REAL FRAT MOVES
Awwww fuck y’all, looks like some bitches up at Texas A&M decided to throw down. (as Bluto) “INTERNET FIGHT!!!!!” This article, posted on the Texas A&M Department of Greek Life Tumblr (I prefer my Tumblrs to have cat memes personally) decided to repost this blog written over the summer by a gentleman (seriously, this bro is a FUCKING. GENTLEMAN.) from South Carolina. Here’s the excerpt from the blog explaining the entire premise of the article.
It is called a Real Fraternity/Sorority Move or RFM/RSM.
The concept here is easy. Instead of promoting actions and statements like those at the beginning of this post (ed. note: regular TFM/TSM posts), post to Facebook (end posts with RFM/RSM), tweet (use the hashtag #RFM/#RSM), blog (link back to this post or share your own stories), etc. What might some of these posts look like?
“Living scholarship today by studying for my test rather than going to the bars. #RFM”
“Spending five hours today with my sisters building a house with Habitat. #RSM”
“Teaching our new members our values so they can lead our chapter with purpose. RFM”
“Knowing that my actions represent not only me, but other sorority women and the community. RSM”
While it might not seem like anything huge, someone will probably ask you what it means and you can explain.
Specifically you can explain that you’re a humorless, blood belching vagina.
“Oh hey Carl, I noticed something called an ‘RFM’ that you posted on Twitter today, what was that about?”
“Well I just thought that pointing out my fraternity’s community service, and my own commitment to the community was important, if people think that makes me sound like a pussy or whatever, who cares, right?”
“It DOES!” (*Punches Carl, runs home and fucks Carl’s girlfriend, The End*)
Honestly some of those example RFMs/RSMs sound every bit as superior as “Did cocaine on my yacht while reading Decision Points and getting a blow j buffet from three strippers. TFM,” but, you know, without being interesting in any way whatsoever.
That’s what we thought at first anyway. But we decided to embrace this RFM/RSM movement and write out some of our own. We think we did a better job. Judge for yourselves, and feel free to add more in the comments.
Started a contest for how many held doors for women. I’m at 12 today. RFM.

13 years ago at 9:06 pmActually TCLutz, staying a virgin until marriage is not an act of being a gentleman, its being a Christian. I’m a virgin and waiting to have sex until marriage because
13 years ago at 11:18 pmI’m a Christian and believe what the Gods word. So please stop..
^ Being a Christian but believing in more than one God. TPM
13 years ago at 12:08 amFratty Ice – I am too, and it’s difficult to stay that way. I’ve almost lost it a couple times, but my conscience prevailed. It’s tough. Nobody, especially anyone that claims to be a Christian, should trash another for making a conscious effort to stay a virgin.
13 years ago at 12:36 amyou are a fucking loser, get on christiansingles.com if you want to rant and rave about this, guess what 99 percent of the people on this website are Christian, and guess what 99.9 percent of them weren’t too big of pussies to pull the trigger.
13 years ago at 10:20 amEveryday I wake up a born again virgin
13 years ago at 1:20 pmSo respecting God’s word and not having sex before marriage makes you a pussy? I am a christian and i have had sex. But it also caused alot of crap that wasn’t needed. Bashing on people because they choose not to have sex is 1) the most disrespectful thing a man can do 2) NF and 3) just tells me how much a PUSSY you are. So please never have sex so the next generation doesn’t have to put up with arrogant dumb fucks like yourself
13 years ago at 5:38 pmThe Bible never explicitly states to save sexual intercourse or anything sexual for marriage. Paul, who injects many of his own opinions that are not based on Jesus’ teachings (and many times not actually written by Paul). And in “his” writings he says not to “fornicate” which comes from a translation of a word which means “to solicit prostitutes”
So, the only thing the Bible forbids is getting a hooker. Sorry for the novel, but religion is important and people rarely do their own research. I just thought I’d help some brothers out. I would suggest looking into this for oneself though.
