What is an SAE?
 
I thought yall would like this. One of my brothers emailed this to me.

Between the gawkiness of early adolescence and the dignity of full manhood, we find a creature known as the SAE. He comes in assorted sizes, weights, and ages, but all seem to have the same creed: to delay doing class assignments and term papers; to anticipate forthcoming weekends; to engage in all night bull sessions; to do the right thing at the wrong time and the wrong thing at the right time; to complain incessantly; and to work together as brothers.

An SAE is Truth with lipstick on his collar; Beauty adulterated only by a T-shirt and bermudas; Wisdom with a beer in his hand; Hope-for-the-future with a date on his arm.

He is a composite - he has the energy of a pocketsize atomic bomb, the irresponsibility of an overnight guest, the lungs of a dictator, the enthusiasm of an evangelist, the fault-finding ability of a taxpayer, the friendliness of a salesman.

Nobody gets as much fun out of a joke or TV program. Nobody else can sleep as much, eat as much, drink as much, cram as much, date as much and enjoy life as much. Nobody else is quite so attractive or so unaware of it.

Mothers love them, fathers finance them, other boys envy them, girls glorify them, Heaven protects them, and the rest are divided on the subject

Phi Alpha bro and thanks for posting! I saw this as well at one point during my time as an undergrad and it still makes me smile when I read it. :)
