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?

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.

Just be prepared to be confronted with inquiries about the secret handshake and multiple other code questions. See the full list after the jump!

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?

For all the freedoms universities afford you, the one thing they’re mindlessly stingy on is bathrooms. You have to learn how to how to beat the system. Here’s a guide to all the places you can piss on campus during a late night out… if you’re willing to forgo an actual toilet.
