April 2010 Sorostitute of the Month

Confratulations to Corinne Cogill of Highland Park in Dallas/Oklahoma, the April 2010 Sorostitute of the Month. Here, Corinne is fratting hard with her pro-sorostitute attire. Corinne enjoys throwing back fratwaters, listening to fratty music, wearing her Ray Bans with croakies, and only speaking to fratdaddies wearing solid-colored polos. Congrats again to Corinne, who will receive an award of a free “winyah” polo, courtesy of Coast Apparel.

Salute to the Kentucky Derby

With the running of the Kentucky Derby occurring this Saturday, we felt like paying homage (again) to one of the frattiest events of all time. There are a variety of reasons as to why the Kentucky Derby frats harder than a house full of consequence disregarding fratdaddies on spring break, but we will list the main reasons in this lecture.

1.) No Douchebaggery:
You know an event will be a fratty one when GDI’s are precluded from entrance at the front gate. The dress code that is required among Derby attendees is not one that a douchebag can handle, both financially and from a comprehension of dress standpoint. Therefore, you need not worry about bumping into Ed Hardy or his buddies Abercrombie & Fitch at the Derby. Additionally, you may be seated on “Millionaires Row” to watch the race. Granted, there may be some Hollywood douches who purchased their way into those seats, but anything with the word “millionaire” in it normally prices out douchebaggery.

2.) “X” Drink Minimum:
Your professors have not once witnessed a GDI drink a Mint Julep. Most would not know how to enunciate the second word. There is nothing like throwing back a drink that is exclusive to the frat community. And if you attend, you will be throwing back a plethora that will make your breath minty fresh for some post race shacking opportunities. When drinking and having a good time ensues, then you know that a fratmosphere is forming. This is exactly what occurs at the Derby, which is yet another reason it is such a fratty event.

3.) Bet There Will Be Gambling:
Fratty clothes, drunktaneous fratdaddies and sorostitutes, and gambling? This sounds like some serious pregaming before a football game on a cool autumn afternoon. Yes, nothing increases the fratmosphere like the ability to bet . . . on anything. Gambling on horses is certainly no exception. When you can accidentally frattab away a few grand because you were hammered on mint juleps at a horse race, then you had a fratty afternoon.

We hope that you all have the chance to frat hard at the Derby this weekend. Have a Mint Julep on us.

*** Frat Madness, Fratty Four: Presented by Coast ***

After many epic battles of frat that have exploded the heads of many GDI’s, we have finally reached the Fratty Four. We believe that it is safe to say that all brackets have been busted by this point but nevertheless, these fine, fratty institutions have shown they have what it takes to be considered the 2010 Frat Madness Champion. Here is your Fratty Four, presented by Coast:

* Polls close in 48 hours on Thursday at 6:00 P.M. Eastern *

** The championship game will be held early next week **

*** Frat Madness, Elite Eight: Gentleman Jack Region ***

Kentucky escaped the eyes of Texas to remain the last 1-Seed standing and join Washington & Lee in the Fratty Four. We now move on to an all-Texas matchup that perhaps nobody expected, Texas Christian vs. Southern Methodist.

*** Frat Madness, Elite Eight: Maker’s Mark Region ***

We finally finished an epic overtime thriller in the Sweet Sixteen and the first game of the Elite Eight. Surprisingly, two more 1-Seeds, Georgia and the overall 1-Seed Alabama, suffered tough defeats by two Virginia schools. Now three 1-Seeds, all SEC frat powerhouses, (Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss) have been eliminated from the competition. As we turn our attention to the next Elite Eight game, will the eyes of Texas be upon the last standing 1-Seed, Kentucky, or will the Commonwealth of Bluegrass mess with Texas?

*** Frat Madness, Elite Eight: Conecuh Ridge Region ***

Even with Georgia and Virginia still fighting it out in the Sweet Sixteen, we decided to move ahead and start the first game of the Elite Eight. In our first matchup, two powerhouses of frat, Alabama and Washington & Lee, will stack their traditions up against each other to determine who punches the first ticket to the Fratty Four.

*** Frat Madness, Sweet Sixteen: Overtime ***

When our technology and accounting staff ended the matchup between Georgia and Virginia, we were astonished to hear that the schools were not separated by a single vote. Therefore, your professors have decided to let the two do battle in an overtime voting session. Polls will close promptly at 1:00 Eastern tomorrow, so let the overtime voting begin.

*** Frat Madness, Sweet Sixteen: Knob Creek Region ***

And down goes our first #1 of the tournament, as Southern Methodist University stuns Ole Miss to set up an all Texas showdown for a place in the Fratty Four.

And now we move on to the Knob Creek Region, and I’m really looking forward to these matchups.  We’ve got Georgia, founded 1785, and Virginia, founded by Mr. Jefferson.  If that’s not enough, we’ve got the rivalry of the Palmetto state as Clemson and South Carolina go head to head.
