Amazing how guys in frats manage to get an education.

At VMI, we didn’t have frats. It was just one big fart, er, frat.

No wonder those idiots feel right at home!!!

did i mention that when my kids left the nest, i moved to a college town to get a jump start on my new life and accidently wound up renting an apt on fraternity row? haha ha …you may ask, how did that happen? well, this comic is true, they dont stir until noon or thereafter.. so i worked at night and then had these lovely mornings with squirrels and birds singing and lalala ..it was the ideal place to live.

“Destined to a lifetime of poor choices.”

This is as lively and involved as Jeff has ever appeared. He can see himself in Walden; he actually wants to be there; he is obviously Dean’s List material.

Go Jeff! Life is calling you!

Dubya attended Walden? I mean, after eight years of his presidency you could make a strong case for it, but still……

I suppose to appreciate a Fraternity or a Sorority you need to be in one. I went to college in the Phi Semper Fidelis Frat. We were pretty tight.

Hurling is an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic Irish origin, played by men. Though it’s strange they would play that game on the roof.

I never had any interest in drinking (still don’t), so I figured it would be rather pointless for me to join a sorority.

Something like Woodstock…if you can remember it, you weren’t there.

Only 215 my hindquarters

Jeff chose Walden—-100 pushups before breakfast have suddenly lost their appeal

In California, there used to an “in loco parentis” policy that allowed the University of California to ban alcohol within a mile of campus. I was living across the street from a fraternity when it was abolished. After that, at the end of every weekend, the streets would would literally run red with wine as they emptied out their kegs.

I thought frats were identified with GREEK letters!!

The dean at my conservative, church-related college got mad when the 7/11 got a license to sell beer. He didn’t want alcohol within walking distance of the campus.

That led to many drunk driving jokes.

I wonder if the reputation of the DKEs is as bad all over as what I have heard? Had one guy who had attended another school in the deep South tell me that any girl seen out with a DKE was immediately labeled an “easy” girl (back in the mid to late ’60s). Had a friend attend a DKE toga party at my school and said she spent the whole night trying to keep her toga on. Those DKE guys party hard it seems.

Frat houses have a particular smell that occur nowhere else in nature (thank goodness)

Two ways to make higher education more educational; get rid of the Greek Geeks and move the sports tracks to their pro counterparts and let them cover the expense of training their replacements. The alums will not be endowing sports scholarships and building new arenas while the arts and sciences are begging for basic supplies.
