Spring pledgeship offers a ton of advantages over that of Fall, none more than the week of Spring Break. Yet, not all fraternities let pledges ditch for a week. If you’re lucky enough to escape the haze-fest of pledgeship, go gypsy style and give the middle-finger to high-priced hotels. Let HostelBookers be your #13 PCP for the week.

“If you could rape someone, who would it be?” If that’s not enough of an incentive to read this story, I don’t know what is. University of Vermont SigEp was suspended for an offensive survey. Shocker? Not really. Check out the article after the jump.

It’s sometimes best to let the media speak, even if their inspirational #29 anti-hazing douchebag commentary makes you sick. We can’t always be supportive of the brotherhood, now can we? Either way, take a quick read over a local newspaper’s definition of “6 Common Myths”. Cheers to high school hazing, let’s teach ‘em young!

Welcome. Around 2 years ago, a few fraternity brothers (a few drinks in) came up with the nit-witted idea to start a website. Broke as always, the stellar bunch somehow rounded up enough money to make it happen. 80+ articles and 100+ thousand unique visitors later, it’s time to break down all that the Pledging [...]

Not to be racist, but Florida A&M turns the minority into the majority. No matter where you’re from, multi-cultural fraternities take hazing to a whole new level. Yet, as previously discussed, fraternities aren’t the only ones professing the age-old art. In this case, a marching band takes things a little too far.

No matter how much of a badass you are, there will definitely come a point in pledgeship when you ask yourself… why the fuck am I doing this? Yet, not to worry, this doesn’t rival the trepid days of adolescent childhood when you ponder your sexuality. Don’t tell me the thought never crossed your mind…? Either way, your hardest [...]

As always, the Brotherhood keeps you in-the-know. The latest story comes out of the great state of Tennessee. Vanderbilt held its homecoming weekend last week, and as is tradition, the fraternities hosted alumni brothers for a late-night party. At SAE, they are still surveying the damage. It’s one thing to blow a $12K bar-tab, it’s [...]

Every once in a while the Brotherhood runs across a video worth sharing. In most cases, society’s taboo practices usually create a gold-mine of underground content. Yet, there isn’t too much evidence out there. You be the judge whether or not the video is real or staged. Either way, it’s a quality representation of the [...]

With the transition of high school to college comes the expectation of social survival. Your dorm room gets smaller and smaller by the day, all-the-while your social life dwindles. Once you’ve grown a sack and decided to #2 Rush, your alcoholic education begins. You’re not only joining a Brotherhood, you’re entering a semester long class of alcoholic consumption.

The life of a pledge is full of ups-and-downs: a rollercoaster, if you will. With orientation, pledge socials, hell week, and so much more, it’s tough to put your finger on the highest-highs or the lowest-lows. In the Fall, one day reigns supreme: Game Day. While everyone wishes they were in the SEC, football is [...]

When it comes to the Brotherhood, we’re all developing our inner-frat-star status with every day that goes by. Yet, unlike the typical #20 GDI, each and every frat star will be famous one day. In preparation for future celebrity status, the Brotherhood perfects their scribble-skills through the evolutionary concept of Signature Books. Yet, they’re way [...]

The decision to join a fraternity rivals one of marriage. The options of women, and that of fraternities, are endless. Yet, in the end, only one reigns supreme. The downside? The money, of course.

Ever wonder how the brotherhood stays connected? Just as some of the most simple aspects of every-day life are transformed into greatness through fraternities, even the most basic form of communication is taken to the next level in the brotherhood. With modern technology on the rise, most-notably crack-berries and i-phones, brothers are constantly in touch with one another. In [...]

If you’re somewhat new to the fraternal way of life, there’s nothing more confusing than the Greek alphabet.
