Frat guys

[Clockwork]

Honestly I think it is easier just to go buy a case, kegs are a hassle but for some reason seem a staple of college parties. RA stands for resident assistant or some variation of that. They usually have one on each floor of a dorm building and they report to a resident director in charge of the building. They write you up for underage drinking and puking in the hallway and shit like that and I guess are supposed to keep order and make sure no one kills themselves, they are usually students as well. But those don't apply to frats since those are off campus houses, so they got no excuse when it comes to the solo cups.

I feel sorry for young Americans with your super conservative drinking values, probably much cleaner streets than us as a result though!

^^Not really - at UCSB, it's expected to throw your bottles/cans/cups into the gutters of the street because they have 'street cleaning crews' the morning after to pick them up. In reality it's the homeless collecting them for recycling money.

The red cup thing is mostly a possession issue; a minor with a bottle or can will get a Minor in Possession (MIP) ticket, but the red cup is more or less treated as a safe zone for beverages. It's also pretty much forbidden to walk around in public, even across the street, with a bottle or can, so the red cups come in handy then as well. Migrate from party to party with drink in-hand and not have to worry too much about getting a drunk in public, MIP, etc... ticket.

As far as the "college porn videos" being staged, I've definitely seen some raunchy shit go down at parties, including (but not at all limited to) people fucking in the middle of a dance floor.

But yeah, the hyper-conservative (read: delusional and patriarchal) drinking values in this country are ridiculous. The bad aura it's established around social drinking and nightlife type outings is one of the things I hate most about living in America, and it's not like any of it has changed our incredibly lenient views on drinking and driving.

Frats are gay.

Yeah but why a keg? Surely it's easier to just buy some crates?

Also, what's an RA?

Kegs are just cheaper in the end compared to buying a bunch of cases of beer. Easier to clean up after too instead of having bottles and cans laying everywhere. Plus....KEG STANDS!!!!

The funniest shit in the USA is that these brickheads go to college, while in most other parts of the world they would, promptly after completing high school, seek employment in garbage collection or skip removal, you know, something par for the course for their intellectual level.

I went to umass...I was surprised and disappointed that frats are just as bad as their stereotype makes then out to be. I mean, its just too easy to make fun of them (not that it stopped me)

I don't pledge to anyone or anything.

That's like praising Allah.

My buddy once got beat up by a group of frat kids that hit some chick. And my buddy stepped into to stop them and they ganged up on him. Later on however, he hunted each one of them down one by one and beat the FUCK outta them. He took clothes from one of the kids he beat up first and used that to disguise himself and get into one of their parties. Then he proceeded to lay the smack down on all of them.

It's way cooler when you hear him tell the story. It's fucking ace. Hitman status.

fuck yes

Hey now, not all fraternities fit the classic stereotype. The one I belonged to back in college was a very rewarding experience. There was none of the hazing, over the top partying, fucking chicks everyday kinda lifestyle that you see in the movies. I made a lot of friends, most of which I still talk to today. They instilled some pretty good values into us, and did prepare us for leadership positions. We also did a LOT of philanthropy for the local community. Initiation was a rewarding experience as well, wasn't what you'd think it is. Also I hear the 'why would you want to pay for friends' comment a lot- the dues you pay monthly are to keep the place running, most fraternities are official companies and the money goes towards insurance, events, house maintenance, etc.

I'm sure there are a few fraternities out there that are full of douche bag rich boy collar poppers, but they aren't all like that.

And BTW it's 'fraternity' not 'frat'. Would you call your 'country' a 'cunt'


Edit- FUCCCKKKKKKKKK I just saw this was a necro thread. WTF.

They'll just date rape

The world would be a better place if every asshole that knowingly did/does this died of AIDS.

Anyhow, back on topic. Go frat guyz?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

soak clumps of toilet paper, freeze them, then stand in their underwear in a line in a big room and have the brothers pelt the frozen wet toilet paper "rocks" at them :Smug: )

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I am a frat guy myself. While I do agree their is a shit load of douchbaggery that radiates from most of them, I also think it is important not to judge them. Many of them just wanted to join something so that they can be apart of something greater. Most people don't see the philanthropy and community service that these groups do. Most people just think they drink, do drugs, and haze. I am as metal as any motherfucker out there and I am proud of it! I know frat guys are the people from high school that picked on the goofy metal heads with long hair. Just understand not all are assholes and some are pretty cool.
Anyways, I just got back from a Kamelot show and felt like Rezzing this motherfucker
Stay metal

You definitely sound like a kid.

I was actually talking specifically about vomit on the streets of pretty much every town/city in this country on weekend mornings.
