That is not frat.....at all.

I agree with Macallen, but joining a fraternity at Texas is something I think most are proud of, and like to show it off, which I think Macallan can agree. The same can be said about UT shirts and gear. I own a limited supply of them, people know I go to Texas, and I don't need to advertise it besides sporting events. I avoid wearing t-shirts whenever I'm in public, I like to dress smarter. I am though, usually always wearing my Spurs ball cap (a spirit group at Texas, which is for the most part, held in high regard and that I'm balding hehe). When I graduate, I will either give all my sorority shirts / fraternity shirts to a younger guy in my fraternity, or Goodwill.
Three finals tomorrow, I really need to stop dicking around GC.

Edit* When I am an alumnus, I will probably own an alumni hat, to the organizations I belong to that have alumni associations, but undergrad stuff, well, hopefully law school will afford me the ability to wear suits daily, and not college gear.

I'll agree with you there. You aren't from Highland Park are you?? Over OU/TX weekend the Spurs had Bevo out in front of my Aunt and Uncle's house in HP for a block party. It was quite a good time.

I wasn't out there, I'm sure I was in the same place you were, partying in a hotel somewhere. I forget the price, but anyone can get Bevo out to an event. Without UT’s help, we have to fund him somehow

It must have been a hell of a party though if they had the thousands to drop for him alone.

Edit**, I suppose you were not there.

I know of some Spurs from Highland Park.....so maybe that was it. Could have been an alumni thing.....there are several SAE alumni that live in HP and were all Spurs.

Frat applies to sorority girls aswell, when using it as terms of dress.

If you did not know that, you obviously do not dress fratty. I think fratty.net had a great definition, although I believe it's down now.

If you don't know the meaning of "frat" there is no point in explaining it to you. Being "fratty" is a lifestyle....."frat" can be used to describe actions, events, decisions..basically anything that occurs during the course of one's day.

Girls can absolutely be fratty. I thought you meant that the guys got their jackets/fleeces embroidered too......which is not frat and GDI-ish. If it is just the girls that have the embroidery......thats fine. It is perfectly acceptable for girls to have letters on everything they own.
