What do you think about this column?

Hey guys,

These articles appeared in Mizzou's Greek newspaper. I've never heard anyone talk like that,

I like it, i think it's pretty funny.

We used to use the words frat-tastic or frat-taular to describe things. Me and some of my bros have frat-ttos also.

I think it's funny too. I understand how it could be seen as promoting stereotypes, but it's kind of like: "you might be a redneck if..." of course, not all those things are true and apply to all southern people that's why it's funny! I think being able to make fun of yourself is also a positive. Alot of Fraternity men do wear North Face jackets and backwards hats!!! I also don't think it's meant in a greek-bashing kind of way. One fraternity here always serves hamburgers at their parties (so no one drinks too much) and we always refer to them as frat-burgers. mmmm....frat-burgers......

I thought it was funny. And as for fratburgers, we had them at my school too. Traditionally we equated them with the scrawy preformed (often cloud shaped) that you get at the grocery store.
