Random Fraternity Guy Dishes Out A+ Advice On How To Avoid Dressing Like A Try-hard
If you’re wearing boat shoes, 6-inch inseams, and croakies in a blizzard because the internet told you it was “frat,” this one is for you. Some random fraternity kid is here to make sure that no one ever dresses like a try-hard.
I’m not going to sit here and say that there aren’t plenty of try-hards out there who dress like total buffoons, but I think this kid is taking it just a bit too seriously. He does get one thing right in all of this: You aren’t frat because of how you dress, you are frat for the things you go through in pledgeship and after initiation.
Here I was thinking that rush was all about getting to know a person, not a fashion show. I think this guy needs to take his own advice and do less. I mean, he’s so caught up in how a person is dressed he sounds like damn chick.
“OMG look at that kid. He’s wearing TWO things of Vineyard Vines! No bid!”
“But, uh, Eric… the kid is smart as hell, was a two-sport athlete, and gets a lot of chicks. Maybe you should reconsider.”
“NOPE. I drew the line when I specifically said ONLY ONE PIECE OF VINEYARD VINES.”
Besides, as every good pledge master knows: With proper hazing, uhhh I mean guidance, you can always turn a try-hard’s most negative aspects into positive ones..
But I thought RG was frat as fuck? What am I supposed to do now. Asking Based Dorn for advice please.

10 years ago at 11:49 amRock $500 Gucci Moccasins to lecture hall classes as an undergrad or you aren’t top tier and southern
10 years ago at 11:50 amI prefer the $3,400 lambskin sandals.
10 years ago at 2:01 pmGucci is for blacks. #free gucci.
10 years ago at 3:58 pmif you want a nice loafer look at tod’s. they’re sweet
Nothing beats Ferragamo
10 years ago at 4:18 pma lot of things beat Ferragamo. but at that level it’s simply taste and personal preference.
10 years ago at 6:01 pmI will say tho that lv quality as well as Gucci is garbage now. having owned 2 belts that are destroyed after casual wear for a couple years I think if you’re going to pay, go with Hermes or ysl.
10 years ago at 7:48 pmI prefer the Gucci 1953 Gold Leather Loafers Hoesebit Moccasins. They are only $400. I’m such a Poor though
10 years ago at 6:11 pmIf it isn’t stated, then the ones that get bids will continue to dress like try hards and embarrass your chapter.

10 years ago at 12:06 pmIf you have to read this article to learn how to dress you’re already Fucked.
10 years ago at 12:27 pmNot either realizing or acknowledging that this guy is calling TFM try hard makes you the buffoon
10 years ago at 12:41 pmIf you have to read a blog to know how to dress you should just rush a sorority. I can’t deal with dumb shit like this anymore.
10 years ago at 12:52 pmProbably smart to post something where someone is telling people not to wear Rowdy Gentlemen gear when the company you work for owns Rowdy Gentlemen
10 years ago at 12:56 pmGiving that much of a shit about what other dudes are wearing is extremely try hard.
10 years ago at 1:14 pmehh IDK, during rush I do. I don’t care that much but this person is going to be associated with me everywhere they go on campus. He needs to look like he has some semblance of order in his life.
10 years ago at 3:01 pmI’ll grant there are extremes and they definitely speak to who that person is, whether it’s cargoes and a studded belt or wildly loud madras pants. But to be as nit picky as this guy is lame AF. Dude, they’re 17/18 years old. They aren’t the smartest or most self aware people. You look for potential in a kid not how many fucking whales he has on his clothes.
10 years ago at 5:24 pmI hope you’re not trying to defend rowdy gentleman.
10 years ago at 2:21 pmthe fact that it’s specifically about rush makes a huge difference. Dressing like a try-hard during rush insinuates that you already have the mindset that you think you’re an active.
10 years ago at 10:47 pmNo, most kids just want to “look the part”, or what they believe it is anyway.
