Frat Boys = Lowest comon denominator of society

3 of my friends are in frats at different schools. frats can be cool, but generally they are lame.

I got kicked out of this frat party i walked a mile in the freezing cold to get to, within 5 minutes of arriving, for no reason. they said I had pissed inside the house, which was total bullshit, I wouldn't do that.

I walked home bitterly and went to sleep. i woke up with 5 new voicemails. it was one of the kids in the frat, who I knew. he accused me of slashing the tires of several of the members' cars, and said that he had 5 friends with him and were waiting outside of my dorm to beat the shit out of me.

I only wished I had been awake so I could have taunted them through the glass doors of the dorm. instead I woke up, listened to the messages, and marched over to the kids dorm. i busted into his room and told him I had no clue what he was talking about, but he had better never threaten to kill me (which he had done several times) again. he apologized and said it was all a misunderstanding.

case closed? not quite.

the next day this toolbag comes up to me in the dining hall. I was eating by myself between classes. he asked me if I was at the FIJI party the other night. i said I was. he then asked me if I slashed the tires on five cars. I said "for the last time, no." he told me he didn't want to "hear another word out of my cocksucker mouth" and proceeded to berate me.

he claimed he had 8 witnesses who saw me do it, and he was filing legal action. I told him that if he had 8 people willing to commit perjury, then so be it. i knew for a fact it was one girl who thought she saw me do it.

the funny thing was I was wearing a hoodie covered in 100 bills, and a pair of ipath shearlings. no one could have mistaken me for someone else. I finally said "for the last time, I didn't do it, but maybe if you guys weren't such enormous pricks stuff like this wouldn't happen."

SUMMARY

a lot of frat boys are big fucking pussies that get off on ganging up on one person. I could have gotten seriously hurt by a bunch of kids over a complete misunderstanding. this, and several other similar incidents, are why I am contemplating buying a handgun.

 
wow, im so glad im not in a frat. my roomate is super into his frat, and he is doing hell week right now, where he cant leave ffor a week except for class...sounds tiiiite, hahah
 
i'm definatley not joining a frat when i go to college. i'm not basing my decision solely off this video, it just seems lame
 
Hell week is where its at... As much as i like to hate on frat boys, everyone I've known who has been in one loved it. At the same time, everyone I know who isn't in one hates them. A lot of the shit they do sounds like fun, but their are always going to be those stereotypical jock-asses infesting them too.
 
Yeah the frats at my school are pretty bad but i go to a liberal arts college so they're no where close to as crazy as in that video.
 
Beware the Meathead

Current mood: varsity

Why are Meatheads the way they are? This occurence can be explained very easily:

Some people, when raised, have insecurities and fear that they cannot be accepted for who they truly are. The only way for them to cope with these insecurities is to either lash out in strange ways, or learn to accept themselves like a sane person and live with it.

One very common form of coping with such insecurities is called Meathead Syndrome. It is when men feel they have to act tough or macho in order to be accepted by other males. They commonly act as hypochondriacs, but with homosexuality rather than an actual health issue. Other common names include jocks, rubes, down-syndrome, varsity, and hockey players.

They constantly have to exert their homophobia upon the world. Many anthropologists believe that living in constant fear of somebody suspecting you are homosexual is a sign that you are subconciously homosexual. Their mechanism against this homophobia is to act so predominantly male that people will naturally assume they are "real men". This occurence is often the reason behind degradation of woman, for some men have been living in this state for so long that it is imbedded into their personality, and feel that being sensitive or sharing emotion is a sign that they are a homosexual.

When this pointless faux-pas is juxtapositioned with normal, healthy human behavior and presented to a Meathead, they will usually make some unrelated remark to deny that the behavior even exists in the first place.

Example:

"So you think that having emotions and being a human being makes you less of a man?"

"What kind of man cries? Shut up, faggot. I'm going to the gym to pick up bitches."

Another similar form of Meathead Syndrome is Short-Man's Complex. This is when a man is shorter than the average man and feels their lack in size makes them less of a man. In a sad attempt to counterbalence this insecurity, they will act just like a Meathead.

