The Real Animal House: The Awesomely Depraved Saga of the Fraternity That Inspired the Movie
While it has been just a few years since Web Watch last stepped foot inside a fraternity house, based on what we’ve read on TOTAL FRAT MOVE, it looks like things haven’t changed that much.
But once you peel away the torn up furniture in the common rooms, holes in the drywall, and floors still sticky from last week’s legendary party – you’ll see that fraternities are about bonding with your brothers in a way not often seen by those who haven’t been accepted themselves.
But if you’re wanting to relive the frat life of your past – or are a GDI and want to pretend that you’re in a fraternity – then you may want to take note of some of the advice that TOTAL FRAT MOVE has posted some of these topics for you:
- HOW TO DRESS FRAT: preppy, apparently, hasn’t gone out of style. Orvis, Sperry Topsiders, and any number of chino/polo/web belt combination will get you through any social event
- A LIST OF TV CHARACTER FRATSTARS: Family Guy’s Carter Pewterschmidt, 30 Rock’s Jack Donaghy, Entourage’s Ari Gold, and the most obvious choice of Gilligan’s Island’s Thurston Howell III are all the perfect embodiment of a former fraternity member
- THE TOP TEN LESSONS FOR GENTLEMEN, as applied to fraternities. Web Watch’s favorite on the list? “No pierced ears. You know who has pierced ears? The Boise State Kicker.” Ha!
So if you’ve seen or heard something that’s a Total Frat Move (“TFM”) or a Total Sorority Move (“TSM”), then take a picture of it, send it in, write a column — share your findings with your fellow brothers and sisters.
For those of you wondering if you’ll get the lowdown on fraternity hazing by reading TFM, keep in mind that Web Watch told you months ago that the FRATERNITY HAZING DOCUMENTARY, FRAT HOUSE, WAS FAKED AND STAGED.
So no. You won’t find anything like that on TFM. Just good ol’ fashioned collegiate humor.
So who really is the target audience for TFM? We’ll let TFM user WarFratEagle answer that:
I am the well-dressed, polite, good looking friend that your parents always liked a little better than you
