25 Differences Between Hipsters and Fraternity Men
Ever since the dawn of organized education, there has been a deep division amongst the student body. Traditionally this division has been between incredibly intelligent yet physically fragile nerds and athletic jocks that are dumber than a sock full of used condoms. However, this dichotomy has been played out by every single B rate college movie ever produced. It’s out dated and cliché in modern times. No one really cares if you’re smart and no one really cares if you’re in shape. The stigma doesn’t exist any more… unless you want to be a quantum physicist or a porn star. If that’s the case, you should probably stick to conventional stereotypes.
The new division is between the Greek system and GDIs. The absolute epitome of a GDI is the hipster. The hipster is an elusive, “non-conformist”, cultural bottom feeder, teeming with an unwarranted sense of self worth and arrogance. There is no common ground between the two camps. Hipsters hate Greeks because they see them as the ultimate conformity. Greeks can’t stand hipsters because… well… no one can stand hipsters.
For those who might not be aware of the distinction between these two radically different sub-cultures, here are 25 differences between the hipster and the fraternity man.
