The Chi Psi guys in Borat

Not that I believe EVERY Chi Psi brother out there is an identical, carbon copy of the guys in the movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"....I'm just wondering though...if their inter/national office signed a release for their fraternity's name to be used.

I am sure that HQ did not give them the right to use their name. That said, the don't really have to.

They most certianally did not.

As a Chi Psi, I for one am pissed off at the use of our letters like this. I talked to some Chi Psis from other schools this weeked and confirmed that this sentiment is prettymuch shared by everyone.

I finally went to see the movie. Mostly because I read the this post and I wanted to see it in the first place. I know this is kind of not on topic here right now but if you did not see the movie it is not worth it, Wait for the DVD because all the funny parts were shown in the commercials.

Now getting back to Psi Chi. We dont have a Chapter of them down in Hawaii. I am a newly intiated Kappa Sigma brother and I really do see this as a downer for Fraternities a like. I already took critisism from friends about joining a fraternity because we dont have the greatest labels and some guys have to do something like this on a movie. Let alone talking about the subject matters they did.

These guys pretty much say it all...

These three idiots in Borat did a wonderful job of portraying the average frat boy. And now they wanna sue because the movie's making millions and they're portrayed as the male pigs that they are. These guys are the embodiment of the fraternity system-- bagging on minorities, bagging on women. Oh, that's right-- they were drunk, so its okay. It kind of strikes me as funny that these three big tough fraternity boys are now suing for emotional distress and whatever else they're calling it. Sexist racist losers with big mouths. Though, I'm sure they'll be embraced by the majority of the fraternity system as heroes. Always love to see a system such as this torn apart so we can see what's really inside.

Wow, what a moronic, ignorant post. I'm going to assume that you are a loser GDI.

You obviously have little knowledge of anything fraternity if you think those douchebaggish fags are the embodiment of the fraternity system. Those guys are the laughing stock of the The South, without question. I wouldn't give those guys the time of day, nor would I let them step foot in my fraternity house.