13 years ago at 11:00 pmMy boyfriend and I have committed to abstinence and we’re both virgins.. like… very virgins.
We’ve lasted 22 years without sex… 2 more years isn’t going to kill us.
Get some perspective and respect.
13 years ago at 11:05 pm^^ Well if you’re catholic you’re not actually supposed to read the bible, but overall a very good point.
13 years ago at 1:07 am^Wait, what??
13 years ago at 5:28 pmDamn, virgins are touchy… especially for people who are taking the high road.
13 years ago at 9:32 amFratty__Ice and Fraternity Lifestyle are those guys who, instead of slamming, are chronically masturbating in their room at their mom’s house.
13 years ago at 11:45 amThinkThereforeFRAT: while it is true that the words “do not have sex before marriage” cannot be found in the Bible, the Scriptures are clear that those who have faith in God are called to remain abstinant prior to marriage. It is throughout the Old and New Testaments. Jesus went as far as saying even looking lustfully at a woman to whom you’re not married is the moral equivilant to having already committed adultery in one’s own heart. The Bible always talks about a blessed sexual union being in the context of a marriage.
I’m not saying what you should or should not do. I’m saying to anyone who wants to try to read the Bible as if it gives license for premarital sex is being intellectually dishonest.
Also, if you happen to read this, I would be curious as to what these Pauline opinions that were “interjected” which had nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus were? They may have placed emphasis on different things, but both Paul and Christ were both grounded in the Old Testament. Are there any theological themes which Paul discusses that were not also discussed by either Jesus and/or the Old Testament? I’m aware of none (and I’m a fraternity alumnus now in seminary school).
Peace and blessings.
13 years ago at 4:44 pmAppoBRO Creed, Check out this site for some, at least interesting, reading. I hope that we may both continue to learn and go on to understand truth.
http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/
13 years ago at 7:44 pmLet’s not start on the Old Testament.
Paul (injected, not interjected, sorry) in 1 Corinthians that he hadn’t received any command from the Lord to write the specific instructions mentioned in that chapter, but was merely giving his own opinion.
7:12 But to the rest SPEAK I, NOT THE LORD: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
7:25 Now concerning virgins I HAVE NO COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
He goes on to say a lot about whether to marry or if you should or shouldn’t and doesn’t preface it each time with “this is just my opinion….but” So, there is just a lot to take in within context. Just a thought. Just take a look around that website. Some of the criticism is dumb but all is based on the letter of the Word.
13 years ago at 8:08 pmThinkThereforeFRAT Neither of these verses quoted from 1 Corinthians 7 has anything to do about sex before marriage. 1 Cor 7:12 pertains to marriage between believers and non-believers. 1 Cor 7:25 is the beginning of a passage discussing the advantages of being single but does not discuss sexuality. These texts do not change the fact that the Bible affirms to necessity of purity outside of marriage. Exploring your emphasis on verse 25 “concerning virgins I HAVE NO COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD,” but what he is saying is in the context of whether or not a person should or should not be single. Paul is clearly not (nor is this in the rest of the chapter) making a generalized statement that he has no commands at all pertaining to people who are unmarried. I feel that the emphasis which was added gives the text that appearance, but that completely takes the verse out of context.
Also, there is a common interpretation among scholars that when Paul talks about not having a command from the Lord, (a) Paul is not contradicting anything else in scripture, so even if it was just his opinion, it would still be doctrinally sound; (b) that Paul never says it’s a matter of his opinion, but that he is actually saying that he is saying something that Jesus never specifically said in His earthly ministry but which is still consistent with the scriptures; (c) that if someone is a Bible believing Christian, b is affirmed because the idea that Paul would unilaterally make statements which are not agreed upon by God within a text that is believed by Christians to be divinely inspired is a theological contradiction.
In closing, nothing in those verses affirms the morality of sex outside of marriage.
