Fraternity guys, although sporting different letters on their broad chests, have one thing in common. And before you think this is judgmental, trust me: They all act much more "frat" when they're around each other, a phrase I'm sure you recognize. And to be honest, that's the exact trait we hate to love about them.
Whether he's your best friend, your boyfriend, related to you, or someone you met last week, you know the type I'm referring to. They collectively hang out in their giant mansions on old couches (or outside on couches?) and listen to a variety of random rap songs, country songs and for some reason, "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift. Their vocabulary includes words like "smoke" to describe an attractive girl, "geed" or GDI, who's a person not affiliated with Greek life, and "frat," which apparently can be a noun, verb or adjective. Hobbies include grilling, lifting, partying, drinking (casually, during the day or socially) and being with girls, obviously, which makes us feel pretty great. College majors usually revolve around the business and communications department.
We love the huge parties they throw and how they pretend their specific room is the best one in the entire fraternity house, even though it looks like every other dirty trap house in the nation. In addition, it's extremely adorable and extremely annoying how childish they are. Maybe it's a woman's maternal instinct to want to take care of people, but we can't help loving to pretend like we detest the whole persona.
We hate to love their immaturity, but it's honestly adorable (in moderation). We know it's only temporary because eventually, they'll have to grow up and leave college to become independent and successful. This makes us so proud, and also more attracted to them.
I mean, believe it or not, a lot of them are gentlemen. Mainly in the South, but you can find your fair share of men who will open the door and pay for your meals up here in the North. And you like a guy who dresses well, in Ralph Lauren dress shirts and Sperry boat shoes. I'm not sure why, but this is an indicator for an impressive (rich *winks*) future, which is even more appealing to us girls.
But then you realize that every girl like you shares the same opinion, so the good fraternity boys are gone quickly. And the ones left are suffer from commitment-phobia.
It doesn't matter what college you attend. There's always a group of them that you want to hang out and laugh with forever. They're hilarious, because to a sorority girl, fraternities can bring you some of the best friends you've ever had. That's the best benefit. They're loyal, protective and never haven't offered you everything for free on a variety of occasions.
So your opinion absolutely depends on your experiences with these men, but at the end of the night, you're still post-gaming with the same ones you contemplated ditching earlier.
It's true what they say. Fraternity boys, can't live with them, can't live without them.
