I think in many cases, there is a percieved notion from fraternity members that they are special, meaning others would like to be "them" because they are cool and in a frat. When in truth, most think it to be overcompensation for other issues in their life, and could really care less if they are breathing. Belonging to a secret society where they sacrifice live animals and the like, is different of course.

A lot of frats that I have seen are complete dbags.I'm Not saying all of them are. A lot of frats have nice guys. But the few dbags paint a bad picture for all of the other fraternities. I have friends that have joined fraternities, but I never joined one.

What would you rather people look like this? What is wrong with people dressing well and looking professional?

I'd rather not have people like that. I also don't really think there is anything "professional" or "respectable" about the way some frat guys dress most of the time. It looks half assed. There is nothing professional about half assed.

Professional is the wrong word. Khaki shorts and a button down look better than the cargos/jorts and a t shirt with a ketchup stain on it you see at UT football games.

Does it look better when that shirt is only halfway buttoned? What about the boat shoes and lack of socks? That pink snap back hat sure does complete the respectable look. I'll continue wearing my cargo shorts and t-shirt because anyone who is that judgmental of what I wear when I'm not in a professional environment needs better things to do with their life.

No one I know in fraternities wears their shirt half way unbuttoned - and neon hat lol? Can't say I've seen that either at least with khaki shorts and a button down.. Maybe with a tank top and athletic shorts? I think you're confusing fraternity members with a different stereotype - if anything you see them in visors. A UT hat, a Tennessee flag hat, and a golfing visor were the only hats I owned during college - and when I actually wore I hat I certainly never wore it backwards.

Sounds like you've confused the rage/dubstep crowd with southern fraternities.

Also - yeah boat shoes aren't supposed to be worn with socks - news flash I know - but if you walked around with socks on with boat shoes on with shorts then you would be laughed at like someone wearing socks and sandals would or if you wore white socks with dress pants and shoes.

But seriously - you need to burn those cargos or someone might put bricks in them.

I've seen plenty of halfway buttoned shirts around campus. Spring rolls around and some frat boys suddenly think everyone wants to see their chest hair.

You assume I know anything about the rage or dubstep crowd.

If I walked around in boat shoes at all I would feel ridiculous.

I'll take my chances.

I have a feeling halfway unbuttoned to you means that only 1 button below the neck is unbuttoned.

And the dubstep crowd wears those neon hats and likes to "rage" - a lot of northern and west coast fraternities are like that too. Sororities did give them out for their philanthropy events I noticed when I was at UT - but that's about the only time I saw them unless there was a dubstep concert at the Valarium that night or something.

You realize even hipsters wear boat shoes don't you? My 60 year old father wears sperrys. But I am sorry to hear you will be sticking with your Nike shocks and cargo shorts.

Do you even use the extra goofy pockets when you're going out?

Do you wear beat up sh*tty polo knock-off button downs and down kegs of Natty Light because you're too pathetic to buy anything decent?

Did you graduate college with a 2.2 GPA because you were too busy partying and killing your liver?

Do you think you're better than everyone else?

Did you have to buy a network of friends and connections because your vapid personality left you without the ability to build one for yourself?

Phone and keys/loose change go in the pockets. Wallet and sunglasses in the extra pockets. Number of effs given that I'm wearing whatever I want to wear is usually at zero because it isn't anything outrageous.

Let's see - no I wear brooks brothers. I only drink occasionally.

No I graduated college with a 3.3 in engineering and my liver is fine.

Yes. Well better than you at least.

Nope - why do you ask?

do you often deal in such baseless generalizations?

I meant that its rather easy to get them going.

Now that I'm 7 years removed from UT, I've realized a lot of them aren't that bad. But there is a sad minority that just can't leave their college days behind.

They're like any group, I guess.

I couldn't care less either way about clothing. I love my cargos, but that's because I'm in scrubs all week. If you want to go with shorter khaki's and Sperrys, then more power to you. The only thing I'll say about Frat clothes is that I don't understand if the shirt size thing. If you are a XL, then buy a XL. Don't stuff yourself into a large.

Its pretty asinine to generalize based on damn clothing.

We are getting off topic here guys, which is trying to figure out why anyone would think wearing those straps on their sunglasses is cool. The frat guys seem to pride themselves in being cool and as we see from bassman they like to make fun of our geeky cargo shorts....but god those straps are equally as geeky.

C'mon man

Oh you mean those straps that are used by just about every group of white people you can find? I see more rednecks with chums that fraternity guys. They are abundant at any sporting event for just about every age group.
