The Frat Boy News blog
 
Anyone here ever check this site out? It's pretty funny, though some times I think its kinda of sexist. It covered the DePauw Delta Zeta thing pretty well.

A few things...I know this site is just a sad attempt advertise his blog (and probably make money with the page hits), however:
  • how any fraternity man can call himself "frat boy" is beyond me
  • aside from the the photos where sorority members are wearing attire that sport their letters, I don't think the author has the right to slap on letters to any old picture -- namely the ones where chicks are kissing each other or sitting on toilets.
  • HQs are going to have a field day with these photos, whether or not the letters really belong to the girls in the photo
  • CAUTION: this blog's NSFW, and while the OP calls it sexist, I'm sure many GCers will cringe once they see their letters attached to questionable pix of girls that might not even be part of the organization
  • I'm convinced even more that the OP = blog author. After all, all his posts on GC have been nothing put posts telling us to go to this site.

Hmmmm... can we say "cease and desist letter"??? Or rather, lawsuit. Someone needs an intro to trademark law...

I was wondering that too. Are the photos with sorority letters really from that sorority? Do girls post that stuff on Facebook...or is the blog-writer just putting random letters on racy photos?

I've seen some where he calls the sorority out and you can actually see those same letters on composites, or shirts in the background.

So I was under the impression that he is calling them what they are.

It's times like these where it's nice to belong to a smaller, lesser-known sorority. Idiots trying to traffic people on to their site with questionable photos leave us out of it.

While I do agree that the pictures are extremely inappropriate, I think the idea of having a blog with news about Greek Life around the country is good. There was a blurb about my chapter, but it was positive.
