I have tried to keep my relationships with the frat boys that we all love at a friendly distance. They’re so much fun, they’re hilarious, they’re loyal (if you haven’t crossed that friendship line), they’re always down for a good time, and let’s be honest…they’re not bad to look at either, right?

I myself have been involved with a frat star (basically a frat boy on steroids). It is because of that experience that I relate to every girl who has even caught the slightest of feelings for one of these boys. I say “boys” because most aren’t exactly close to being men yet.

1. Can you not…assume we all just want to sleep with you?

You are not Zac Efron from "Neighbors." Some of you probably may come close, but still. The sooner you realize this, the more girls you may have the chance to “pull.” What you really need to do is pull out.

2. Can you not….question the use of protection?

Whoa, here’s another ego bomb to burst your narcissistic bubble. We don't want to reproduce you at this point in time. Honestly, if your one-night stand or even your “Netflix and chill” buddy isn’t on that cute little smarty looking candy that she takes as if her life depends on it, do your part bruh. If you want to get around like George Clooney, at least, do our overpopulated world a favor and be smart about it.

3. Can you not…be such a gossip?

It is a known fact -- you gossip more than we strat girls do. You may even embellish or even make something up completely out of thin air because you think it will earn the respect of your “bros.” No. I was at a party, and a girl got a ride home with someone. Soon after, he told everyone they hooked up….why? Because that’s some pledge crap trying to get in with the older brothers. So you make her look like that kind of girl in the process? That’s not OK.

4. Can you not…always make yourself the center of attention?

This isn’t high school, and you aren’t the class clown. You being sexy and being your fratty self in your Southern Proper khakis and a button down polo is enough to grab our attention. You don’t have to try so hard.

5. Can you not…be such a d-bag?

Talk about us as though we’re Ali Lauter in “Obsessed,” why don’t you? You speak as though we're just obsessed with you, we “caught the feelings” and you just wanted to get it in. You just look like a D-bag my friend. I don’t care about how sexy you think your dad bod is or how quickly you can shotgun a beer; breaking hearts isn’t a good look on anyone.

6. Can you not…make us fall for you then wash your hands of us?

Please don't get us to develop feelings just because you can, and then tear the rug out from under us. Don't take us out to numerous expensive dinners, “Netflix and chill” with us, be there when it feels like no one else is, and meet our sisters that we are obsessed with talking about. Don't just randomly get bored and stop communication. To each his own, but I just feel like there should be a conversation before that.

7. Can you not…keep any of us in the “talking phase?”

Guys are commitment phobes. This is a well-known fact. We get it. But if you’re “just talking” to someone for more than six months, I would say that it wouldn’t kill you to just call the girl your girlfriend. I’m not saying take her home to mom. It’s a bigger deal to the girl than you. If you want to keep her around, just let it go.

8. Can you not…try to fight everyone (including your brothers) when we go out?

I’m not saying every fratty guy does this, but come on. Why do you feel so high and mighty when intoxicated that you want to hurt someone? Oh I’m sorry, did the guy look at the girl you’re “just talking to” in a sexual way? Or did someone buy the girl you won’t make your girlfriend a drink? Is it really worth it? I’ve seen guys go to jail over stupid bar fights like that. I’ll give two examples: the frat guy in Athens who broke a glass bottle and put it to a guy's throat, or how about the guy in Statesboro (you know exactly who I’m talking about)? It’s not a good look, and nothing good comes out of it.

9. Can you not…lump yourselves together?

Not every frat guy needs to be like the descriptions above. I have frat friends and a frat star boyfriend who has my heart. This list is the epitome of the ideal d-bag frat star. So don’t be going and getting all butt-hurt over this.

10. Can you not get belligerent?

I understand you want to be in a frat and drink yourself to obliteration, but you don’t need to try to fight everyone and let all of that testosterone out. Who are you trying to impress? I hope it is no one because no one in their right mind would think that is in any way, shape or form cool.

11. Can you just be yourself?

This isn’t high school. You don’t need to pretend like Troy Bolton and hide who you really are. Girls actually like it when guys don’t try to be fratty because that’s when they are themselves. Yourself is a great way to be. Especially when trying to impress a girl.

Bottom line. We will always love you frat stars. We can't help ourselves. But just make it a little easier on us, will ya?
