#1 Fortnite vs. #8 Boob luges

Fortnite is the #1 game in the college world right now even though it’s been called the leading cause of stress among American college students.

A true testament to its popularity and resilience. I wouldn’t exactly call boob luges “resilient” since they seem to have died off since having a massive moment back in 2016, but anyone who says they aren’t frat is either a liar or someone with an arguably purer set of morals than all of us.

#4 Tinder vs. #5 Ray-Bans

For this one, just think about which of these adds the most to your life overall. Therein lies the answer, whatever that may be.

#3 Fire vs. #6 Beer pong

This is totally unrelated, but seeing these two concepts together reminds me of the time my friend’s pledge brother tried to get a dent out of a beer pong ping pong ball by folding a flame up to it. It’s apparently supposed to make the dent disappear, but in this case all it did was light the ping pong ball on fire. The guy freaked out and accidentally through the hunk of burning plastic at another fraternity brother’s face. He was okay, but the ball proceeded to burn a hole in the carpet of the apartment the pledge brother had just moved into. Not sure if he got his security deposit back or not.

Anyways, vote.

#10 Sports betting vs. #15 Loaded shotguns

Two first-round upsetters face off in the round of 32. The journey will end here for one of these Cinderellies. Will it be Cinderella 1, the degenerate gambler, or Cinderella 2, the disgusting concoction of beer and God knows what else?

    Hey TFM intern. I’m not sure why you’d write this “what’s the most frat” bracket and put hazing as a 1 seed. You have to understand why people want to shut your organizations down when websites like this glorify hazing (you are literally labeling it as one of the most important aspects of “being frat.”)

    Just this past year, you had two pledges, Tim Piazza and Max gruver, die due to hazing administered (and in Tim’s case, covered up) by their so-called brothers.

    I don’t know, man. Something about hazing doesn’t seem like something that should be comedically lauded as frat. I’m not telling you how to do your job, or what articles to write. That’s all you, my man. But don’t be shocked when people call to restrict or shut down Greek life on college campuses, when it’s apparent that articles like this represent the culture of Greek life.

      Hazing can be just about anything. When done correctly and responsibly, keeping the goal of shaping and bonding/strengthening a group in mind and NOT letting idiots do it to get their aggression out or do something “funny,” it can be a good tool for edifying a fraternity.

      But in this day and age of the instantaneous spread of information and one-upmanship, it’s very hard to walk that fine line.

      Being a number one seed has to do with the fact that hazing has a place in our histories and traditions. For the vast majority of all frats and their respective histories, hazing was treated like a wild animal: you give it the respect it deserves; acknowledge that it is dangerous and act accordingly; and don’t take any but the most calculated of risks.

    Juuls and fucking fortnite are going to outlast either whiskey or cigs. Where the fuck did we go wrong

      Right, because technology-based fads that have been popular less than a year will definitely outlast addiction-supported products that have been in use for hundreds of years.

        Well excuuuuuuse me, Shape Of Water, but I consider this bracket to be a metaphor for Real Life.

        Of course it’s a metaphor for real life but not in terms of long term longevity of EXISTENCE in frat culture but rather the current stance in RANK of these things as it pertains to this year.

        I mean HE. HE wouldn’t have to comment at all if you had a monkey’s grasp of what is happening here.

    Foldable tables didn’t make sense to me at first but I think with beer pong representing the drinking games clan, table jumping can cover our “ridiculous, damaging drunk physical incidents” base.
