Frat parties are full of all sorts of people—some laughing and giggling, unable to stand up straight, and others just go to drink the night away without really talking to anyone. Nonetheless, if you've been to a frat party, you have seen all of these characters. And if you haven't seen one, it's because you're probably that person.
1. The Newbie
These are most likely freshmen who don’t know what to do with all of this newfound freedom. They could also possibly be sophomores that were too scared to venture out of their comfort zones last year. They’re going to start off easy… but they’ll be back. They are the definition of “can’t stop, won’t stop.” You can find them taking selfies in the bathroom, complaining about how hot it is, or asking the driver to go to McDonald's. They are such an SOS that even you will be embarrassed for them.
2. The Regular
These girls are the first ones there and the last ones to leave. Not only are they at every party, but they also support the brothers with philanthropy events. They own more fraternity shirts (some they stole) than actual clothing, but they don’t see a problem with it. These are the girls you need to be friends with because they’re just really great people (read: can get you whatever you want).
3. The Contestants of "So You Think You Can Dance"
These are the people that have to clear the dance floor when “their” song comes on (update: EVERY song is their song). They have go-to dance moves for every party, and they make sure that at least one person gets it on Snapchat. You’ll wonder if they’re okay, they will potentially pull a muscle, you’ll wish you could be them. It takes a special level of confidence to pull this off, but take notes. You’ll need to embrace this person sooner or later.
4. The Wallflower
These are the people that don’t care who they talk to, in fact, they would rather not talk at all. They came out to hang out with their friends because they just finished binge-watching "House of Cards" on Netflix and needed some social interaction. They don’t care about the theme, they’re going to wear all black anyway. They don’t care what song is playing, they don’t know how to dance… but they’ll dance anyways. They’ll take a few Snapchats to show they went out, talk to that guy they always see in biology, and be home by midnight.
5. The Old Soul
These are the people that have been going since the first weekend of their freshman year. They’re probably seniors (maybe even super seniors) that can’t accept the fact that they’re graduating soon. They just showed up for free drinks in hopes that they could forget they’re surrounded by types one through four. They’re similar to The Regulars except they can’t really help you at all, and they don’t want to. Avoid them, stay out of their way.
