History Channel - Frat Boys

AlphaGam1019 · #1 09-01-2003, 09:16 PM

FYI, right now on History channel (9pm EST)

A 90-minute study of American college fraternities from elitist emergence in the 1820s, through the 19th century as they became accepted into the collegiate mainstream, and into the 20th century as they experienced public outcry due to hazing scandals and widespread alcohol abuse. We also follow University of Mississippi freshman Curran Foose through fraternity rush, pledging, and initiation at Phi Delta Theta. Other frat boys we talk to include Kevin Costner and Matthew McConaughey.

I'm in the middle of watching it right now...commercial break. Pretty cool show. I mean, I KNOW how sorority rush works, but it's sorta interesting to see how it is for the guys

I suggest we do our comments and critiques on the other one (mentioned above) since it has a number of good posts already.

No reason to be redundant.

Just a suggestion.

I only caught the end of it, when they were showing the Phi Delt pledges about to be initiated, but I thought the show had a positive and flattering tone.
