A Dissection Of The Frat Uniform

Boys are weird.

A Dissection Of The Frat Uniform

Guys may make fun of the ladies for their big t-shirt addictions and overwhelming legging collections, but the females aren’t the only ones who sport some pretty predictable fashion mistakes. Guys have a “uniform” too, and I think it’s about time we had a real discussion about it. 


A Comfort Colors Shirt.
Not just any comfort colors shirt. A sorority date party/formal shirt. Having a different sorority shirt to wear for every day of the week implies that you are quite the social butterfly. How on earth are you going to communicate to your fellow brothers that you’re a total stud who 'pulls girls' if you don’t wear a shirt documenting your success? Wearing a shirt from your own date party is basically social suicide because it tells people that you either had to go alone and don't have enough from sorority functions to wear.

Crew Socks.
Crew Socks are never a bad idea. They’re totally practical and protect your ankles from the harsh sunlight. The only crew sock stipulation is that they have to be a brand. Wearing crew socks from Walmart is essentially like screaming, “My parents are poor and we have to buy generic crew socks to save money in order to pay my dues!” Nike is the most preferable brand, but Adidas and Under Armour will work if it’s laundry day.

Rule of thumb for crew socks: the higher the sock, the closer to Jesus. 

Short Shorts.
Guys think ladies are the only ones that wear shorts of a questionable length. Chubbies are an increasingly popular brand among young fraternity men, making fraternity men everywhere wear shorter shorts than sorority women. A true frat star asserts his dominance by showing off as much leg hair as he can at once, and if you’re not constantly flexing your magnificent, milky white thighs, you might as well drop out of school and give up. 

Frat Cruisers.
Nothing says “My parents have money but I’m still going to buy the ugliest shoes on the market” quite like those grey New Balances. Sure, you may have thought they had gone out of style in 2007, but fashion has a funny way of coming back around when it’s least appropriate. Rock those middle schooler gym shoes. You deserve some nostalgia in your life.  

The Trash-Stache.
I don’t think many people quite understand the appeal of this particular facial hair trend, but it's still gaining ground anyway. Obviously, looking like that creepy neighbor that hung around your school playground a little too much to be considered normal is considered attractive these days.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
