For the love of all that is holy, please stop posting that. I get the hibie jibies every time it pops up.

Also, nobody will be impressed. The guys you're talking to have seen binge drinking up close and (probably) personal, and won't be awed by your awesome high school stories about that time you and your friends got SO WASTED.

On that note, if you do spring rush your freshman year, don't get wasted at another house, then come to my house with your friends who are brothers, then puke on the floor. Game over.

Well, you ARE a fraternity member in the SEC [right? I think so?] as opposed to a mom of someone.

You clearly know NOTHING about what to say at Greek rush events, duh.

On that note, I could also care less how good at beer pong you are. No matter how good you are, I'm better anyway. Same with flip cup.

I'm pretty sure they are the same at every school too. Most southern fraternities aren't like this though.
They are obviously not people that I want to associate with but they still have a right to have their own private organization. Any claim by them of not being racist is a boldfaced lie though.

This is one of the most dumb fucking posts I have ever read on here.

Although I am not a KA......I have several friends that are at many different schools. In my experience, them and the other men in their respective chapters are nothing but stand up, respectful gentlemen.

KA "Order" was also not founded by Robert E. Lee. Good call though.

.....and how the hell does wearing a Civil War costume and going to a party with a date, who is dressed in an Antebellum style ball gown, a sign that you are a racist?

Here we go again.

do people really use the word "drunktaneous" in a conversation? Just curious.

I've got kids at UF and UT and have never heard that word. It just seems so affected and over the top.

Occasionally, when you are looking for a word to define exactly how overly drunk you were, but simply saying you were drunk just doesnt cut it. drunktaneous is an excellent addition to anyones fratty vocabulary.

This one has a varied definition of it.

Heh...maybe it's because they don't go around telling their mom how hammered they got last weekend?

I would have...but then again, my dad come to visit me at college when I was still underage and asked me which bar we could go to that doesn't card.

Although really, I probably have drunk as much alcohol in my entire life as many college kids do their freshman year. I like to drink every now and then, but it's just not the be-all-to-end-all that some college underclassmen see it as.
