The Positives And Negatives Of Fraternity Guys

Being in Greek life in college, you meet a lot of other people in other fraternities and sororities on campus. Sororities and fraternities have a reputation of their own, but being in Greek life, we understand one another. Sometimes.

One of the fun things about being in a sorority is of course sisterhood, but who doesn't like cute fraternity boys? Well, fraternity guys might be fun, and nice to look at, but they definitely have their negatives. And, also some positives. Now, of course this list does not include every frat guy out there, but it is more of a general list.


Negatives

They are way too conceited.

Frat guys definitely think that they are much cooler than they actually are. They walk around like they're Calvin Klein models when half of them are sporting the "dad bod" look. They seriously need to get over themselves.

They dress the same.

Now I know this could be said, and probably is said for sorority girls too, but seriously guys? When you all wear khaki shorts, high socks, Nikes, and of course a comfort colors T-shirt with your letters on it, we get tired of the seeing the same thing. Do you have anything else in your closet?

They think it is cool to be "eskimo brothers" or players.

If you don't know what that term means consider yourself lucky. Most fraternity guys are brainless when it comes to dating, or even the girl species, therefore that leads to many girls for one guy.

They act different around their brothers.

They could be the sweetest guy you think you've ever met. Always giving you compliments, opening doors, and taking you out for dinners. But, get them around their brothers and they instantly turn into an ignorant ball of raging testosterone.

They might as well have their chapter meetings at Alcoholics Anonymous.

Because lets face it, every Thursday, Saturday, and even some Fridays you can bet money that they are wasted. Whether they go to the bar, or host a crazy house party, their livers are definitely getting a workout during their college years.

Lastly, they're pretty judgmental.

Whether it is the fact that they only hang out with the "prettiest" sorority or they are making up rude nicknames for the less popular chapters, fraternity guys can just be cruel sometimes. And they wonder why they have a bad reputation.

There aren't always only negatives that go along with fraternities. They do have some positives.


Positives

They are loyal.

Whether that is just with their chapter, and or other parts of their lives, frat guys are taught to be loyal and that is something that they definitely know how to do.

They're nice to look at.

Let's face it girls, as annoying as they can be, they can be pretty attractive sometimes. Those khaki shorts and Nike's do look good every once in a while and knowing how to properly dress up and look nice is definitely a good quality to have.

They know how to have a good time.

Those raging college parties are where sorority sisters make some of their best memories. We love getting invited to parties with y'all because you guys know how to do it right. The trashcan punch and beer pong tournament is always something to look forward to.

They can be very down to earth.

Yes, sometimes they can be judgmental and rude, but when you find the group of the right fraternity guys, you will love hanging out with them. Kicking back with some pizza and a football game is something that they are pros at, and if you're lucky enough to find the right frat guy, he will let you take the biggest piece and cheer for the losing team.

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.