In short, as long as insecurites exist, the natural tendency to lash back in this odd form will exist along with it. All we can do is provoke and laugh at them from afar.

 
i live on the east, and in all truthfullness, my school doesn't have one person like that. now we only have 200 people but still. and i've been out west, and seen a lot of people like that. so you are generalizing, because not everyone is like that. case closed.
 
Well, we don't get too many of those up here in Vermont. Except for possibly those who come from New Jersey to go to UVM.
 
haha did you live in New Jersey? I'm in upstate New York and don't think I've ever seen one around here, or in mass. or NH, or Maine...or Rhode Island
 
ahhh this is sweet. i'm not a psychiatrist, or anthropologist but I wouldnt doubt the legitimacy of this. i just seems to make sense.

"Other common names include jocks, rubes, down-syndrome, varsity, and hockey players." - down-syndrome...priceless.

 
well i just watched that whole thing.... ANNNDDDDDDD......

the director- the tall squirly jewish lookin guy who actually pledges for 5 weeks is todd phillips. you may better know him as "that guy who is here for the threesome" in old school. funny shit!
 
i hate frats, some are cool, but the majority of them are fucking gay, and it really hurt me to see about half of my friends join them, i really dont see the advantages to joining one, everyone says its so they have a place to party and meet people, so i guess if you are socially insecure and can't meet people on your own then a frat is for you.

Im a freshman in college, and i've been to some insane parties, met hundreds of cool kids, and i have never stepped foot in a single frat house
 
I got to michigan state, we have like 46000 students here. Needless to say our Greek system is HUGE. I swear almost every frat boy I have met is a stuck up douchebag, it's sooo annoying. My suitemate was pledging to be in a frat last year and he was the BIGGEST dbag I have ever met. I want to slit his throat every time i see him.

On the other hand, one of my best friends is in a frat in a very small school in the upper peninsula, and everyone I have met there is really chill and his frat seems pretty cool.

It all depends on the location I guess.
 
i was hoping they would go more into the frat parties and stuff....i watched the whole thing...
 
I think that might be a more southern thing, up in maine and NH and vermont, we don't have to many "frat" guys. everyone's a hick and drives a snowmobile. also, I kind of take offense to these generalizations, as I played varsity sports and hockey, and I am absolutely NOTHING like these guys. it's more of an individual basis, so don't just assume all jocks/athletes/hockey players are this way.
 
Thats pretty extreme. That reminded me a lot of the army...

In fact if they were wearing uniforms there would be no difference.
 
go fuck yourself you uneducated idiot. what a ridiculous stereotype with absolutely no factual information to back it up.
 
certainly not, simply frustration. how can one person make such a broad generalization that essentially applies to millions of people who live on the east coast? it's completely absurd.
 
Probably because every person he encountered from the east coast was an overly aggressive douchebag. Stereotypes don't come out of nowhere.
 
I'm not from boston. and even if i was i still probably wouldn't be an asshole. I have friends out here at CU from boston and they're well mannered and friendly and anything but the descriptions provided by the thread starter.

and stereotypes don't just "come from nowhere" but then again that doesn't make them right just because you've had negative experiences with a few people
 
except the military is an actual legitimate brotherhood. I'm not a military dude by any means but there's something to be said about going through that shit to be in a brotherhood in which you put your lives in each others hands. I respect the hazing and whatnot for guys that need that amount of trust to risk their lives together, not for dudes who'll be doing bong rips on the couch playing madden.
 
thats pretty sad. but at the same time i want to be in a fraternity like that so i can just rip bongs and drink beers like a nig.
 
i go to school at uconn, 16000 kids, i can't remember seeing one kid that was a guido. my suitemate is the closest only because he's super italian, but even so, he's mad funny and is no where near guido status. a few of my friends are in frats, but they're really funny and aren't jocks or stuck up assholes at all. they can drink and do a lot, but don't claim mad shit. they go to schools all along the eastcoast (keene st. and northeastern). frats are pretty gay though, i don't wanna pay mad dough a semester to do community service and shit just to get free alcohol.