13 years ago at 10:46 pmBrothers, There is nothing wrong or NF about waiting to have sex until your married. The Bible commands it. We in fact have a God who is a total Fratstar. Jesus turned water into wine, reminded everyone who His Dad was when the GDI religious establishment questioned His authorities, flipped GDI moneychanger’s tables over in the Temple, and eternally hazes everyone who doesn’t pledge to Him and His Kingdom. If God(the one who created sex) commands us to what until marriage to have sex, I’m pretty sure it’s a TFM to follow His word. He is the founding member of the only fraternity that will outlast the world itself. Rethink your definition of what a TFM is if you disagree with me.
13 years ago at 1:13 pm^ well said.
13 years ago at 2:30 pm^Likewise.
13 years ago at 5:12 pmOne of the few places where I say the Bible is wrong. If I’m going to dedicate the rest of my life to a girl, I need to know I’ll actually enjoy the sex. Bad sex can and has doomed marriages, what with it being the primary biological reason behind the concept in the first place.
13 years ago at 1:24 amBYX here.
Premarital sex is a tough issue. After all, it’s not explicitly forbidden in the Bible, it doesn’t hurt anyone (in the short run), it can be practiced safely, and it’s perfectly legal, unlike most other sins that are acknowledged by nearly everyone. So why do the majority of Christians assert that it’s a sin?
It’s implied through a couple of verses. This is how I see it: in 1 Corinthians: 1-2, Paul writes, “Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: ‘It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.’ But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.” The only cure to sexual immorality, whatever that may be, appears to be marriage, thus implying that sex outside of marriage is not what is best for a Christian.
Another set of verses, also from 1 Corinthians, goes a bit deeper (no pun intended). Verses 15 and 16 state, “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, ‘The two will become one flesh.'” The context of the often-used phrase “become one flesh” suggests that the act of becoming one flesh cannot be completely undone. This is why you wouldn’t want to “unite” yourself with a prostitute, since you would become one flesh with them and essentially become married to them in the eyes of the Lord.
I know these are the writings of Paul and not Jesus, but as AppoBRO Creed said, these do not contradict any Old Testament laws or anything else mentioned in scripture, so they shouldn’t necessarily be discarded.
Basically, through these two verses as well as some others that I’m currently too lazy to copy and paste, I personally feel this is the sexual outlook I should have as a Christian: The act of sex is marriage. I should only have sex with one woman my entire life, unless that woman is taken away from me by factors out of my control. Therefore, if I am to have sex before legal marriage, I should be committed to staying with her for the rest of my life. If I really am that committed, I should probably just marry her.
As men, being our sexually-charged selves it’s often hard for us to see that sex is a sacred act that God intended us to share with one person, unless we remarry for biblically acceptable reasons, such as the death of a spouse, your spouse divorcing you or you divorcing your spouse due to their adultery. But it reaps its rewards. Bronan the Barbarian, I have thought like you before, but there are many studies out there that show that couples who waited until marriage to engage in sex have much more satisfactory sex lives. Check them out.
These are just some things to think about if you’re a Christian, if you haven’t already.
13 years ago at 11:39 pmGod designed us to have sex with women. Evolution designed assert dominant alpha male status by fucking every attractive female we lay eyes upon, thus making us FaF. Atheism FTW

13 years ago at 8:15 pmthreesomes RFM
13 years ago at 12:09 pm“Being prescribed adderall but not taking it, because effort>ADHD. RFM.” this is amongst the dumbest fucking thing i’ve ever read. If you are prescribed adderall, but don’t need it you are admitting to lying to doctor. Also some people actually do really need those types of medications, it’s not just a lack of effort. Whoever wrote that is a jackass
13 years ago at 2:41 pmLet’s simmer down.
13 years ago at 2:45 pmUm, did you ever stop and think to yourself, “wait a minute, EVERYONE on this website is a jackass!”
