4. Try-Hard Pledge

“Bro, do you even FRAT?”

Try-hard Pledge is a relatively new breed, but is ridiculously easy to identify. He’s the guy rocking his Chubbies, tank top and visor on the way to class during blizzards and hurricanes. Picking the most obnoxious neon outfits possible, he’s made it completely certain he’ll never be hit by any cars in the dark. He owns as many flasks as pencils, and is always armed with both when going to class.

Trying to talk to this guy is even worse. He is on a mission to say “BRO” and “FRAT” as many times per sentence as possible. In group settings, his icebreakers usually include a few gems about how fat this sorority is and how women aren’t people. Try-hard pledge can usually be spotted on his laptop during study hours, flooding the school’s Greekrank with his wisdom. He’s constantly calling out his pledge brothers for not dressing “fratty enough,” and when drunk, has been known to call out members.

Try-Hard Pledge simply needs his ass beat, and even the cheapest of fraternity brothers seriously contemplate paying the house fine to make that happen. However, this guy is very unique in that the fraternity usually doesn’t blackball him. They don’t even get the chance. The university itself typically beats them to the punch, telling him and his 0.3 GPA to hit the road.
