What constitutes ‘Frat’ and ‘Not Frat’ is probably the longest-running debate throughout fraternity history. You see this debate unfolding every week when bros begrudgingly meet in the Chapter Room, and this same debate spills over into bars, mixers, and even on the Internet in forums like Reddit’s r/frat.
Instead of splitting out the ‘Frat vs. Not Frat’ debate into a million tiny micro-discussions a bunch of bros condensed the debate to one large thread (see it in full here). The responses to this ‘Frat vs. Not Frat’ discussion are fanfuckingtastic, and I felt compelled to share them with all you bros today. I’m also curious to see if any of you bros out there disagree with any of these Frat or Not Frat assessments.
The responses below work like this: Question above, answer below with ‘F’ for Frat and ‘NF’ for Not Frat. It’s pretty self-explanatory but I wanted to make sure everyone’s on the same page here.
