40 Things GDIs Should Know About Greeks

1. We are going to take up the whole sidewalk when we walk to class. Longboard accordingly.

2. We’re too hungover to give a shit about your pamphlet, don’t try to hand one to us.

3. There’s a bike lane. Use it.

4. We don’t pay for our friends, we pay to not have to hang out with people like you.

5. Your 1.5 keg house party stories aren’t impressive to us at all.

6. Stop asking so many fucking questions at the end of class.

7. If we’re doing a group project, don’t schedule meetings at 10PM on a Saturday.

8. We have our awesome bars, you have your hipster bars. Keep it separate.

9. We aren’t sure why you would ever choose to be an RA, but we’re guessing it’s an inherent love for the men’s room communal showers.

10. We don’t understand why you feel the need to have so many pockets on your shorts.

11. We instantly label you as “douchebag” when we see that Affliction shirt.

12. Sorority girls laugh behind your back when you try to hit on them.

13. You spend the summer back home jerking off thrice daily. We spend the summer sailfishing in the Florida Keys.

14. We all think you should get a haircut.

15. You call us conformists. We call you socially inept.

16. If you’re going to “occupy” somewhere, at least do it quietly. After a rough night our well being depends on our ability to sleep until noon.

17. We get excited for Sunday Funday. You get excited for Pizza Tuesdays at the on campus dining hall.

18. The entire road is not a bike lane, and I won’t hesitate to knock your ass over if you treat it as such.

19. We drink more than you. I promise.

20. We don’t think a heterosexual guy should ever go to a tanning bed.

21. You drank three beers at your house before the football game. We did six consecutive upside-down margarita shots. Who do you think is going to have more fun?

22. You gave blood once. Our chapters give thousands of dollars to charity while simultaneously hosting a sloppy shitshow of an event.

23. If you’re an intramural referee, and don’t want to get yelled at, MAKE BETTER CALLS.

24. Don’t take any of the seats in the back row of class, those are reserved for us.

25. We can get away with anything while you get sent to Student Conduct for having a six pack of imports in your dorm room.

26. No matter what your excuse is for skipping rush, it isn’t a good one.

27. If you saw the fantastically slutty things girls pass off as “clothes” at socials, you wouldn’t laugh at our ridiculous outfits.

28. Our shorts aren’t too short, yours are just too long.

29. You can put all the Greek letters in the world in your title, but your little collective of 20 Pre-Law students will never be anything more than an insignificant club.

30. Finding a hot sorority girl is as easy as finding a reason to hate Lebron James. Finding a hot GDI girl is as likely as winning the lottery while simultaneously getting struck by three bolts of lightning.

31. If you’re the one that played five Nickelback songs in a row at the bar last night, fuck you.

32. You don’t go to the best bars until your 21st birthday. We’ve been getting in for years.

33. Think of the most beer you’ve ever bought. Then multiply it by ten. You now have an average night’s worth of alcohol at the fraternity house.

34. We have more respect for our dogs than we do for you.

35. If we have to present a group project in class, we’ll take care of the talking.

36. It’s a lot easier to get good grades when your test bank goes all the way back to 1985.

37. If your life ambition is to become a TA, we hope you learn to actually speak English first.

38. You might think we have a few things in common. I assure you, we don’t.

39. You might think you understand what we’re all about. You don’t.

40. Yes, we actually are better than you.

      Essentially, everything except hazing, which yes “lack of true brotherhood” but nothing else beyond that.

      Yeah, since when does true brotherhood have anything to do with fraternities

      You’re a goddamn idiot if you think social and professional fraternities are essentially the same thing.

      You honestly believe your professional society can remotely compare to the brotherhood and prestige of our historic, established social fraternities?

    Some things are just better left unsaid. Good concept, but you’re not funny. Take 5 laps while chugging bleach and fucking DIE

    A bit try hardish… But I can’t agree more with #2. I don’t know how many times I’ve wanted to just scream at some dumb fuck heading out fliers on campus.

    #35 is right on the money. I love demeaning my entire group by just saying, “I’ll handle this part.”

      37. If your life ambition is to become a TA, we hope you learn to actually speak English first.

      If you are getting a degree in the Biological Sciences, you can count on this not happening. My OrGo 2 TA was straight off the boat.

    Your chances of finding a hot GDI girl are the same as your chances of getting mauled by a polar bear and a regular bear in the same day.

    In the middle of Greek Week. I’d like to emphasize number 23 and submit number 41:

    41: As soon as you hear “Who do you know here” please just leave and save yourself the trouble.

      ^ Especially when they try to make a name up. Like we don’t know the names of our Brothers.

      ^ I love when that happens. “Dude I swear he’s in this frat, he told me I could come”…Well shit, if you swear he’s a brother who am I to doubt you.
