made of rubber, and contain many unnecessary holes for “breathability.” Therefore, Crocs are completely GDI and no fratdaddy or sorostitute should ever support such GDIsm. If you need old shoes for fishing or working, wear a barfunk covered pair of Sperrys, Cole Hahn Driving Mocs, or Newbies. - Professor Stratton
Crocs are GDI period. As is wearing any type of clothing with a beer company. The only exception to the beer rule is if its a greek shirt and it has a beer company logo on it.
As a southerner doing Grad School North of the Mason Dixon I agree wholeheartedly with Matthews. The Dougchbag to Fratty ratio up here, is staggering.
I disagree with the beer attire rule. I feel that if you’re wearing budweiser or corona trunks or visors, that is definitely douche-esque. However, I sport my Sam Adams hat every once and a while or while I’m fishing. My justification? As founders of one of the first fraternal orders in America and being master brewers, I find that John and Sam Adams are damn fine patriots, and fratastic in their own right. And they make a damn good beer (whoever said that drinking anything that isn’t a twist off is unfratty is just plain wrong)
Responding to Deke, It is still possible to get fratty clothing at J-Crew, mostly shorts, pants and jackets, but they are quickly losing all frat credibility. They seem to be moving away from the Brooks Brothers competitor of past years and quickly descending into the gel-head category.
I am a fan of the 5 inch in-seem stand-ups and the 6 inch in-seem Polo Andrew Short. There are some that cannot pull off the shorter shorts but anything touching your knee is getting questionable.
Crocs should not be worn unless your trout fishing, in which case it is completely acceptable.
Great Fratty Beer with twist off - Shiner Bach
GDIntollerant should be banned from this website. Seriously you were a wasted bid.
And I’ll end with a question. What is the official ruling on brightly colored pants. I am a fan of the occasional Carolina Blue or pastel green pants, but how far is too far?
Michael,
Pastel-colored pants are acceptable to wear, especially during the spring, as long as you do it in moderation. The colors offered by the fratty brands previously mentioned in our lectures generally will not violate any rules of fratting hard. Avoid any colors that are exceptionally bright and are typically not seen covering the lower extremities of fellow fratdaddies. Red, blue, and green are your safest choices. - Professor Stratton
Agreed, J. Crew is quickly going down the shit hole, mainly because their clothing lines are more and more beginning to be made from cheaper materials, and instead of trying to be on par with Brooks Brothers they have started to be a pseudo GAP/Eddie Bauer style and can be seen being worn by any random GDI fuck that lives their lives at the local “independent” coffee shop.
And, KA is definitely a good fraternity in most places; it even happens to be the ONLY true southern fraternity at Tulane, where on of my friends goes. However, here at UT, KA is the biggest fag/GDI bunch of douchebags I’ve ever seen. Furthermore, they accept yankees, douchebags, minorities, etc; most of which admittedly join the newly colonized chapter here, and plan on transferring schools where the chapter is better, so they won’t have to go through a true pledging process because they’re afraid of getting hazed.
And, agreed on the GDI-ness of crocs and alcohol-branded clothes; my grandparents wear crocs when watering their gardens, and Corona flip flops are sold at Wal-mart.
I’ve never had a Bach, but I know quite well what a Bock is.
KA here, also happen to be part of a very solid chapter.
UT Fratty, you may find this funny…
My chapter had provine council with the UT chapter of KA. That’s basically the big thing where all the chapters in our province come together for one big meeting and some awards. (We won numerous, btw). Anyway, I heard one of the UT KA’s talking shit about my campus (It’s a small school) and promptly called him a pledge and told him he didn’t know shit. I found it hilarious seeing as how their colony hadn’t been initiated yet. Needless to say he didn’t laugh so much.
If you’re trout fishing then you better be fly fishing. If you’re fly fishing, you better be in waders. If you aren’t 1. you arent fishing right 2. you look like a retard. Only acceptable bait and tackle trout fishing is Lake Trout, and you still aren’t going to be wearing crocs then.
On wearing beer clothing:
A hat if about the only thing that should be considered (flip flops and swim trunks? No. Never.) Then it DOES matter what brand of beer you’re going with.
Budweiser, Coors, etc. should be left to your local auto mechanic. If you have a favorite regional beer (Abita), or something a big higher class, then you can wear your hat on occasion.
Don’t be the kind of guy that wears a beer hat out every night to the bar, though. All things in moderation, except shacking. Do that every night.
frattiest driving mocs?
Fratterson,
Cole Haan gets my vote.
1. crocs are not fratty at all. end of discussion.
2. back ontopic:
one night we were getting incredibly fratty. the fratmosphere in the basement (dance floor) and everywhere in our frat castle was at incredible levels. after consuming copious ammounts of liqour and frat water, a sorostitute suggested we did something “incredibly fratty!” her words, not mine. we ended up shacking up on the front stairs of my frat castle at approx. 4 am.

Hey guys…I’d like to respond to some goings-on here lately…
First of all, you have probably noticed Professor Stratton responding to more questions and comments. Take heed of his wise words…I’ve personally seen him make heads explode from over a mile away.
Second, several folks (both here and via email) have asked about us adding a forum. We’ve decided not to do that for several reasons. You guys have been absolutely great in keeping discussion up on this site and spreading the frat gospel (we’ve gone from about 200 visitors a day at the start of April to over 1000 visitors a day now), that we feel that it is the best policy to keep you all abreast of the decisions we make about what is/what’s not going on the site. After all, many of our best articles have come at the suggestion of our readers.
