Frattiest Bars.... - Page 8

Well maybe a little. More, I think the people on this board would classify people I enjoy hanging out with as such. I don't think they're pricks, they just enjoy nice things, dress well, act classy and have money. That probably would qualify them as "asshole" to a lot of greek chat folks.

Nah, the only thing that qualifies someone as an asshole in my book is assuming acting classy requires having money. It's possible to do one without the other or both together, and I know which one is more important to me, anyway.

OK, I see where you're going.

I do have a question for you, though. I was under the impression that the Auburn fraternity guys were a little more country than the Alabama fraternity guys.

Like, are the guys down there the Ducks Unlimited sort or the Wallabees & polos sort? You see both at Alabama, but leaning more toward the Wallabees & polos.

Bad analogy using Ducks Unlimited, which is a waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization and has nothing to do with style of dress or if you are "country" or not.

Don't worry, that's definitely not true. Not that I'm an official GreekChat spokesperson or anything, but I don't believe most of us would classify anyone who "acts classy" as an "elitist prick" or an a$$hole.

Mind you, however, there are folks out there who enjoy nice things, dress well and have money who think that, by virtue of those things, they are better than other people. Those people are, of course, the antithesis of "classy". Or, in other words, "elitist pricks" (or prickettes???

) and a$4holes; the ones you look at and say, "Didn't their mama teach them manners?"

Except for the fact that people laugh at them

And besides, anyone who would actually define themselves as "elitist" is trying way too hard to feel exclusive.

I was just kidding, I wouldn't want to be referred as that, not would I like to hang around anyone that is considered a prick. I don't think anyone would.

Most of the country boys I know love to hunt (either waterfowl or deer) and spend time outdoors, so they dress like it. That's all I'm saying. Some fraternity guys I know dress more outdoorsy as such, and others dress more dressed-up in khakis, polos, Wallabees or Sperrys, etc. I'm asking shinerbock which is more prevalent at Auburn.

And I know what Ducks Unlimited is. I've been to some of their functions before, and my boyfriend is a duck hunter, so believe me, I know more about bluewinged teals than I ever wanted to.

shinerbock · #**115** 03-07-2006, 11:10 PM

Actually I think they're probably about the same. I really don't hang out in Tuscaloosa very much, but I think Auburn and Bama are both more "Ducks Unlimited" in the winter, and pastels in the summer. I can't really speak to what happens at Bama, but when comparing Auburn to greeks from UGA, Arkansas, SC, etc, I think we're much more "preppy." I think the average stereotypical Auburn guy would be khakis, brooks bros or polo shirt, sperry's, all while driving a z 71. I'd say overall its more country and yacht club than hunting club.

georgewallace3 · #**116** 03-07-2006, 11:18 PM

UGA, Alabama, Ole Miss, South Carolina..........are all extremely preppy, far more so than Auburn. Really not sure how you compared Auburn to a Yacht Club.

shinerbock · #**117** 03-08-2006, 12:37 AM

Sorry George, going against you on this one. The student body at Auburn is probably among the preppiest overall in the SEC . Alabama has good greeks, but the rest of the student body sucks. That is why their greek system is so strong, because they are so seperate from the majority of the campus. Bama has plenty of old money types, but so does Auburn, and it is pretty apparent. You mentioning UGA is simply ridiculous. UGA probably has the most money of all the schools you listed, but the large majority are metro-atl abercrombie type kids. Even many of the greeks at UGA are like this.

Yeah, that's why I didn't go to UGA. I couldn't stand the gel. lol.

georgewallace3 · #**119** 03-08-2006, 02:56 AM

I certainly haven't seen that when I have gone to visit Athens, but oh well. Stupid to argue, allthough I do think that there are far frattier and more preppy schools than Auburn in the SEC.

shinerbock · #**120** 03-08-2006, 10:35 AM

Well hell, Vandy may be the preppiest school in the SEC. I think the SEC as far as fratty would be Ole Miss, Bama, then Auburn. That being based solely on the quality of greek systems.
