hah... my buddy has a huge tub of Whey Protien under his desk
I don't see how that screams frat guy. For some reason, the world of frat guys finds being fit "not fratty" and finds being fat (but not obese) "fratty." Weird, I know.
I can speak on this phenomenon with confidence though because I currently am a member of a very prominent southern fraternity. However, I will also state that I do not agree with this view at all, and find it quite stupid. You would be surprised by some of the things that one considers fratty and not fratty in the Greek system. Several of the common opinions/views are quite ridiculous.
I believe one who is all over the fratty/not fratty debate (despite how stupid some of the views are) would say that for your buddy to be fratty, he would need a couple of six packs under his desk and some dip.
Sucker for sears - thanks for the thoughts on the never-ending fratty vs. not fratty debate and for throwing out that you're in a very prominent southern fraternity. You ruined an otherwise light-hearted comical thread with your nonsense. I find all those things equally as ridiculous. Sometimes I just can't sleep at night when I think about what people conisder fratty. It goes against everything I was taught and everything I believe in as a southern frat-star. But hey, you can't win 'em all.
nystateofmind, maybe you took my comments wrong, I wasn't trying to ruin a light-hearted thread, I was just trying to add to it and show the ridiculous views of people that truly get caught up in the "fratty, not-fratty debate." I simply stated that I was in a top southern fraternity, in case someone doubted the fact that people truly think being fat is fratty (and to shed light on how serious people take the fratty, not fratty debate).
I admit I use to throw in my two cents on what is or isn't fratty talk once in a while, but after living in our house long enough and realizing how some people absolutely make every decision in their life based upon how others will see it (fratty or not fratty), I've changed my outlook on all of that because of how unbelievable their insecurities can be and how stupid the whole debate is.
Therefore, I was just trying to show how unbelievable some people's views truly are on the fratty, not fratty issues, which I thought most would find humorous (for example, that some people actually think being fat is desirable and makes you cooler, along with dipping all the time . . . oh, I could go on for days).
Lets see, something I could actually see someone in my fraternity doing to show the world that he was an all out frat guy in college, would be to spend part of their bonus on a new Tahoe (while living in NYC I mind you) because Tahoes are Frat. haha
What the hell is 'frat'?
I wasn't confusing the two.
oooohhhhhh!!!
********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********
A coworker propositioned multiple females at summer outing, including a partner. I got drunk and passed out for everyone to see.
i heard there was an intern at Bear last year who would show up to work in top siders and seersucker suits to work most days. Noone ever said anything and it was cool, apparently.
sucker for seers: were you in a gay frat?
I've seen coworkers pop their collars, only have 80s music, top 20 pop and the equivolent to mindless z100 radio played crap (z100 is the nyc area pop station for those that don't know) on their ipods and drink more than a small nation in alcohol, and say they were greek (another word for being in a frat), but then again, that's what I saw from Greek life when I was in school. All of the popular frats had their brothers do that. I've also seen coworkers do nothing of the sort, except become very vehement about greek life when its dicussed because they were.
Honestly, greek or not greek, everyone does the same shit whereever. It doesn't matter how much of a msucle bound jock or a preppy collar popped prissy you are, everyone does shit that's considered "frattastic". The other thing to consider is where you come from academically. I'm sure the Harvard grad views greek life different than someone from Cornell. The same holds true with greek students in any major BCS conference, viewing what they do differently from every other school. So what's greek for me is going to be different than what's greek for someone like Sucker.
The seersucker suit... now that's just Miami Vice-worthy.
Sucker, Sig Nu?
"I can speak on this phenomena with confidence though because I currently am a member of a very prominent southern fraternity."
"Phenomena" is plural. You may be a member of a prominent fraternity, but you clearly have received a less-than prominent education.
Corrected. Didn't realize I typed that.
Well there is a very fratty lifestyle available... have a place somewhere between 36th and 40th street, 3rd and Park, so you can walk to both JP Morgan and J-Tree. In your weekly grocery delivery, include nothing but alcohol, stuff that can be stuck in a Foreman/microwave, and ice cream. Have your coffee table be both your dining table and a beer pong table at a moment's notice. At any given time in your 1BR/conv 2 apt, either you or your roommate will be wearing a mesh lacrosse practice jersey, twirling a lacrosse stick and bouncing a lacrosse ball off the fake wall, etc. etc.
And sucker_for_seer, I'm sure you take a great deal of pride in the Southern greek culture but let's be real; the original fratty is all Northeast baby :).
Fratty = Martha's vineyard, boarding school and skull and bones, not fratty = oil money, SMU.
Great post. Also, I completely agree, the original fratty culture started in the NE (which further adds to the humor of so many Southern "fratstars" hating anyone from the NE).
hilarious stuff ideating....
Haha -- "walking distance to both JPM and J-tree".
Additional frattiness in Manhattan:
-ordering delivery ONLY from seamlessweb -saying "hola" to the mexican delivery guy -Blue Moon whenever possible -wearing a polo with a blazer when going out -boat shoes (+2 points) -ordering a car service on your own dime (usually when "rolling hard")
I need to get out of Midtown...