We want this site to be a positive source of fratty education. Unfortunately, some other Greek lifestyle sites had forums, and they sort of depreciated into places that were not positive. We don’t post articles about “X Fraternity Isn’t Fratty”, because it’s not our goal to harp on you if your fraternity isn’t fratting hard enough. Our goal is to IDENTIFY your latent douchebaggery and FIX THE PROBLEM. Our mission is to get any fratdaddy that reads this site to frat harder as a result of what he reads here, period.
If we had time to give a forum the time that it needs, we’d do it, but we don’t have that time right now. We are very happy with the outstanding discussions we get in our comments to posts, however. Since they’re in response to a specific topic, they tend to get a lot of comments directly on that topic, and then people ask collateral questions, the next thing we know we’re having a worthwhile discussion of something only tangentially related to the original topic. It’s been working out great, and right now we don’t want to mess with success.
I’m not saying that, at some point down the road, a forum might not be added. However, while we don’t have time to give it the attention it deserves, we’re not going to put one up and let some idiots come over, take it over, and ruin it for people trying to actually engage in a level of fratstudy that is higher than you can get anywhere else.
However, we are ALWAYS open to suggestions. I do not lie when I tell you that EVERY comment on this site is read by one of us, and MOST are read by both. We respond to every emailed question we receive (and if we haven’t responded to one you’ve sent, send it to us again). If you have any suggestions for the site, we want to hear them.
Thanks, and it’s Thursday night….so all of you should be preparing to crank up your weekend fratitude.
Prof. Neidermeyer.
Nothing is frattier than kicking some meathead GDI’s faggot ass then shacking with his girlfriend, and sending her some with one of your fraternity shirts…
Mason,
Sorostitutes LOVE the word “fratty”.
We used the term around our chosen sorostitutes before this site was even in existence, and the next thing we knew they had spread it all over their sororities. We were hearing it out of their sorostisisters in bars within a week.
This is another example of fratmosis.
As if it wasn’t already settled, I think that UT Fratty ended the “beer gear” discussion re: average beers:
“….Corona flip flops are sold at Wal-mart.”
Next.
Do anyone here utilize EBay for some of their clothing purchases? I have bought a couple of shirts off of there but I always fear that they’re fake. Just curious what people’s opinions were on that.
Hmm, UTMKA I have gotten a fake Lacsote shirt off of eBay has a birthday gift so I tend to stay away from them. As to the comments as far as being a high schooler and not posting, I completely agree and questioned if I should have even posted on here but I thought the story was quite funny and wanted to share it. I do agree that I shouldn’t be celebrating as if I were the Fratty King. however, I admire the fact that this site was made and I use it a lot for seeing what is cool and what isn’t. I am looking forward to rushing and hopefully pledging, but I NEVER bank on the fact that I will automatically get in.
The only clothing purchases I make on EBay are of fratty shirts from other chapters. And only then if it’s a chapter that I havent done a little shirt-swapping with before then. That’s about the only clothing I’m willing to buy “second-hand.”
If there’s one thing I hate more than corona flip flops and flowered boardshorts, its fake brand names. first of all, it defeats the purpose of wearing quality clothes and also it is an indisputable indictator of douchebaggery.
i couldn’t stand wearing secondhand clothes either but to each’s own..
I don’t know if I can agree with any of ya’ll on the Crocs… They are great for the outdoors.
As for the Beer logos, cheap flip flops, and straw hats… Total GDI move.
Doug Neidermeyer,
The forum thing would be a great amenity to this site, but I understand where you are coming from. And have you disclosed where you attend school yet?
-tEXas
Doug Neidermeyer,
You hit the nail on the head, Abita gear with Abita logos, is fratty.
-tEXas (not originally from here, Louisiana if you haven’t guessed)
I just got into medical school. Is this fratty?
tEXas,
No, we haven’t disclosed our location for several reasons…..we like the bit of privacy we’ve got by not disclosing, and at the same time, we can call out problems that we see in our own area with no worries. We think it lets us relax while not holding any punches when we see something we want to talk about.
On Abita….I dare one of you to find me a better glass of beer than an Abita Amber straight off the tap one hot, humid night in New Orleans. It’s damn near perfection.
(I like the occasional 6′er of Turbodog, as well)
We all know that living in your khakis is fratty but what khakis are the most fratty? I would have to say I live in Country Club Pleat Front Chino Pant which are a little darker but others have argued that lighter khakis are more fratty.
georgiafrat,
Medical school, like a lot of professional schools (law school, MBA, etc.) will allow you to seriously raise your post-grad fratting potential. Very fratty.
Just remember…you have to study hard, but frat hard whenever you can, as well. I’m sure you will learn, if you don’t use your muscles, they will atrophy. Similarly, if you don’t use your frat gland, it will start producing less and less fratosterone. Exercise it whenever you can.
Congratulations on your achievement.
(Also, as a corollary, an class on fratty careers is coming very soon. Keep a watch on Post Grad Fratting 501)
Bill’s Khakis. Enough said.
Also a fan of the Polo plain-front. You can find a decent alternative in VV, as well
Seeing as only two (?) high school people have posted on here, starting a new “rule” makes it seem as if some here are threatened by the potential frattiness that the class of 2011 is offering. I understand that I am in absolutely no position to question the frattiness of anyone here, e
