Eight Things Fraternity Guys Should Stop Doing

495

Recently, there was an article that listed eight things sorority girls should stop doing, which were all very true.

I laughed, knowing that I was guilty of many of the offenses like wearing oversized shirts, Nike shorts on the daily, and basically any other stereotypes you can think of.

However, I began to think about all the annoying things that fraternity guys do. So, I thought it was time to shed some light on all the things frat guys are doing wrong with their lives and need to stop doing. Immediately.

  1. Telling everyone how blacked out you got last night.  I’m sorry, but no one really cares about how much of your night you don’t remember. We usually just pity laugh and say “oh cool” to get you to stop talking. But really, we don’t care. Sorry to break the news to you.
  2. Telling people how many girls you have gotten with. That ain’t cool. That’s more repulsive than anything. A girl likes to feel like she is the best thing that has ever happened to you. If a girl had the option to test drive a brand new Audi over a stained, dirty Ford Pinto that has seen a few too many joy rides, which one do you think she would pick?
  3. Addressing a group of girls as “ladies”. It doesn’t make you seem any more gentlemanly or chivalrous. It just makes you kind of seem like a douche bag. I smile every time a guy says this, but its just because I’m laughing at how dumb you sound. So not frat.
  4. Describing things as “so frat” or “so not frat”.  This is just as bad as "ladies." Again, you just seem like a giant tool that is too dull for use.
  5. Drinking and driving.  I honestly don’t understand why guys in fraternities do this. There is nothing funny about burying a brother when he is killed in a drunk driving accident. Call a cab and don’t get behind the wheel.
  6. After you hook up with a girl, avoiding her like the plague. Just because you hooked up with a girl doesn’t mean she wants to marry you. So get off your high horse and at least make eye contact with her when you pass her in the library. I hate to break it to you, but you aren’t that cool for ignoring her.
  7. “The Frat Snap.” That thing that every guy seems to magically know how to do where they flick their fingers and it makes a snapping noise. It almost seems like it is a requirement to be able to do this in order to be in a frat. Maybe this only made the list just because I am a little jealous I can’t do it, but it also is really annoying.
  8. Drink beer or get out. Apparently, you are only considered a “real” man if you drink beer. What is Popeye without his spinach? Not a moron, that’s what he is.  Do everyone a favor. Skip the game of beer pong and just take a few shots to get the job of getting drunk done faster. 


Ladies, did we miss any??  Let us know!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
