Joining a fraternity is a time old tradition for many guys entering college but how can you figure out which frat to join? While there isn’t a foolproof way to figure out which is the right frat to join, here are eight signs that you have joined the wrong frat.
1. Wine Runs, Not Beer Runs
- If your frat prefers a wine tasting to a good old kegger, prepare to spend a lot of time being tied to trees and discussing post-modern art. If your idea of a fun Friday night is drinking organic kiwi juice and eating tofu escargot you’re in luck. If not, get out while you can or you’ll never see another burger till you graduate.
2. Your Frat Brothers Sat Alone In High School Lunch
- If you just joined a frat run by the kid with the lazy eye and one shoe bigger than the other, get ready for an initiation consisting of reciting the first 150 Pokemon in order and seeing who can drink the most Mountain Dew and not hate themselves in the morning.
3. They Go Looking For A Date On Campus…
- But go to an all-male college. If this is the case, run now or buy a lot of mouthwash and ice packs, your call.
4. The Frat Mascot is Chupacabra
- Points for originality but you may have ventured in too deep. You might want to ask the guy with the prison tats and a scar across his cheek standing next to you if you have joined a frat or MS-13.
5. Instead of Fundraisers You Have Bank Runs
- Look on the bright side, they have an excellent education program in prison. And you’ll always have a date.
6. Your Initiation Is To Be Spanked While Wearing Leather Chaps And A Ball Gag
- If they’re motto is “Don’t Knock It Till You’ve Tried It,” don’t take it as a dare.
7. Their Idea Of A Good Time Is Protesting An Abortion Clinic
- Hey, nothing wrong with spending your peak years dressed in slacks and knocking on people’s doors early in the morning to tell them about how great Christianity is (just ask any gay person how great Christianity is). Look at it this way, you’ll have plenty of friends for the Rapture. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid.
8. On Pledge Week, They Sacrifice a Goat
- Suddenly protesting abortion clinic doesn’t seem like a terrible idea. Sure your frat brothers might be a little…out there but black clothes are slimming…
We're not condoning excessive drinking, but this is pretty awesome.

The media has had flashing red lights and bomb sirens on 24/7 as they continue to incite panic in preparation for the coming swine flu season which will apparently strike the country like the Black Plague.
As the flashing lights may suggest, you too need to prepare for the coming apocalypse. Here is a basic guide to ensure that you are ready to take on what comes your way.
Surrounding your frat or sorority house with a moat is a great way to keep those that are already infected out of your home because, as everyone knows, swine flu victims whine too much to swim.
It would also be wise to add a little Clorox bleach into your moat water so as to avoid an infected person sneezing into it and infecting the vicious hybrid dogs that will undoubtedly be patrolling the area.
When exiting your fortress of solitude, make sure to dress for success. A simple Haz-Mat suit ought to protect you from the snot nosed little kids that will be attacking your knee tendons (that is what swine flu victims crave, no explanation has been offered by the Center for Disease Control) but knee pads help.
Should a group of infected second-graders cross your path and create a showdown situation, you will need to be armed to the toes. An anti-bacterial spray to the eyes usually does the trick but keeping a BBQ lighter and some Axe spray on hand will get you out of those really stick situations.
- Don’t Forget The Antidote
Take the time you have until the epidemic begins to load up on the antidote, even if you do not get infected, you can make a ton of cash selling it on the flu market.
One packet of DayQuil and NyQuil will do the trick and thensome.
What not to do to protect yourself from swine flu

We’ve all seen ‘em. Walking around campus with a holier-than-thou attitude, looking down on all of us who simply “don’t understand.” Hipsters - the name itself conjures up the most pretentious of images. Perhaps scruffy guys with horn-rimmed glasses refusing to laugh, or the faux-philosophers tacking on a “post” to every “ism” they mention. Their irony protects them, and they even have a certain non-threatening charm. However, they’re still the group we like to hate… that is until we become one of them ourselves. If you’re worried that you might be a hipster, here are a few helpful indicators to look out for.
You know you’re a college hipster if…
- The obscure band you like somehow has Reagan, elephants and vacuum in its name. “You mean, you’ve never heard of the Vacuum of Reagan Elephants?”
- You quote Nietzsche ironically
- You’re so postmodern that you refuse to call yourself anything, but being whatever is the point. Get it? I didn’t think so.
- You only drink free-trade coffee, and only have sex with people who drink free-trade coffee.
- You’re not gay, but also not straight. What are they but labels anyway?
- You’re for alternative energy because you like anything alternative.
- You prefer Gustav Klimt’s earlier paintings to his later ones.
- You don’t agree with anything; just find things either interesting or ignorant.
- Your shoes were imported from Europe because American shoes just don’t do it for you.
- You’re skinnier than the 25 cigarettes you smoke a day.
- You like documentaries that deal with little impoverished groups in Asia or Africa, and then like bemoaning their stories to your friends.
- You like your t-shirt of Che Guevara wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt.
- You like starting every conversation with, “I was reading an article in the Times the other day…”
- You think third wave feminism was so 2008.
- You have the time to know what the word “obstreperous” means.
- You hate going home on vacations because you hate your parents despite the fact that they fund and enable your pseudo-education and life as a hipster.
No, we're not cool. We're hipsters.

If you are just entering college you may be confused by the absence of the “popular kids” and the nerds that sit alone at lunch. College, particularly college students, are very different from high school. Here are the five people that you will meet in college.
- The Know-It-All (a.k.a. Poindexter)- On your first day of class this is the person you will notice the quickest and will grow to dislike even faster than that. He will dissect the syllabus ad nauseam, correct the most mundane of typos, and get a cramp from raising his hand throughout the entire class. The know-it-all is easy to spot. He will be the one with the $400 glasses and the book bag on wheels.
- The Stoner Hippie (a.k.a. Bud)- If you take any philosophy or art class, you will be surrounded by this species of college student that exists everywhere except for Brigham Young University. Once you see the stoner hippie in your class, prepare to see your class be constantly derailed by long philosophical and incoherent ramblings about how Socrates relates to Dora The Explorer and ham sandwiches. The stoner hippie is also easy to spot by the stained t-shirt and the red, half-open eyes.
- The Wise Ass (a.k.a. Conan)- For everything the above two people say, the wise ass has a play on words to throw into the mix. It may seem funny at first but it’s a long semester that will make you resent his obvious puns and annoying interruptions. You can identify the wise ass before he makes his first “that’s what she said” crack by the obviously ironic graphic tee and constant smirk.
- The Frat Guy (a.k.a. Greek) - You will know the frat guy from the moronic frat cheer he will do on the steps of the building before coming to the class hungover and without a pen. Despite spending most of his time trying to pick up girls in class, the frat guy will still do better than you in class thanks to the know it all that lets him copy his answers in return for admission into the frat.
- The Sorority Girl (a.k.a. Sorostitute) - The sorority girl is the chick you may remember from the cheerleading squad in high school. She is usually pretty, blonde, and giggles out loud at her text messages. If you are looking for a quick lay you should invest in a 40 Oz. bottle of Colt 45 and dependable condoms.
