Disclaimer: This list is completely my creation and therefore, all the criteria for making this list was made up in my head. So if you have an issue with the rankings, check yourself.
This list also will not include professional athletes who are actually members of fraternities because that kind of defeats the purpose of the list.
Let's dive into the world where fraternity stars and pro athletes connect.
10. Rickie Fowler
The dude plays golf for a living. How frat is that?? Fowler is known for is vibrantly colored outfits, a horrible mustache, and the ability to goof around. Until this year, he had never won a major championship as a professional, but that never stopped him from having a good time. "Bro, check out this dank orange hat I got to go with my baller orange shirt, pants, shoes, and necklace. I look sick, bro!" (not an actual quote but I can imagine that's the inner monologue going through his mind in the top picture.)
9. Ryan Lochte
"All the stuff that I do, like, the crazy shoes I wear — like the grills I wear on the podium, the crazy shoes, all that crazy stuff — like, rock star." (actual quote from Lochte).
Playing a non-conventional sport is a great way to get noticed. On top of that, Lochte is known for being self-centered. So he's a swimmer, a good looking bro, but also quite entitled. Haven't seen stats like that since McCoy. (!!!) And, he could win us the DG Anchor Splash competition by himself. Give him a bid.
8. Chandler Parsons
When he's not ballin' out on fouls for the Dallas Mavericks, Parsons works as a model. He is your prototypical florida frat boy. The 6'9" pretty boy has been a talked-about talent since he was in high school near Orlando, Florida, throughout his years at the University of Florida, and during his productive yet young NBA career. You know this dude spends more time with his shirt off than on.
7. Manny Machado
Here, Machado gets upset over the "violent" tag of A's third baseman Josh Donaldson. So what does he do? Naturally, he throws his helmet at the ground, gets up and starts mouthing off to Donaldson with no intention of backing it up.
The next day, Machado, still angry about the tag from the day before, throws his bat at Donaldson after he strikes out. Of course, he misses and tries to say it slipped. But it was definitely intentional.
The young third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles makes this list for the roid rage type rampage he went on against the Oakland A's last year. On top of his athletic abilities, he fills a diversity hole the make the fraternity look even better. Boom, two birds, one fratty stone.
6. Yordano Ventura
Hitting Lawrie was in response to Lawrie's hard slide on the Royals' shortstop Alcides Escobar the night before. But why didn't Ventura hit Lawrie in his first two at bats? Instead of waiting until he had given up 5 runs to plunk Lawrie. Not handled the proper way by Yordano.
The Kansas City Royals young starter has been in sporting news multiple times over the past calendar year. He broke out as a dominant pitcher at the end of last season and in the remarkable post season run last year for the Royals. He possesses a high 90s fastball and he wears his heart on his sleeve when he pitches. Fun to watch for sure, but this year Ventura has struggled on the mound. Not only that, he has nearly started multiple bench-clearing brawls this season. Young, whiny kid who gets upset when he's not playing well and starts trying to get in fights. Sounds like all of the frat stars trying to play intramurals after a year of non-stop binge drinking.
5.Philip Rivers
(Here's Rivers throwing a fit at his O-Line)
He wears bolo ties, and might be the whiniest player in the history of professional sports. Every time he's on TV I want to punch him in the face. He just looks like a total frat star from Texas who has had daddy pay for everything. There are very few things that bring me joy like watching Rivers' chargers get bounced from the playoffs every year. On top of that, he has one of the worst throwing motions I have ever seen from a quarter back.
4. Patrick Kane
He's one of the best players in the NHL, plays on the best team in the NHL, has a stupid haircut and likes to party (sniff sniff). He is just absolutely bro-tastic and would get a bid in a heart beat. His chill to pull to goal to mullet ratio is off the charts.
3. Bryce Harper
Check out this sick hair flip. Gotta keep the lettuce in place bro.
This dude was on the cover of sports illustrated while he was still in high school. What are you doing with your life? Not getting yoked and hitting balls being thrown at you 400+ feet the other way. Should make a great addition to the beer league softball team.
2. Johnny Manziel
"Johnny Football" is the ultimate bro. He's been to rehab before turning 25 years old so he's got that going for him. He's constantly being scrutinized for his partying habits and all of the f@#ks he doesn't give. I'll just let the pictures do the talking here.
"Suck it Redskins"
1. Rob Gronkowski
Who even thinks of this idea??
Gronk is the best in the nation at partying and goofing off. There is not a fraternity in the world who wouldn't let Gronk in, even is he wasn't 6'7" and a supreme athlete. He is what all frat guys hope to be: the King of Partying. At some point in their life, every bro has said "I wanna party with Gronk." He's like a real-life Thad Castle
