What makes a school frat? Just because your school has a greek system does not make it frat. National greek house needs to make money, so if a student can gather enough support to get the national office’s attention then that person can be granted a charter for a house. Is a school that has a good athletic program automatically make it frat? A solid athletic program allows the university to have a frattier experience but by no means is that school frat. Example: University of Southern California is not frat. Southern Methodist University is FRAT. Please refer to the descriptions below to determine if your school is indeed FRAT. Read more after the jump!

Frat life can be a hard life if you’re not familiar with its terminology. Like any other organization, if you can’t speak the language (“talk the talk”), you can’t walk the walk. So, to excel in your fratty endeavors, we decided to drop some bro-knowledge aka brah-ledge on your faces with this extremely useful and up-to-date glossary of fraternity terms. Some are well known, formal, and recognized by school boards everywhere while others have been cooked up in the moldy Gatorade bucket of the foul-smelling back room located in a dirty, beer-covered basement. Even if you’re aren’t in a frat, but embrace your fratty side, feel free to throw these terms around. Just be prepared to be confronted with inquiries about the secret handshake and multiple other code questions. See the full list after the jump!

Kiplinger’s just released its ranking of the best value schools broken down into two major categories: public and private. Their rankings are based on a combination of academics (SAT or ACT scores, admission and retention rates, graduation rates) and affordability (total expenses for in-state vs. out-of-state students, average debt per student at graduation). While that’s all well and good for penny pinchers, what about us booty chasers? We decided to take a look at which of the top “best value” public and private colleges hooks up the most.

Frat-rat (frat rat) n. 1: a girl that spends exorbitant amounts of time at a frat house, usually with the intent to slut it up with one or more of the fraternity brothers; a girl that bangs a different frat guy every week. Any way you slice it, the term ‘frat-rat’ is far from endearing. Yet there is always that girl who seems proud to make it her reputation.

Fraternity. It’s synonymous with brotherhood. And like real brotherhood, there are major prices to having a fraternity brother as well: member dues, emergency keg funds, stripper fees. As many freshmen think about which fraternity to join on campus, they have to ask themselves: Am I willing to pay that price?

Sequels, Remakes, Reboots and “Reimaginationings” have been Hollywood’s bread and butter over the past decade, however movies like 2008′s Rambo and Alien vs. Predator wouldn’t exist without the original classics from the decades before it. If you’re a guy and haven’t seen these movies, you better speed, shoot, fight or explode yourself to your local Blockbuster, add them to your Netflix Queue or find them on eBay because they’re all must sees.

Every time you enter an overcrowded, crazy college house party, you can be sure that there will be some cheap, fizzy beer on tap. Most likely, it’s whatever was cheapest at your local liquor store. But believe it or not, there are still some frat house beers that are better than others. Remember that just because Milwaukee’s Best is 75 cents less than Pabst doesn’t mean it’s the best choice.

Two more New England College students have been arrested on hazing charges linked to a pledging ceremony last fall. Henniker police say 25-year-old Nicholas Weiss and 22-year-old Kevin Phelps used a World War II-era bayonet, which wasn’t connected to a rifle, to brand at least seven students during the pledging ceremony at the Sigma Alpha Beta fraternity.

I was a bit late when it came to losing my V-Card. Almost every one of my friends handed that thing in long (and I mean looong) before me. It wasn’t that I was waiting for loooooove, or saving myself for marriage; it was just that I had never had a boyfriend and wasn’t ready to give it up to some rando from a frat party.
